CaptainWhoosh Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Took the car home on leave. 1200 miles each way. Cold A/C and a bumpin stereo, I was happy! Met up with my friend (the one I traded the Type R to) For those of you curious about my 1982 242 Turbo...build thread coming later in the year when I get back into this car. Made sure the turbos work on all the cars lol... I snapped a few pictures when doing the "Big Three" upgrade. I will post pictures of that soon. Im looking to upgrade the battery, can you guys please suggest a good drop-in upgrade? Im looking at the XS Power D4700 right now. Thoughts? Thanks for checking out my thread so far!

CaptainWhoosh Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 @dsw422 I dont remember if we welded the all thread or bolted it to a support behind there, its been quite a while (since I set the gains) since I've had the board off. Ill get you some pics this weekend. We don't do it for the glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom50cal Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Sweet! And jump on the XS battery! Awesome guys out there at XS, badass customer service and their batteries are no joke. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/187922-average-lifespan/ On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

Awesome guys out there at XS, badass customer service and their batteries are no joke. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/187922-average-lifespan/ The XS Power website recommended a D4700. That seems a bit much, but I honestly don't know. Thoughts? I emailed Singer to see about getting some more power in the near future. With a refreshed stock alternator and the big three upgrade the car is great, but Im looking into a second Kicker DX1000.1 to see how much these RE's can really take! We don't do it for the glory.

boom50cal Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Just drop whatever the factory equivalent is in. I LOVE my D4800/XP2000 combo. Pretty beefy and heavy, but they do engineer them for a 10 year life... On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.
