Hey guys this is my first real tech post so I'm sorry if it doesn't meet the grammar on here .
Any ways , My issue is with starting. When I first got the car it had a junk starter. So I replaced it with a remanufactured one from advanced... The equal length long tube headers ruined that one. So I had it replaced under warranty 1 month later. I wrapped that one with a some 5000 degree rated heat wrap , with heat tape around that... Died in 3 months not 2 but heat killed that one as well. SOOO now here I am a db electrical high torque mini starter . Found out my battery was bad so I replaced it with a Shuriken BT-sk20 dry cell mini battery. Only 850 cranking amps and When the cars cold first start of the day it starts the car right up like nothing. NOWW when its at operating temps and Shut it off after a 20 minute drive and everything is warmed up the battery acts like its dead... I THINK .
Ive been trying to figure out what it is for the past day and I have a triangle ground setup, battery to chassis battery to block and 2 grounds from the block to the chassis. Should I add one from the starter to the chassis as well? I cant figure it out, could it be the starter is starting to go again? Im going to get rid of the shuriken sense its a audio battery and my buddy with a g35 told me to get it because it starts his car fine.
On that note i cannot forget he said it should turn my motor over fine. Should i send back the shuriken and get a dynabatt or is a dynabatt a bad battery?
ALSO (sorry ive just done a bunch of searching and cant find anything on any site) . My key has to be in the right spot for my reverse lights to work and my tach light to work. So I just turn it back to the right spot . could that be the issue? I need help "use the search button" Ive search and found nothing Ive read the no crank sticky... Still nothing.
