In today's episode, we'll be relocating the MK4 GTI's battery to the hatch. We'll also rebuild the fuse panel that used to live on top of it. This addresses a common MK4 issue, helps with weight distribution and also cleans up the engine bay. Sweet!

This is a very clean install. Very nicely done. I would recommend running an additional wire back to the battery to wire the distribution block in series with the battery. This will allow power from the block to be pulled from the battery and allow the voltage regulator to have the battery to be charged correctly. Wired how it currently is will not have enough load on the regulator to give the correct charge to the battery.

Hey so I’d like to do this same project to my GTI. Looking up the parts for it, the Stinger SHD821 HPM Series MANL/MIDI doesn’t seem to available and nor do they know when it will be back in stock. Could you recommend a different fuse box to use? I’m not very electrical savvy so idk if something like the KCT ANL will work the same or if the same fuses will work fine with it. Great tutorial video though, it makes me feel like I can take on this project without having much electrical knowledge.

Have they held up well, did you do anything more to try and seal the fuse boxes, thanks...great video and love the fuse holders.
@supercarmio
@supercarmio 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the great feedback! The holders do come with a plastic piece that snaps on top, but like you said, they are not 100% sealed. I haven't had any issues TBH, but I guess you could probably add some weather striping or double sided foam around the perimeter if you were having issues. It's been a few years now and they are holding up great for me!

Just curious on your thoughts since I haven’t seen it asked yet. Could you locate your fuse panel in the trunk with the battery rather than in the engine bay by running the wire coming off the starter back through?
@supercarmio
@supercarmio Жыл бұрын
Yeah I believe you could -- downside is that you'd have to run additional wiring. I think it's more common to have a feed come up to the front and then split off from there. Also instead of just worrying about one line potentially shorting to ground (in the case it was damaged), you would then have to consider the wires coming from the fuse panel in the rear as well. Just my quick thoughts though - good question!

From the batt? It's 0 gauge if that's the one you're referring to. 👍

@@supercarmio thx, I thought you said 1 0 as 10 gauge, not 1 as pcs and 0 as gause, thinking to do the same but only because I want to add an extra fuse box and pull my own wires under the dash for my gadgets, nice vid.

Firstly, great how-to video. Second and most important do not waste money and time using garbage like aluminum wire for battery relocation or charging, BUY real Copper please. Companies make millions on the naive consumer buying these kits that are only useful in proper select applications. When automakers use pure copper to run your electrical why would you use anything less.

Thanks man! Yes, I totally agree. After performing relocations on other cars I would say using higher quality wire is worth it - I've been going with welding wire and have been pleased. Thanks for bringing this up
