How did you do it (Taylor)? Can i use my current pipe? just turn and cut it?

 

DAMMIT! my computer is all fucked up sorry about the multiple posts.

 

taylor's old car had the battery relocated to the rear.

 

relocate battery and extend MAF wires

 

um, isn't it shorten MAF wires?

 

When I asked taylor he said lengthen but his harness was ran under the intake and hidden so it may be different for normal routing

 

Epstien, yea it is shorten. I'll be doing this promptly after work monday. I'll post pix of how it goes before and after.

 

i need to do it alos...i guess u notice the power kick in lower in the power band and a little more top end

 

Thought this might be helpful for anyone wanting todo this with an S14. I can't imagine it would be that much different for an S13, but I don't know for sure.

you get the idea.

and you dont have to shorten or extend the maf wires. why shorten when you can just tidy them up. and if you have to go back to stock or to a setup where the mafs will be back over near the stock position, you wont have to re-lengthen them again. make sure to use shielded wire if you do though.

 

Heres a pic of mine, I just did this last week, I just opened the stock wiring harness that runs in front to the timing chain cover and took the MAF and the temp wires to the other side, then re wraped them in electrical tape for that OEM look

 

nice did you feel a difference

 

that looks real custom and all but are there significant gains in doing so?

To tell you the truth I really didn't feel much of a difference, but I have a CEL for about 3 codes though?

 

so today im cutting up my intake and buying some new silicone couplers. I'm also getting about 4 or 5 feet of red 4 ga wire to put my battery on the drivers side. Should i solder the 4ga wires together, or do they make a HUGE BUTT connector? i'll post pix when im done. and tell you if i feel a difference. ( i know aircraft spec's are double crimping...i think i'll find a LARGE BUTT connector).

 

mine was louder and i felt it on top end. otherwise. nothing.

 

Why not move the battery to the back when you have the chance...unless you have reasons as to why you can't, I would suggest doing so now....it's not that hard of a job.

When I did my short ram relocation (using my Injen intake and cutting it up and flipping around) I just cut away the MAF wires from theat front loom (that runs across the front upper cover) and re-taped everything....looks clean as hell. I'll have to get some new pics here shortly...

yea i know its easy, i just have so many wires running through my hood for my gauges/amps/NO2/and switches and stuff...it would just be easier to do it this way. Thanks for the concern

Hahaha....no problem...was simply curious.

well Bill...there wasn't quite enough room on the drivers side...so im doin like i should, and putting the batter in the hatch...pix are comming as long as the rain stays away.
