dual battery question (1 Viewer)

[roamingaz]

I am working on a dual battery set up for my '91, I just cant seem to find a good location for the second battery.
I was thinking of just putting one battery in back but havent found a good spot yet.
Any ideas and pics of your battery setup would be awesome.

I'm not sure if you are being serious or not but if you look closely you will see a spot in the engine bay at the L/H or R/H front corner thats designed just perfect for a 2nd battery.

Maybe to be more specific, if you have a '91, you can get the driver side battery tray and move a few things around and it'll bolt right up there. Wiring's up to you.

In my '95, I used the '91 tray that is on the passenger side and it worked beautifully. I had to move the washer bottle, not sure what needs to be relocated in the '91. Pretty sure it's well documented with a careful search though. Good luck.

On my '91 I have no room on the driver side for a battery.the main battery is on the pass. side but the other side has a fan blower something that is in the way . any idea what the purpose of this blower is ? it seems to blow air on the engine after I stop ?

That pipe on the DS of your engine bay looks an awful lot like an intake pipe... it even has the rolled end for the rubber flex hose that gets clamped there.

The blower is to keep the intake cool after shutdown. Don't remove it. Prevents vapor lock and fuel evaporation.

Another possible solution.
