Bakes100 20 1 Cars Posted January 29, 2008 Hi Does anyone have any engine bay pics of a gti6 engined 205 with the battery in the boot?? As im thinking of doing this in mine due to the lack of room and i was wondering how people mounted the ECU and other items when the battery box wasnt present. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
felix2566 2 Posted January 29, 2008 Here is a picture of my 309 with a gti6 engine and no battery in the bay. Its not finished, but you get the idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bakes100 20 1 Cars Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks mate, Where are u going to mount your ecu??? as i was thinking of maybe chopping the original battery box part off, leaving the ecu in its casing and mounting the ecu flat on the original battery mount as im not keen on having the ecu unprotected.

felix2566 2 Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Not sure yet to be honest, havent got that far, sorry! But what you are suggesting sounds like a good idea. Edited January 30, 2008 by felix2566 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe1joe 3 Posted January 30, 2008 are the ecu cables long enough to mount on the battery side? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alastairh 47 Posted January 30, 2008 Another idea, look into 106 XSI etc ecu covers. They are stored in the bay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simes 248 2 Cars Posted January 31, 2008 Stick the ECU under the dash - far neater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bakes100 20 1 Cars Posted February 1, 2008 Cheers Guys Where abouts did you run the wires for the battery??? As obviously it will need to be securely attached and may show up under the carpet?? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
