Battery Upgrade (Optima)


Woggy

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

My next step in the process of a SQ/SPL car is the powerplant - - the Optima!

I was thinkin of goin either a D35, D75 or D34 Yellow Top in it.. but it will be very squeezy seeing the Optima is about 40mm longer and 50mm wider but shallower by 30mm from the posts.

My question is, has anyone done this before in a rolla? Even if it is a different battery make?

Pics would help too guys!

P.S. relocating the battery in the boot is NOT an option seeing Street A only allows 1 battery in the factory position.

save your time ... use normal rolla battery for starting and install a optima in the boot a dual battery setup.. and run the amps off that battery and starting of factory battery ... or the battery tray / clamps has to be modified under engine bay to fit it in

Here is a pic of what mine looks like...

Hope this helps...

It's bolted through the bottom to hold it in place and the rubber bands on top stop the battery from jumping up over bumps...

Dude! I love your engine bay. I would have enver thought of that colour for the cam covers. Nice work.
