Fast Intentions Stage 2 TT build by MA-Motorsports.

Spooler · 11-05-2020, 03:45 PM

Where are my scales, I got to weigh this chit.

Spooler · 11-05-2020, 05:59 PM

The numbers.

Factory battery= 33lbs.
AntiGravity battery with bluetooth tracker = 8lbs.

The Install:
Not too bad. Just have to move battery towards the cables to ensure it catches the hold down on the corner. I had to crimp my negative terminal connector to ensure a solid clamp on the terminal.

Man, this thing turns my car over crazy fast to start. With E85, that's a good thing. Especially when it get's cold. The Bluetooth tracker APP is cool as hell. No
more wondering where the charge is when the car sits for a little bit.

I need to hook up the CTEK battery tender cables. I will do that later. I can no longer use a regular battery charger.

Let me know how well you think the factory tie-down clamp holds it.. if I should make a billet one or if stock is plenty adequate. (PS Folks, we sent him the one in the GT-R form factor case, so its noticeably smaller in the front-to-back dimension from a Z battery)

I will shoot over some pictures later today via DM on Instagram.

Phunk, I had to move the battery all the way to the front so the tie down would hit the battery like the stock battery for it to hold. I barely got it to tighten down. I would make one that way I know it won't go anywhere.

Called one of my good friends to go for a ride. I could swear he chit himself.
LMAO!!! Depends from here on out are manditory.

Be careful with the material you use for the tie-down. I picked up one of those ZSpec billet aluminum battery tie downs a number of years ago and it was close enough to the battery terminals that it was significantly corroded within days.

This is a sealed battery. Not sure what kind of cheap battery you had. Did you buy it used off of Craigslist?

If we get them powder coated or anodized, I suspect that should resolve any concerns like that by removing conductivity from the surface.

I found it in the parking lot. Why do you ask?
