[QUOTE="sweelt, post: 1064684506, member: 173749"] last 2 days, been DIY proton wira battery relocation. After replace very old stock intercooler piping, battery just wont fit nicely inside engine bay. Bonnet wont close perfectly. Need welding cable, prefer 99.99% copper. Get from hardware shop. + some ring terminals for connections. Antenna cable. Those orange color welding cable i checked, is copper plating. Orange color cable cost 7.50/meter. Those black cable cost me 25 bucks/meter. Fuhh... Failure the 1st time when drill tiny test hole at firewall. luckily no damage done. Steering out, dash meter taken out, just cant figure out how to run the cable. After googling, only found out driver side fender mud guard have cable entry. :rolleyes: Disconnect batter terminals, before start any work. Start with Negative then positive terminals. Dismantle driver side fender mud guard (daun pisang), instantly i can see the cables rubber grommet. https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/attachments/561803.vB https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/attachments/561804.vB Just make tiny cut at the rubber. To insert guide cable (antenna cable). Need some patient and tiny luck. Once the guide cable is through, everything will come easily. Need astro/antenna cable as a guide to pull through the welding cable. Joint welding cable and antenna cable core. Wrap tightly with electrical tape. Slowly pull. https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/attachments/561805.vB There's a big way for cable to engine bay. No worries. Run the cable until boot. Prepare ring terminals, clamp it tightly to welding cable. use electrical tape to cover expose clamp. Best, use heat shrink tube too. https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/attachments/561808.vB Last picture is grounding. https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/attachments/561809.vB Finally battery connection, connect positive terminals 1st. And then connect negative terminals, will see tiny sparks. Should be OK. Apa lagi, key in, ON, all light OK. Crank the engine. :biggrin: If nothing/blank when key in - ON. Sakit kepala....:banghead: I test drive, can see the battery indicate 13.5-13.9V all the time. Alternator is charging. Aircon full blast, car light on. Train ECU again...haizzzz Will test for few days. If all ok, will hide the cable nicely. Just my 3rd DIY for "car". Dont flame too much lah. :nurse: [/QUOTE]
