Big 3 Upgrade

[Supaduck]

So, I'm planning on doing the big three upgrade, that is, upgrade the stock wire to 0/1 gauge of three of the main electrical wires, alternator -> battery +, battery - to chassis, and engine block to chassis. I wouldn't mind making a DIY but i'm having trouble actually getting to the cable going from the battery to the alternator. it's quite a tight fit trying to get in there. any tips?

Yeah this would be nice cause ive actually never heard of this.

Its going to be tight getting in there unless you remove something like the Intake manifold or Bumper,Rad,A/C.

There was a good write up on this over on CRSX.com, if you want to poke around over there?

i think the diy you are talking about is http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread.php?t=476823. problem is. he completely skipped over getting to the alternator to battery positive. -_-

The battery to chassis part is easy. If you plan on replacing the other grounds.. Make sure you get some small ring terminals if you plan on re-using the factory ground locations. Those bolts are much smaller than 5/8 and it will be a pain otherwise.

I don't see the point in doing the "alternator to battery" one and would recommend taking a Careful look at where that alternator wire actually goes in the EP ;)

yah, alt wire goes to the fuse box and goes thru the ELD (is ELD right or did i switch it around) then back to the battery.

for the upgrade, from alternator to battery usually its alternator -> inline fuse (prolly 250-300) -> battery. and it still helps. plus i have a bunch of extra 0/1 gauge wire from previous installs and whatnot so yeah.
