4 gauge sounds a bit small to me, would have thought you need something a bit bigger. Are you sure the battery isn't knackered? |

I used 170A cable from battery to starter and spurred off that with 110A cable to alternator and two connections in the fuse box.________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

I used 35mm squared for mine but it was a long run all the way to the boot, I probably could've got away with 25mm squared though. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

The 170A i used looks like its 25mm^2, seems to crank the engine over just fine using a starter from a Turbo Diesel and a Powervamp Racing 25 battery.My battery is sat under the boot floor where the spare wheel would normally be, the cable runs to the dash where the headunit would be to a killswitch then out to the starter motor. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |
