ive got a 200 20vt that i wouldnt feel bad about taking a sawzall to.

 

Oh I have the URS4 that is the donor for the motor already, I was planning on taking the battery terminal post and the battery cable as well, I was curious though if the battery box on it is something I could sawsall out and weld into mine, I haven't seen what the box would look like out of the car and it just seemed strange to me that I had never heard of anyone using one of these boxes, everyone seems who does it seems to source it from europe.

I realize most people just move the battery to the trunk area and get one of the Summit racing or similar batter containers....

 

i'd think that the nylon box kit from summit would be lighter, and easier overall to integrate, anyhow

however it would be lacking in the OEM department.

 

Dave, you can always fit your battery in the trunk. Either where that little box in the right corner is or right behind the tank....get a gel cell battery and no need for a box.

I know you'd like OEM look though and for that i guess S2 tray is the best....they aren't expensive or even terribly hard to make if you can weld..

My battery is right behind the tank, and simply tied down by an Alu bracket that's bolted to the trunk floor on both sides.

 

did you see what I did to mine? there is not alot of room to do much under the seat. this is about the only way it would fit with the stock undercarrage. you will just have to see mine for yourself to understand how and why.

 

Passenger side of a CQ, right. Did you have to reroute anything under the car like fuel lines?

 

no. that was the most clear area to put it.

 

pretty much in the area occupied by the resonator. unless you get all the subframe hardware and other junk the drivers side is a no go. besides, the fuel filter is already at home right there.

 

Very 8)

 

I have a true S2 box, that i could let go of, if one were interested. Let me know.

Peter- So if its a gel cell not box necessary? Pics of your battery setup? -TIA

 

 

dave, yours was the thread i read a few days ago that had a box, i couldnt remember. how big of a pain was it to do? i personally wanted to go under the rear seat. the trunk area already doesnt have enough room. i'll have to check it out in person...

micah expect a pm. thanks.

 

I would expect you will be looking at alot of things that I have done to the car. anything I can do to help.

You have a PM

 

Sayoda's (I think that is how his name is spelled) V8 coupe build has an S2 battery box, too. You might want to ask him what was done/how he did it.

 

Yup, I've got an S2 box.... it's on the driver side.

I do like the idea of the passenger side,

but that is where my muffler will be going 8)

 

Pics of my uninstalled S2 box:

 

Doesn't Toledo Joe have a big writeup about the S2 box over on AW? Seems like that would be a good place to start.

AW is ruined, some of the archived material survived, some did not.

I will probably just go with a rear mounted box for now, time is of the essence.
