Project Nissan Silvia: Part II
With our unique intercooler placement, the intercooler discharge hose ran into the stock battery. The stock battery is too heavy and mounted way too far forward anyway, so we replaced it with this tiny Odyssey PC680 battery. It's a scant 3 inches tall, and with this powdercoated aluminum bracket, weighs less than 15 pounds. That's about 17 pounds less than the stock-sized battery we had before. With a 16Ah total capacity and 220 cold cranking amps, it seems to be plenty of battery, even when we pulled it out of the box and did several seconds of cranking to get oil to the new turbo.
