BATTERY RELOCATION AND CABLE ROUTING A. Disconnect and remove the battery from the vehicle. Raise the rear of the car and support it with jack-stands. B. Remove the rear seat bottom and jute pad. Remove the driver’s side scuff plate and kick panel. Remove the trunk liner, passenger’s side interior wheel well cover, plastic cover around the trunk latch and the rear trunk interior cover. C. Using a small razor knife make an opening in the factory wire harness grommet at the firewall. Use extra caution to not damage the factory wiring. D. Feed the supplied power cable through the hole in the grommet. The cable should be fed through long enough to meet the factory positive battery terminal. Route the power cable inside the car down along the doorsill underneath the vehicle’s carpeting. Route the cable along the back seat bottom cavity and behind the passenger’s side seat back. The cable should be routed along the interior wheel well sheet metal. Use the supplied adel clamps and wire ties to secure the cable as needed. (See Fig. 1.) NOTE:
It is imperative that the cable is carefully routed and secured. Sharp edges or moving parts can damage the cable insulation and lead to premature failure.
E. In the engine compartment, cut the metal battery terminal loops off of the positive and negative power terminals. Remove one ground strap screw from the upper radiator core support. Using the factory battery ground terminal screw, attach the factory ground cable to the ground location on the upper radiator core support. (See Fig. 2.) F. Remove the factory screw from the positive terminal and drill out the hole in the positive terminal with a 15/64" drill bit. Install a supplied lug end terminal onto the supplied power cable end that was previously routed into the engine compartment. Secure the two cable ends together with 1/4-20 bolt, nut and washers. Use heat shrink tubing to insulate any bare metal areas. G. Attach a supplied lug end terminal to the supplied negative cable. A good ground location can be achieved in the trunk by sanding the primer off from around a factory hole on the passenger’s side interior steel wheel well. Using the supplied 3/8 -16 bolt, nut and washers, secure the negative cable to this location. (See Fig. 3.)

BATTERY RELOCATION AND CABLE ROUTING, cont’d. H. Open the gas tank door and remove the three screws holding the filler neck using a 10mm socket. I. From beneath the vehicle, support the weight of the gas tank with a jack and remove the bolt securing the passenger’s side strap. Loosen the bolts securing the driver’s side strap to lower the tank enough to gain access to the underside trunk floor panel. NOTE:

The ideal amount of fuel in the tank is 1/4 tank or less. This allows for easier maneuverability of lowering the gas tank.
From within the trunk, trace out the supplied battery box bottom cover and mark its mounting hole locations. Temporarily reinstall the trunk interior wheel well cover and verify the location of the supplied battery box for proper fit. Mark any areas of the interior wheel well cover that will have to be trimmed to fit and two locations for the battery cable to travel through. Remove the cover from the vehicle and cut out the marked locations. (See Fig. 4.) Center punch the marked locations on the floorboard and drill mounting holes using a 25/ 64" drill bit. Use caution when drilling through the floorboard. Ensure the drill bit does not contact the fuel tank at any time. Drill holes for the battery cable location in the interior fabric panel covering the wheel well using a 39/64" drill bit. Using a razor knife, cut a small hole in the factory rubber boot in the passenger’s side of the trunk. Route the supplied clear hose through this opening. Attach the supplied 90° plastic breather fitting onto the side of the aluminum battery box. Reinstall the interior wheel well fabric cover, routing the battery cables through the holes previously drilled. Place the supplied battery box bottom and side enclosure onto the floorboard and mount using the supplied all-thread and supplied 3/8-16 nuts and washers. There should be about one inch of thread exposed beneath the nut and washer when lowering through the floorboard. From beneath the vehicle, secure the all-thread with the supplied 3/8-16 nuts and washers. Raise the gas tank up into factory location and secure using the factory bolts and straps. Reinstall the three screws securing the filler neck. Lower the battery into the supplied battery box. Install the supplied battery hold-down bracket. (See Fig. 5.) (It may be necessary to cut the

BATTERY RELOCATION AND CABLE ROUTING, cont’d. vertical tabs off of the hold-down bracket depending on your battery.) Secure the supplied battery hold-down bracket using 3/8-16 nuts and washers. Attach the clear hose end to the plastic 90° fitting mounted on the side of the battery box. (Refer back to Fig. 5.) P. Trim the power and ground cables to desired length, cut back the insulation and install the supplied battery end terminals. Use the supplied 1-1/2" heat shrink tubing to cover any bare metal surfaces on the cable/terminal connections. (See Fig. 6.) Q. Connect the supplied battery terminals to the battery. Install the supplied battery box lid and secure with the supplied washers and wing nuts. Using a hacksaw, cut the all-thread to where there is 3/4" of thread exposed above the wing nuts. (See Fig. 7.) R. Reinstall the trunk carpeting and interior trim pieces. From beneath the vehicle, secure the end of the clear hose away from the exhaust and any moving or sharp components.
