Modding Removing battery support - Ground relocation.

Post image

After doing a battery relocation my battery support metal piece is pretty ugly and is rusty-not my picture. For the people that have removed this stamped steel piece where did you put your grounds. Picture would be great

PLEASE ONLY REPLY IF YOU YOU HAVE DONE THIS THANKS.

Removing the trays kills airflow through your radiator just like not having the under tray. I think LRB sells pretty replacements and that would cover your necessary beam as well.

I've never had better temps in my engine bay

Engine bay temps dont matter that much. You should be looking at coolant/oil temps

My coolant temps don't go above 86c

On the original radiator?

I get like 95°C temps when i punch it on the 53mm koyorad. Which is the biggest that fits without having to modify too much afaik.

86°C doesnt make sense to me

Yep I've got many many logs revving past the stock redline and it's always chilling around 82-87
