Will i have to relocate my battery?

I just got a 2g maf to replace my 1g and i'm planning on putting in a new intake pipe. for all that to fit do i have to relocate my battery? and where do i get one of those battery boxes? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

having a 2g maf doesn't mean you need to relocate your battery. If you get a DSM style intake pipe, though, you will. You have a few options (relocating within engine bay, or placing battery in trunk). There are many battery boxes available. The cheap/common plastic one you see can be had at summit.

 

Awesome, thanks alot

 

You can also get the same style plastic case at walmart as well. That's where I picked mine up from and it was considerably cheaper than ordering from summit or the like.

 

Why are the prices so drastic.. some are like $20 and some $100

 

Oh hi. The more expensive versions are for track legality. They are meant to seal battery vapors in to be vented outside of the car via a tube that is usually included with the box. The Moroso box is a great example of this. I hope this helps in your future endeavors toward modifying your GVR4. Thank you for asking this question. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif That's great. I almost got banned from this section at one point too. If you're relocating your battery make sure you do it right. They are pricey but you can buy a kit from stm. It's super nice but like I said, pricey. Don't forget that you can relocate your battery under the hood too, and this will be cheaper all around. Contact gvr4zum because he makes nice trays for I think $35. The only downside is you will need a slightly smaller battery than stock.
