Same here on the shipping, i will probably go with an Optima yellow.

Any installed pics of this? In the process of mine and the ECU wiring harness is a mess. Removed the wiring support bracket and the wires still dont want to get into place cleanly. Even removed some of the electrical tape and its still messy. Just wondering what others did. If I need to remove more tape and take it all the way back (including removing the white plastic wire protector)???

I read here that people have removed the white plastic part and had more slack to move the ECU around. Let me look around to see if i find the post.

Found the thread. Post # 356 http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/foru...ml#post1497393

Removing the white plastic protector and separating the power and ground battery wires and then re-taping with electrical tape is the cleanest way to do it. You can even put some extra wire loom where the white plastic piece goes to clean the look up even more.

Be sure to mount the tray with all 3 mounting points. Install instructions will be emailed and be available on our website.

All installed, and honestly its a great kit. Really well made and fitment is perfect. Had no issues with bolt holes not lining up or anything like that. Couple tips to help:

1) Install the tray and then the ECU. There is tons of room, thanks to the slimmer battery :), to install and bolt up the ECU after the tray is installed. One of the tray bolts is under the ECU and installing it is only really possible with the ECU not there (learnt that the long way). Also you will see how the white washer should be installed without losing them, as you have to hold one of the washers as you push the bolt through. If you do this out of the car, and then ever remove the ECU, all washers get lost unless you put them in the correct way (as they would fall into the tray).

2) I would definitly do what HTP suggest and remove all the electrical tape, white plastic etc, and then re-tape it up. I have yet to do this (no tape) but I will this weekend. It will just make the fitment of the ECU connector cleaner as they are taped tight.


Are the white plastic washers necessary? If so, I will need some more :) When I removed the ECU to install 3rd tray bolt, washer fell somewhere.

End result looks great, loads more room, and ECU is sitting nicely. I did this all without instructions in about an hour.

Question... The 51r batteries arnt like the small Brails where if you dont start them every day they loose charge are they? Reason I ask is because I only drive my car on the weekends and want to make sure the car starts when I want it to.

A standard replacement 51R will function just like the OEM battery. The 51R battery is an OEM battery for some Hondas.

Definitely install the tray before the ECU. The white nylon washer and isolator are for those concerned with their ECU being grounded to the tray. We have had no issues with running the ECU without the isolators. We will send you out more nylon washers tomorrow.

Tip:
Snapping the flanged isolator on the outside of the tray is the easiest way to do it. They will stay put unless you have the polished tray in which it will be helpful to spray them with an adhesive or a tiny dab of silicone. Center the flat nylon washer on the inside and stick the allen bolt through and secure the ECU to the tray.

Matt

Thanks for the info man, ill be installing mine soon.

You can try unplugging the battery when not in use or getting a battery tender for it.

Just picked up an Optima yellow top to install in it.

Directions from HTP look pretty straight forward

Sent telepathetically to my Razr Maxx

I put mine in yesterday. looks great and I have tons of room now. really a great kit overall.

I could be wrong, but you may need the room this kit provides to get a 3" intake to fit properly (@ the very least it is going to rub the ecu).

Yeah, thats kinda what I was getting at. I don't want to just have the ECU laying somewhere and thats the only drawback I can see on upgrading the intake to the JBR.

It will be worth it. HTP's customer service is on point, and their products are oem quality.

Better than oem IMO

anyone have this with the JBR 3.5" intake? the intake is right up against one of the ecu connectors, afraid I'll have to move the ecu from the side of the batt tray. It looked so good :(

Hey Philip,

Can you post a couple of pics of the JBR "wide path" intake to show what's hitting? Even at 3.5 inches, there should be no issues with anything rubbing. For intakes that may wandering off the "path" though, I think we've got a simple solution for you which will make relocating the ECU from the battery tray unnecessary. If you could post some pics that would be great. Thanks!

Katie

Sure I will post pics when I get a chance. My seup is slightly different than most though, a 3071 with the 2.75" inlet mounted in the stock location.

heres some pics gt3071 like @802MS3 but my inlet is the regular 4'' , I have the @jbarone 3.5 intake love it, I have the @HTP tray and love it. Using both in conjunction with one another I had to relocate my ecu since the farthest ecu connector ( the one that would end up on the bottom circled red) would not allow me to connect the harness to the ecu. In another picture circled in red you will notice black electrical tape (on intake). Thats when the ecu was mounted to the tray, it had a tight fit and was compressing both the battery tray and against intake but it was on (ecu wire harness still not on).

A possible fix or revision if htp so chooses to can be seen in this next picture. There is about .75-1 inch of room on the side away from the ecu ( depending on how much you can push the fuse box harness down/ out of the way). Doing this would just mean the bolt holes on the tray would need slight relocation, doesnt look like much else would need changing.

Why the groan @jbarone don't need to ba a dick.

Lol brownie's calling out vendors

:saeek:

On the Gen 1 there is a wire harness that runs between the strut tower and the battery tray not allowing it to be moved over any further. The Gen 2's don't have that harness there so there is room to move the tray over but we opted for a part that fit both cars.

Can someone see if moving the ecu towards the brake booster to the rear holes on the tray will work? If so then ill start putting two extra holes for those that need to push the ECU back.

Thanks
Matt

from what I remember the ecu wiring harness would not extend but il check after work. I thought about making extra holes ( in a lower triangle fashion) and mounting the ecu diagonally, but got too lazy and went to town with zip ties and rubber grommets!

@jbarone always has a problem if someone mentions anything to do with a product he makes and it isnt complete praise.

Fuck you jbarone, and fuck your shitty camber kits, funky odd feeling shift knobs and useless egr block off kits...and your mom.

About time someone else agrees with me

Galaxy SIII

Kids.....the tray is nice....but slow down before you start gagging ..

Nut swinger just hopped on-board.

I like Htp.....

@HTP come on with that speed 6 tray I want a reason to replace my Cpe tip with one of yours but I refuse to buy a metal tip without a small battery.

This is partial my fault. I was supposed to let him use my wife's car for spec. Some things fell though and I was no able to drop it off to him for the day. Hopefully I will be able to get over there soon to assist him.

sorry Will

No biggie I still wuv you I just hope @HTP doesn't mind me thrashing on some of their parts when they hook a nigga up.....

This might be an option for a battery if you are looking for a AGM

D5100 | XS Power | Real Power, Unreal Performance

can be had for ~250 via the web.
says 750CA cant find a CCA rating for it. but i would think with a CA that high the CCA should be enough at least in my area

@greenespeed MS6 battery tray is designed, hopefully we will have a six in the shop next week to finalize mounting.

Matt

So I should ask for Matt when this releases and I call

Figured I would post a pic of my weekend install. HTP tray and ECU relocation.

Just curious, any reason you didn't use the mounting on the battery tray for the ECU?

Thanks
Matt

I would have but I wanted to mount the ECU in front so I could have a large open surface to mount my meth tank. I already have the mount fabbed up to mount to the tank and then it will use your stock holes and hardware to mount it where the ECU should go. If it wasn't for that, it would have been super easy to use your supplied parts and mount location to bolt the ECU to the outside of the box.

I relocated my battery because couldnt fit my optima in the stock tray (too small in all dimensions and i didnt care to get a new one that fit. Fuck mazda for using odd sizes)
I don't particularly like having my battery relocated. I'd rather have it up front. I have just enough room for a tiny battery, and I dont need much else other than that since I don't have a big car stereo or anything...

Waiting to hear about MS6 trays! :)

Totally understand. Thanks for the quick reply!

BTW, we will be releasing direct bolt in MS3 Meth tanks within the next 2 weeks. Just in time for the cooler weather! lol


Matt

Very good to hear! Keep me posted and most likely put me on the pre-order list. LOL.
Thank you for the wonderful product.

Dammit haha I already have your 3" Tip and love it, saw this thread and instantly went and bought the battery tray and thought to myself "Man, HTP makes some bad ass stuff for crazy prices... im pretty much going to have to buy anything they let out." Now i see this ^^ haha you guys are killing me!

Update:

All battery trays produced/shipped after 8/14/12 have an extra set of holes to push the ECU back if needed for your setup. Very few people will need this but we wanted our product to be as compatible with other manufacturers products as possible.

Thanks
Matt

2 weeks!!??!! WTF!!??!! :spankme:

I see what you did there ^^^^^^

So just move all 4 bolt holes back towards firewall? What distance and I will just make the holes myself as I got an early one.

The rear bolt holes will now be the front bolt holes on the ECU. Simply bolt your ECU to the tray using those 2 holes then mark and drill the rear holes using a 5/16" drill bit. The 5/16" drill bit is slightly larger than the holes on the ECU to allow use of the isolators. I will have Katie post up some pics tomorrow.

Did your ECU have interference with anything?

Matt

No interference with the CPE inlet, but I hope to be moving to a larger inlet shortly. Im loving the new battery tray!

Are you going to play where's Waldo with those pics too?

Thanks to @burn813 I now have a MS6 in my possession. MS6 battery trays will be available before the weeks end.

Matt

Lol.... My wife said you better be gentle with her damn car! Lol glad I could help ya Matt!

Hey Matt @HTP are you going to text me those pics?

Can a nigga get a pm or mention when they are ready

Soooo, a JO party with a bunch of homeless dudes in her car is outta the question???

I sure will text you pics of the JO party! :-)

PM sent for 2 trays plus other things to be considered for a CDN GB. Thanks.

Dick

Absolutely!

Thanks
Matt

E-mail sent! Thanks so much!

Katie

MS6 Battery trays for the group 51R battery are complete and being coated. These will be available and shipping the first of next week. We will be offering an introductory price for a limited time. Details and pics will be posted in a new thread later today. @Captain KR look for a pm.

Thanks
Matt

ordered - thanks for the service!

jbr wp on order as well

@HTP
Can you write down the dimensions of the 51r battery in metric values? We dont have here any batteries wich are called "51R". So i have to find a battery that fits.

Just curious if there is an update to the meth tank?

Measurements in mm:
51R
Length - 238
Width - 129
Height - 223 (to top of terminals)

Matt


Should be by the end of this week. We got a little behind on production of new product because of new hire training. We soon will be cranking out some wicked new products.

Matt

If the same batteries where you are used, the 1998-2000 Acura Integra uses a 51R, so if you look @ your local auto parts store for a replacement battery, you will find what it is named.

I asked because i live in german:)
We dont have batteries called 51r

I will look for a Honda Integra battery. Yes, in Germany its honda not acura:D

FYGHN!!

I have the money in hand my friend! Bring it on!:stickp4:

@HTP just received my battery tray!!!!! talk about fast shipping :burnout: (took a week to get to me in Australia)

install to happen once I receive my trilogy mounts from JBR

@HTP can we get an idea where this mysterious meth tank will be located? And do we have finish options as with the rest of your fine products?

Any new updates @HTP?

Will be test fitting my 4" intake with this battery tray this weekend. Measured and it should fit, but fingers crossed haha.

promised pic, take your BT to BOSS status with @HTP's battery tray. Unfortunately my new intake means i had to take off my HTP 3" inlet which was a beautiful piece though :(

http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/...ps08c1e42c.jpg

Here's my Battery tray with the ebcs attached to it and a JBR WP intake.

A pic of mine installed in case others were curious about ECU location options.

Here's mine... SURE 3" MAF + HTP 3" TIP. Grimmspeed EBCS mounted, too.

http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/foru...1&d=1348242892

I've been thinking about getting this battery tray but I don't want to just replace a good working stock battery. To those who bought the tray, what did you do with the old battery?

I keep mine in my garage and check the voltage every now and then.

I hook it up to a charger if it needs it.

Not really sure what else to do with it atm.

Trust me though. The extra room this tray gives you is worth replacing a good battery.

Tapa

Did your battery box have holes drilled in the front to mount the GS EBCS or did you drill the holes yourself?

The holes are pre-drilled by HTP.




(That's what she said.)

my tray didn't have holes pre-drilled in the front.

Odd. I ordered mine on the day it was released and it had the holes drilled. They even mentioned it in a post back on page 3.

That is why I am asking. I got mine for christmas and didn't think of it until I installed the tray and didn't have a spot for my GS.

We originally had the extra holes for the GS EBCS, but after seeing a potential rubbing issue with the positive battery cable, we eliminated the mounting holes.

Matt

I assume the little batteries can not handle a system? Even the optima yellow top?

^ I'll let you know. The MS6 is not my DD so I will drive it one day, leave for 2 days, drive, leave for 3 days, etc, until the battery fails. :D

Mine does.

But my system only consists of a Rockford Fosgate Punch 10 P2 and a 200 watt RMS amp.

Depends on how little of a battery. And the type of battery. But, I'm running an XS Power D5100. It is sold as being a group 51 class battery, but, "a honey boo-boo" oversized (as Matt put it). Thus Matt made me a custom tray.

As far as a system, I'm running three amps, two Alpine PDX amps, and a JL Audio sub amp. Don't have any power problems. I also have a 5 farad cap though.

i was wondering about how a system would hold up with this battery?, and how is the battery holding up for you guys who have had it for a while. system or not.

A Group 51 may be a little small, but tons of cars run them. A Group 51 has plenty of power for a regular car. And for a car with a system, the one I have is designed for a system. It's very dense. It has more power than most full size batteries. It weights over 60 lbs. Kentic makes a similar sized battery.

that battery that you use is it XS Power D5100(r)? and i have only found it with the screw down, not like the way the car comes?, did you chance it or did i not look hard enough for thr right one

I have no idea what you are talking about. What do you mean screw down? At any rate, it is available with the battery terminals on either side, D5100 or D5100R. You could really use either one, just turn the battery around. But I got the 5100. As far as tie-down, the tray Matt made for me includes a vertically oriented tie-down, as I mentioned in my last post. This is, "the right one".

@HTP; question about the tray for a pu. For the m6x20 bolt for mounting the ecu does the nylon washer need to be against the battery box(lock nut~ecu~washer~battery box) or on the lock nut that holds down the ecu(lock nut~washer~ecu~battery box)
