That's what you will have to do as there is no extra firewall holes to run heavy power cables through it.

On the s13, you can drill a hole below and a little to the passenger side of the brake booster. This location allows you to run the wire from the hole, under the fuse panel cover (kick panel), and under the carpet when you remove the door sill. Remember to run the cables inboard of the seatbelt bracket, and under everything possible for the cleanest line. I have 2 4-0ga. cables for my power, and you can't see anything.

ive run up to a 4 gauge without drilling but it was a *****. anything up to 8 gauge shouldnt be a problem at all. if you are using 0, 2 or 4ga you should probably drill.
