Has anyone fitted a D31?

[Nic92]

Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has fitted a Optima D31 or any other battery that is capable of more than 55a/h to there engine bay in the LS1 models?

I've seen it done in the ecotec's. I kinda like the idea of dual battery where the air box is but that would require a OTR.

Thanks

Just put it in your boot...oh wait!

The boot is out of the question, I have re located the battery to fit a bigger amp in there.

get an OTRCAI and fit the second battery where the current airbox is located.

That is a future plan. Probably do it sometime in 2014.

ah yer, I see you thought of that already. That'll teach me to skim read!

Reckon there won't be enough room to fit a bigger battery. It's pretty tight with all that V8 in there

my v8 has one of them ramjet air intakes so no air box, works good, looks good, an leaves tons of room for 2nd batt, think they are pretty cheap, might be worth a look

Got a pictured of it?

there aint really much to see, it goes down the front of the radiator to a massive forward facing k&n filter

kinda hard to judge the depth in the pic but there is a ton of room for a second batt there, i just havnt got round to buildin a mount for one

If I was going to do that, I might as well do OTR...
