Quoting EMX5636:
That is a nice clean setup Ed. Looks really good!
Thanks!! I just wanted something that would allow the use of a DSM style intake, and wouldn't require running new leads or grounds. It seems to work pretty well for me.
As for the longevity issue with Odyssey batteries:
I just unplug the battery if the car is going to sit for awhile. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
This is the third one in my car since I relocated the intake and battery. Yes, they are kind of expensive and I hated replacing every one.
First one I cooked was my fault completely. I was on a date and left the headlights on for a few hours. Push started the car (in the rain) and got her, and my car home. Battery held a charge afterwards, but slowly got worse and it got replaced.
Second one was from when the car got painted. The body shop guys liked to leave my doors open with the battery hooked up while they had the car apart doing body work. Got the car back, and the same story as before. Held a charge, but slowly started to die off as time went on.
Third one is still going strong after 3 years. I understand it doesn't have the capacity, or the robustness of a factory battery so I treat it as such. If the car is going to sit for more than a week, I disconnect it and let it sit. Still starts every time and I haven't had to throw it on the charger yet.
I also avoid leaving it in body shops and going on dates while its raining, so that seems to help too.
