I was in the 12v industry for 20 years but that was 15 years ago-and before that, put myself through college (Georgia Tech) installing car stereos-got my Amateur Radio License at 12-and when I was 7 plugged my Hot Wheels Sizzler car into a 120 outlet instead of the Juice Machine!!!
Just trying to help you out- looks like a NICE build- a few bucks more to do it right?? Why not!
FWIW- electricity moves as slow as molasses compared to the speed of light- and connecting to the battery does make a difference...
I'll throw this out - The car where I got my engine from- a BMW 750IL- $98,000 NEW- a lot of electronics - stock 140A alternator and had an optional 2ND alternator...
BMW runs a 4GU directly to the battery from the alternator
Battery in the trunk
Three wires- Starter-Alternator- ECUs
Running to the front of the car- BTW the junkyard is a GREAT place to get this wire- cheap and it is REALLY good stuff!!!
That's exactly how I did mine-
Battery is in the back- ran 1/0 to the starter AND alternator- and 4GU for vintage air/ECU/Power windows
Hiding the wire-"Custom ideas"
No wire (OK- I have covered the plug wires I relocated..)
here's another way to hide- had some extra SS line from my Dry sump set-up
Howabout this- used a Voltage regular cover to hide the relays for the electric fans
Hiding fuel injection wires-
Custom fuel rails- the second set of rails is for the vacuum
Get a wire book from Home Depot/Lowes- really helps keep the wiring straight... ESPECIALLY when relocating coils
Cover it w/ split loom fabric-
Copper pipe- cut on a table saw-
Then a black wrinkle finish-
