After getting a $100 grounding kit, could you tell any difference performance wise? I did a DIY grounding kit on my turbo powered 240sx few years ago - but the only thing I really noticed was brighter lights.

I'm thinkin bout doing the stereo shop power wire method on my SC4, and just wanted to see what you guys are gainin out of this.

 

found this on the web. Its an article using ground kit boasting an increase of 14hp over stock on the dyno...but I'm not sure if I should believe it

What you guys think?

 

PM me with your email and I will forward you the Teck Grounding Kit Instructions.

 

For anybody wantin to DIY Ground kit, just go to your local welding supply store and get some #4 or larger welding cable, and some battery connectors from an auto store. Cheapest way to do it.

 

I never got my e-mail returned.

 

Are you asking me? I never got a PM with your email addy.

 

Whose addy, anyway I e-mailed some company about price and availability of their ground kit.Never got a reply.

 

i got 4 gauge wire for 2.50/ft just to let you know how much it cost i ended up going with -0/2 gauge ahah das right do it once do it right.

btw i run 2 capacitors as well

4 tv's

1 dvd player

1 amp

1 head unit

1 gps

1 power outlet for my blender i like drinkin smoothies when i drift

 

im going to make my own. lots of 8 awg, get some terminals on ebay or something. however what are you guys using to connect all the ground wires together? i was thinking of taking a copper slab and drilling it and tapping it for bolt holes.

 

I used #4 welding cable from Airgas and battery cable connectors from autozone.
Alt to body(passenger side where stock ground is)
battery to body(near driver shock tower)
battery to block
block to body(firewall)
intake mani to firewall
throttle body to firewall

I still need to do one either from passenger block to body, just been lazy.

 

Get Buddy Club because i work there

 

Why don't you hook us up with a good price for it then.

 

I bought a buddyclub one for my Integra Type R and didn't notice anything, this should be the absolute last mod you do to your car if you do it at all.

 

I want to buy a ground kit and would like to know which one is the best.

 

It's like anything, no point upgrading to stage 4 clutch when you're only putting down stock power.

Tell that to the guys that have huge audio systems and added electronics? They should just run stock 16 gauge wiring in that case. Ever heard of the big 3 mod for audio systems? The ground is a huge part of it IF you are modding your stereo/electronics because the stock ground is only sized appropriately, just like your clutch, your alternator, your power wire.

Also, look around at people who use standalones. There are proven logs to show cleaner and more consistent sensor readings and pickups. There are examples of ECU's picking up crank/cam angle readings inconsistently and bam...with a grounding kit, it fixes their problem.

But if you don't have aftermarket stereo's or electronics, then yes, it probably shouldn't be a priority. But the IS boards have consistently felt better and more consistent shifting with the addition of a grounding kit, even stock.
