Read around a few forums, This battery was recommended from a guy who cut a hole in the S13 battery tray for intercooler piping. It is 12V 40ah 330 CCA. Has this battery got enough Grunt for a DET and what would be recommended.
Length: 187 mm Width: 127 mm Height: 227 mm 054 Battery  This is the MX5 Battery I found, It is 12V 45ah 350 CCA Length: 234 mm Width: 128 mm Height: 220 mm 048 Battery  Also some batteries quote CCA with (SAE) what is this  ???And some are GEL and others ACID,,, Whats the Difference ???This is becoming a minefield LOL  .

Found a small race battery on eBay with this spec:
PERFORMANCE @ 25°C: Voltage - 12v Capacity - 20Ah Cranking current* - approx 680Amps(5 secs) Will this be ok for the DET? Pricing the wire up etc to put it in the boot is a fortune, unless someone knows anywhere cheap for this kind of stuff

That 054 will be fine, dimensions sound like around and about the right size aswell.
As for the spec of the one above that should be fine although 20Ah Capacity is rather small. Although shouldn't make too much difference so long as you don't sit in "Maccy D's" of a night time with your "tunes" blaring :P Out of interest how much is the battery off of Ebay? (If you can put that on here without getting crucified!)

Ok finally got my arse into gear on this and ordered a positive battery cable from a BMW E39, as the battery in them sits in the boot.
420cm long, delivered for £43. A lot cheaper than buying a race battery and cheaper than buying the cable and parts new. Just need a cheap battery box now Last edited by paulsilv; 31-10-2011 at 22:15.
