You do realize how much power your starter needs. 6 gage will become very hot and could melt the plastic off the wire and short everything out. Do as Gabe and others have said go no smaller then 2 gage hell when im going to relocate my battery I will be using 0 gage wire!

Ok sounds like 2 gage it is i was just wondering if 2 6 gage wires hooked together would do it simply because they would be a lot easier to hide under the carpet

4 gauge is plenty. I have done it with 4 with no problems at all. Anything larger and you are going to have problems running it through the cabin etc also. No starting problems..... or fires.

the c27 is all ready to come out I just have to figure out how im going to get the centre console out to disconect the linkage to the trans as i cant move my seat to get to the screws.

All the wires and hoses are disconected and labled, the exhaust is off and the lower subframe. Oh and i still have to remove the cvs

Does anybody know if the turbo auto happens to be lsd. i expect not but thort i would ask

legendturbo · 02-17-08, 01:38 AM

Sorry I am not sure. Once you pull out the driveshafts it will be pretty clear.

*sam o nela* · 02-17-08, 02:40 AM

I dont think so...dont recall any G1s ever having it....not even JDMs

Cant really tell untill i get the motor in as i cant take it out of park to spin the driveshafts

legendturbo · 02-17-08, 11:23 PM

Take the shafts out and look down the hole. I don't know much about these transmissions but in toyota's you can see the lsd

Muffo · 02-18-08, 12:51 AM

Ok il have a look the only way i new how to do it was hold 1 and the other should only spin round a little way before it locks but cant do it in park

legendturbo · 02-18-08, 12:56 AM

You can put it in neutral by using the gear select cable and pulling it down 2 "clicks" to neutral from park. It is hard and you may need a screwdriver to help you pull it without the mechanical advantage the gear selector gives you.

Muffo · 02-18-08, 01:01 AM

i thort you would have to have the tcu connected

legendturbo · 02-18-08, 01:07 AM

I don't think so. I thought it is all mechanical but I am unsure as I left mine in neutral before I pulled the engine out.
