plus the piece of metal used as the extension, which was probably custom to fit the piping of the CP-E., so it had to be expensive too.

Think about it this way. the battery is 100$, the box is what 100-200$ , 0 gauge wire ( on ebay is 3$ per foot) i don't know how much wire sebas used, i would guess over 40 ft so thats 120$ , then the terminals 50$ and this misc parts.. This is what Im guess the cost comes out to be .. Sebas might have spent more or less on parts i don't know

haha this thread is becoming funny !

refering to my own notes...I spend around 500$

Battery 200$
Box and wire and everything 110$ (not that much)
Kill switch (250A) 50$
Extension pipe and elbow around 50$
Shipping,customs and taxes for everything around 100$

Id buy a catback exhaust before I would mess around with all of this, but if a CAI is something youre really looking for then i guess it could be worth it.

you gus are lookin way to far into this.

obviously i am gonna make a bracket for the fuse box and cruise contol box. the turbo will be where the battery was
this is my setup so far.
i cut a whole in the side for the intake to go through. its 3" in by the way. thats why i had to do some cutting. i relocated the battery for my upcoming turbo project. got 2 gauge wire. 15 ft for 40 $ . went to the ricer shop down the street where he gave me some scrap intake tubing for 20$. the hardest part was cutting it to make it fit. got a marine battery box from napa for 20$.
costed about 100$ and an hour of time. if you guys are to lazy to do it i would be happy to make some extensions and sell the for a descent price for my labor. lol. i can make any size extension you need

You do not need to relocate the battery to do the CAE. I did relocate my battery but for other reasons. See my sight for pics of both setups.

I still wonder how you could pass the 3" or 3.5" (CP-e) pipe to do your CAI with the battery in place !!!

CPE, extension & battery relocation?

intake

yep

Who is online
