I'm moving my battery to the other side of the engine and I have to lengthen the cables. Could I double-up 10 gauge wire, and use that to lengthen it? Thanks.

 

Bump.

 

when you say "cables"....

you mean the accessory/electronic leads... and not the heavy starting cables right ?

 

no you must get heavy cables like 4 gauge, to run your starter properly.

 

ya, I did the same for my tacoma-- but it was 2 guage and i used a copper pipe to connect the two wires together and put some neoprene shrink wrap around it-- I suppose you could just get like 6' of car audio 2 guage and some connectors and that should do it.

GO to the welding supply shop for your wire, Car audio wire is WAAYYY marked up.

I got 2 gauge for less than a 1.00 a foot yesterday. (I think I could have done better If I had shopped around other welding shops).

 

... and the welding shop can crimp on the lug for the starter / ground end.

 

I got really long 2 GA starter cable from walmart. I think the longest I saw was 8 feet, with the ends already on there.

 

are you moving the battery to the other end so u can reroute the intake?

has anyone else done this?

ever since i saw the write up on how to make more power (the one from mark) ive wanted to do it

 

you got a link to this?

 

I'm probally gonna do the swap this weekend, anyone have any info to help me along? I could probally do a write up on it too, if i can find my camera.

yeah please do a write up on it, im thinking about doing the same thing.

 

oh, I didn't realize you were talking about the older engines. thanks anyway though for the link.

 

were you thinking about doing this switch too?

 

I did it a few weeks ago. It was really easy. Just went to Advanced Auto and bought two 60" battery cables. Didn't even have to cut my battery cables, Just bolted them right in. Here's some pictures.

 

if it meant more power or whatever I would, but with my 3rd gen I don't think it would do that much. I already installed new, longer 2GA starter and ground cables.

 

hey how did u lengthen this wire? sry the pics kinda small, i think its the maf
