^ well for u it doesnt matter, for batteries that weigh more its better to have em in the back

That is correct my friend true indeed for me 'cause I'll have a V-8 but even Idaho can benefit from it. I mean it might not be much of a difference but every little bit counts. And if your gonna be dragging it'll be extra weight on your rear tires which translate to a little more grip.

[idahotuner]

yea that is true. more grip is nice.

i am getting confused about gettign a .64 or a .86 again awwww

[redtop91]

What is the car going to be used for?

yeah, his battery is super light though

.64

What is the car going to be used for?

i know the answer, drag

[idahotuner]

What is the car going to be used for?

mostly street but the ocasional street drags at the local track

[White Comet]

ok, i could have sworn u said u were focusing on drag

[idahotuner]

lol sorry for the miss understanding, but yea as far as any kind of competing it will be drag racing. but other then that it will be one mean street machine. so i guess i should go wit hthe .64 probably. since it will see more street use then track use

[redtop91]

.86 you'll trap higher with it.

[idahotuner]

i figured a .86 would mean i would get more traction off the line too.

[srdub-t]

just like i said.

[idahotuner]

awe. you said more traction off the line lol. in that other thread i made

[redtop91]

it helps a little to have the battery in teh back, the extra weight in teh rear will help

Depends on how and where it is mounted in the rear. Too far back will cause a sort of pendulum swing effect, you don't want (ideally) any weight at the car's extremities or above or below the center of gravity. The best place is opposite the driver below the passenger's feet, not only will this make for a more balanced weight transfer, but it'll help the center of gravity a bit.

[srdub-t]

lol yea in ur other thread. turbo lag isnt that bad. I kinda like it

yeah thats true, i dont wanna mount mine there cuz it would suck for a passenger, mines right behind the pass seat, which isnt too bad

.64 will work pretty good with ur cams (theyre 264 right?) u dont want a turbo that REALLY makes the power past the efficiency of the rest of ur set up

[duffman1278]

I plan on putting mine right behind the passanger seat as well, keep it away from the gas tank

[White Comet]

yeah it gives it a nice balance, i have driven cars w/ the battery where the passengers feet woudl be but that was a track only car

[2LO4URHO]

What about in the spare tire well? sits lower in the trunk and right over the rear wheels right?

[idahotuner]

yea guys it is the .64 now. my batter weighs 15 pounds maximumso stock location is nice.cant wait for this baby to be done.

[idahotuner]

well my gauges were suppose to be here tday but the ups man didnt feel liek driving in to our house. becasue he ahd alot to deleive. so i wil lget the mon monday. it stinks casue i was going to install tem sunday.

yeah def get the .64, good choice

[idahotuner]

thank you. i will order mine at the end of this month. it will be alot of parts coming to my house 2nd week in jan. sweet ness

[White Comet]

u'll have urs before me then, im currently doing some fuel upgrades

[idahotuner]

the only fuel upgrades i have left are a new fuel filter and my injectors. but i am waiting to put my motor back in my car and i can put my injectors in my motor with it in my car. basically i am trying to get everything together so i can put my motor back in my car. so clutch flywheel. gauge sensors. turbo, turbo extension. and manifolds on. so i can put it in have it all bolted together. thne it will jsut be things like a radiator and intercooler + piping. stuff that can be put on easily with the motor in the car.

[White Comet]

sounds like a plan, when do u expect to have the motor in

[idahotuner]

i plan to ave the motor back in the car somewhere around the 2nd week in jan. becasue i have to wait to get paid at the end of the month and then wait for the parts to get here.

it is exciting though yahoo.

[White Comet]

sounds good, im awaiting a few more parts and focusing on some smaller projects atm

[idahotuner]

yea when i get the big stuff outta the way. then it will be the little things i will work on.

i started body work today.

took out the third brake light. and the spray nozzle for the rear window.

and i fixed the gas cap popper.

and i figure that i need new gas shocks for my rear hatch becasue when i lift the lever my hatch doesnt pop up. so i have to prop the lever up and then lift the hatch, instead of it just staying open.....

any other ideas on how to fix this problem.

today i sanded down the roof.and took out the seat belt ECU. getting ready to do the body work..

oh yea and we found some rust in the hatch where one of the spoiler holes was at. it isnt terrible so we can fix it.

[duffman1278]

Nice, good work man, get some pics soon. Fixed that boost leak btw car was idling today perfect but I couldn't rev up because I realized the MAF was disconnected ftl haha, but still gotta work on timing.

Btw, what color do you plan on painting it?

[idahotuner]

Black is the color of choice. or the lack of color of choice lol.

cant wait for the end of the month becasue that will mean new stuff to put on the car. yahoo.

i am shaving the washer o nthe roof. the rear wiper, antanea, and third brake light. it should look clean when it is done.
