Battery in the trunk. Help needed.

[arjunior45]

I must relocate the battery and I like serge?s location. See picture.

- Can someone help me with the wire?s run from cockpit to the engine bay? Is there any hole that I could use? Can someone post a picture?
And
- Where does the wire from the battery goes to? Can someone post a picture too?
I found this to an old topic { http://forum.berlinasportivo.org/showthread.php?t=537&highlight=battery }:
?To original connector with plastic box, which have 150 A fuse inside. Actually I have also fuse in the battery side too. You can´t never been too sure?.

With the oem set up there are 2 {two} + wires connected to the battery ? as far as I can see. Where do they go?

This is my car! :D

You simply run a suitable cable from the starter motor, to the trunk.
I used the path shown on the picture below.
There are quite big holes on the spots marked with black circles.
You only need to get one cable from the bonnet to the trunk (the postive one). The you need to connect negative terminal of the battery to a bigger screw oin the trunk, with good contact to the body.
Thats all.

I used the driver's side, but that does not make much difference
But my choice for a place for battery is straight over the rear axle (if you don't care of the practicality of a trunk space).
Few pictures attached:

i use the driver side
i use 4 cable 10 mm each
i conect the 2 behind the fuse box to the place that the oem comes
and the other 2 to the starter cable and i live the oem conected to the fuse box and the starter cable like a bridge

there is a rubber near to the stearing coloum that you can use foe pass the cables to the engine bay from the back is more easy as you can pass them down from seats there is curve to the plastic

Thanks guys. I hope to short it out before the stick coils arrive.

[na15575]

what is the stick coils Nick?

[arjunior45]

stick coil = ignition coils on the plug - see attachment.
I need to find the place to locate the 4 ignition modules and I can not see any other place to have them together than the one where originally the battery is - see this one : http://forum.berlinasportivo.org/showthread.php?t=1401

[na15575]

i wwant those too
yes i want them hard :cry: :cry:

[arjunior45]

It's not that difficult to find. It's the Bosch 0221 504 006 765 and they are mounted on every 5-cylinder FIAT engine {N/A and Turbo}.
I bought 5 of them, so I can have one as spare part {just in case}.
Still did not move the battery and the coils arrived already. I'll have them in my hands tomorrow and I hope to move the battery asap. Next month maybe?

[na15575]

please make the mod you first and see it to run
because you know what you do
and let me make it after the "How to" that you are going to post :smile:

[jimnielsen]

yep - I am looking forwards to the "how to" too :)

[arjunior45]

Sorry guys, I thought I've already post the 'How to' in the other topic. But I have not.

I'll post a wiring diagram later {in the other topic} for whom might in a hurry. It will take a while to me. But, it's a proved mod and it works better than other aftermarket solutions - which by the way cost a lot more.

PS.
Although they told me yesterday that the coils were arrived at the local post office, they were not able to find them this morning. Hope to find them tomorrow - if an employ did not still them. Need to check if these stick coils fit properly.
