having a 2g maf doesn't mean you need to relocate your battery. If you get a DSM style intake pipe, though, you will. You have a few options (relocating within engine bay, or placing battery in trunk). There are many battery boxes available. The cheap/common plastic one you see can be had at summit.
 

You can also get the same style plastic case at walmart as well. That's where I picked mine up from and it was considerably cheaper than ordering from summit or the like.
 

Oh hi. The more expensive versions are for track legality. They are meant to seal battery vapors in to be vented outside of the car via a tube that is usually included with the box. The Moroso box is a great example of this. I hope this helps in your future endeavors toward modifying your GVR4. Thank you for asking this question. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif That's great. I almost got banned from this section at one point too. If you're relocating your battery make sure you do it right. They are pricey but you can buy a kit from stm. It's super nice but like I said, pricey. Don't forget that you can relocate your battery under the hood too, and this will be cheaper all around. Contact gvr4zum because he makes nice trays for I think $35. The only downside is you will need a slightly smaller battery than stock.
