2011 civic si electrical upgrades

[8thGenSI 10+ year member]

Hello everyone,

I am going to be running an ED Nine.5 in my 2011 civic si and wanted to know what you guys thought about electrical upgrades. I have my big 3 almost done (0 gauge) the stock wire under the hood was a joke (looks like 8 gauge). I ran 1 run of 0 gauge to the trunk already. Stock battery, stock 110 amp alternator. I don’t know how efficient the nine.5 is, don’t know if it is class a/b or d, couldn’t find anything on website. Does anyone thing an alternator upgrade or battery upgrade is needed? I have heard stock electrical on these cars is weak, the stock wire from alternator and ground is a testament to that. I’m not exactly running big power here but figured I would see what you guys thought.

Thanks

Not only a new AGM battery but an ELD bypass.

Awesome, getting somewhere. Where is a good place to get a ELD? any ideas on what Specific unit I should use?

I never threw any codes when using my nine.1 and nine.4. was running the nine.1 full tilt.

You won't throw a code. The ELD is supposed to turn off the alt. with a high power system you don't want that.
