turning the battery sideways
#6
i dont mean on its side. i mean instead of running perpendicular to the engine make it run parallel to the engine or firewall. similar to the way it is laid out in the altimas. for example take a look at the pictures on the berk tech. site on how the intakes are laid out for the 04-05 maximas.

Oh I see, I was hoping you would say for air intake purposes! Haven't seen anyone do exactly that except for Puppetmaster which it looks like air may make it to his filter better than with a stock battery in the way! Good luck with making a custom air intake!

Man, this place is like a f'n soap opera around here sometimes, with all the smarta$$ responses!!
.........You'd think we'd actually be above the gd women when it comes to nit-picking each other.....
Anyways,
Nissanx, sorry for all the asssumptions and lack of answering your question.....
I havent tried it on mine, but I have also thought about this idea when I put my custom intake together.....
I wonder if theres a way we could remount the battery on the other side of the fender well (passenger side) and just extend the lines?
Oh yeah, a Dry Cell battery wouldnt be a bad idea either...

i think i have seen some one run an odessy the way you are looking to do and running a real CAI through the hole under the battery and going behide hte bumper instead of into the fender like the Place Racing CAI.
however i don't who did it.

With all the sandy vaginas around here, I am pretty sure most on the org are women.

Anyway... I guess you could move it, but I would try for the PRCAI style if you are going to go custom (in the fender).

just an update. i will do a write up on what i plan on doing once i deciede what i am going to do. i will also include pictures. Unfortunately where i live putting a real cai is a no go with the rain and standing water on the streets not to mention the heat and humidity wouldnt make any difference in the air temp going into the intake. most of the people i know around my city run short ram intakes and find it to be no different then a CAI.

2. when you are sitting still in particular, the air temperature outside teh car (like where the PR CAI filter sits) is much cooler than the temps under the hood (like where the short ram or Injen filters sit). This has been measured using remote thermometers, though i forget who did it.
When moving at higher speeds, the temperature differences still exist, but are not as great.

I think that it will end up being a bit more complicated than simply changing the position of the battery. You would need to change the entire battery tray configuration which seems like a lot more work than it'd really be worth. Just do a battery relocation and move it to the trunk, then you have all the room you'd need.

And just so you know, different cars react differently to mods......what you did on your Cavalier or Civic doesn't mean a thing in here.....but I guess you already know everything, so good luck in your modding.
Oh, by the way - it is not possible to mount the battery sideways without some fabrication or improvisation. I've tried (when I installed my hybrid PR CAI) and could not secure it adequately for my liking, even with some custom mounts made.

If you knew anything about the Max, you would know that they react different to different intakes.
Thats why people are telling you not to bother with what you are doing. Besides, if the type of intake does not matter... Why are you making a custom intake? Why not use the standard Berk?

well this is how i see it. the injen cai intake for my maxima was the worst piece of crap of have ever bought. lost all my low end and didnt get anything up top, if anything i lost power there too. i made my own short ram and bam, got all my low end power back, more then stock, and basically more powerthrough the rest of the rpm range till redline.
i like that battery idea but couldnt you also make some sort of duct up to your intake pipe? i was thinking about doing that since i have alot of materials to make something like that. maybe a little scoop below and some aluminum ducting to the intake pipe. hmm
