Modify battery box for 3.5 intake
 

When I installed my BNR S3 and JBR tru 3.5" intake, I stuck my ECU to the fuse box cover. I didn't really like the look of it, and the intake was pushing on the stock battery box. I just recently purchased a used JBR battery box. My original battery is on its way out so I replaced it with a 51r yellowtop. I installed yesterday, but honestly didn't like the exposed look of it. The wires for the ECU were now touching the intake. It's a quality piece and most will probably like the quick/easy solution. Today after class I measured a few things out, test fit some stuff, hacked away at the OEM battery box, and came up with whats in the pics. The cuts on the side allow easy access/fitment to the harness clips. I want to make a front cover for it that will accommodate all the wires, but look a little cleaner. I will also probably fab up a new tie down piece that fits the 51r better. Battery doesn't move, but might as well make one. Some will not like this approach, but I like it better than the exposed look, its cheap, and it fits the 3.5 intake without anything touching. I thought about a Corksport box, but it will not accommodate the JBR 3.5 intake...

With a front cover i would deff do this as that was always my issue that i liked the clean look vs ecu on fuse cover.

I find this to be a good option to keep things looking as stock as possible. Post some pics when you get the front cover done.

I did the same thing a while back. Definitely much better looking that having the ECU on the fuse box IMO.

Exactly. Looks good. Neat to see how people do the same thing different ways.

Thanks for the ideas.
Going to do this when I install my 3.5in JBR intake.
