have u done the BIG 3?

Not yet because I havent located all the wires I need to upgrade yet, I mean its not that much room up under my hood to work and my battery is behind the front tire(aint that bout a b!tch)

Our 87 Porsche 944 has the battery located against the firewall, in the corner near the hood shocks. Not only is it there, but the positive terminal is against the firewall too!

Same thing with my 88 wrangler I had. Battery in same spot, positive against firewall.

What the hell are the manufacturers thinking?

See my battery is a side mount and the terminals are pointing towards the tires so I mean its kinda hard to put a lot of wires down there... so how might I do the big 3 on my car

do top post mount batteries (that is if you have enough clearance for the hood).

Hmm where there is a will, there is a way. My alternator is on the bottom of the engine.

but the battey goes like up under the car like behind the tire... Ion think I can do a top mount battery...

I can put the alt. in but how would I go about doing the big 3 wit the tight places I have to work with... like I have heard Ima have to do multiple runs of 0 gauge wire to the trunk but how could I do that wit the position of my battery

I don't see what your exact problem is. Is it getting to the battery terminals? If so, it is possible to get to them, your battery has been replaced before, I'm sure. Get your wire, go out to your car and plan how you are going to route the wires and what to zip tie them too. And then do it!

Okay now after I do the Big 3 then what else do you think I will need like how many batt's and what size alt. and would I need a cap, an isolator, batt relay, or what thats what Im trying to find out and then like how many runs of 0 gauge will I need
