I feel like you didnt read it or I worded it improperly. I said I replaced 18AH battery with typical actually a Group "35" size 525~CCA style lead acid unit already.
Also 18AH did just fine for a year, no issues yet. It cranked the engine ran it fine even had a higher/better charge charging 13.5v instead of 12.8v I charge at now with the battery relocated (and fuse box relocated. There are two relocations here to make room in the engine bay for turbocharger)
Only reason I took it (18AH) out was because I was trying to do a 'proper' relocation to the trunk using large battery.
The 18AH was so small it almost fit in the front but eventually a corner melted on turbine flange and I said thats enough and replaced it. If it didn't melt I would probably be still using it.
here are the terminal, I get alot more response for this than imagined so I think less words at this point and more pics would be useful to save time
Ill try to find and post more relevant pics... lets see
the big ground that goes to the other side of chassis
dare you to say 'done wrong' here
That is separate 60 amp relay for fuel pump, and feeds the computer directly from battery, separately from large starter power wire which starter inductor kinda owns
I think capacitor in the front next to the starter will do it but I am not crazy about having more than a couple farads available for very long, so I think I want to over-charge something (16volts) with less capacity temporarily as opposed to simply have a large reservoir. It seems like an accidental discharge waiting to happen.
Need a couple days now to work on the solenoid current first. Its a 240sx btw and very common ignition switch issues etc... so I am step by step replacing every single wire and upgrading every single component, especially known weaknesses. Like power brace for the chassis, indestructible door panels, special coated oem-shape fuel tanks, hmm this car doesn't have many thats why I picked it lol
