ramonortiz55's dual battery setup adventure and experimentation thread..

It might be a better spot for the emissions pump.

 

or i could just delete the pump lol.

where im at, we dont get tested over emissions.

 

I guess you like dirty air and water too don't you care about your children's future

 

So I finally got a reply from KN filter.

The brackets to relocate the pump are $40 shipped.

Holy smokes!

I went ahead and took one for the team.

I will post these when I receive them in case anyone wants to make their own.

 

Mine only cost an hour of my time.

 

wellll.. i Make more than $40 an hour.. therefore .. it's considered a good deal if it's only an hour of time

 

Well if you make good money you should start paying 10% of the bill for all the group buys you start

 

Cant believe I missed all this going on, I've been wanting a second battery in the location for a while. What size battery is the mount made for? will a 31m fit. Could the top bracket be made for a spod vs bussman.

keep up the good work!

 

It fits an Optima 27. I tried to get a 31 to fit but the posts end up hitting the hood. It's better than the 34s that are more common in dual swaps.

I don't have any that fit the sPOD but it could probably me modified to work. I don't know how big one of those is, but space is tight.

Let me know if they are interested! They will never be this cheap again.

Looks like they came in:

 

Does anyone have the national luna battery isolator?

If so, can I get an idea of the dimensions on that bolt hole pattern?

 

I am also interested in Iggy set up we were In contact for a little while but haven't heard anything so I an subbing to this can't wait to see what you make of this because I am going to need this haha

 

National Luna dual battery group buy?

 

So I finally relocated my smog pump using the brackets provided by K&N..



I figured that if I relocated the smog pump, I had to elongate the wiring.

Which side should I elongate? the end female end or the male end at the pump?



the female end had weird wire colors:



The male end at the smog pump had simple colors: red, black and two small white wires.. easy wire colors to buy at NAPA:



Here goes the surgery:



Soldering and shrink tubing:



Finished product:



Then I decided to plug it in and make sure it worked:



Once operation was confirmed, I removed the cover:



Installed the k&N brackets:



Set the smog pump at its new location:



Installed the cover back on:



Routed extended wiring behind the windshield wiper fluid reservoir:



Plugged over the air box tube:



Trimmed the hose that connects to the smog pump:



Final pictures:





Does not stick above engine bay compartment:

 

before I install the battery tray, I just need to relocate one more thing:

 

Well done, Ramon. Well done!
