Replacing the battery with a smaller one to fit a custom intercooler pipe
Does anyone know where to get a smaller battery so I can fit a custom intercooler pipe? ( Besides the Buschur one)

you want the odyssey 680 MJ (make sure you get the MJ as it is Metal Jacketed to put up with high temps).
I just ordered one on ebay it was 95 bux shipped, cause I had to pay sales tax, the seller is in CA.

I have the BR upper pipe and all I did was buy a lawn tractor battery, put the cable ends over the terminals, clamp down and go. Battery cost me 19.99. The only thing you have to be careful of is not leaving lights on. Also, I live in FL so I don't have to worry about cold starts. It's not a solution for everyone, but it worked for me!

PC680MJT
Small 680 cranking amp battery with metal jacket and SAE automotive terminals.
Also available without the metal jacket for low temperature applications.
Battery measures 3.11" wide x 7.27" long x 6.67" tall with the metal jacket and weighs 15.4 pounds.
Excellent starting battery where high reserve capacity is not required.
Great lightweight racing battery for shedding extra pounds.
Can be mounted upright or flat.
680 Cold Cranking Amps should be fine. This battery isnt good if you leave your lights on though heheh.

I run an Odyessey PC925 in my car. Pics are in this thread:

Some guys run a smaller version of that battery as well. But I wanted something that would start the car every time, even in cold weather.

I think the battery was ~100-120 dollars. The bracket was made the same time a bunch of other stuff was made (exhaust, IC pipes, etc) so I don't remember how much the battery tray itself cost. It'll depend on your fab shop I guess. My shop, L&R Racing, will likely not be producing the battery trays as mine was a one off they did.
