need help installing ground kit

I purchased a ground kit off ebay and I am trying to find the best ground points. I have looked at the hyperground install instructions on vqpower.com but the pictures don't work. Anyone have any pics of where to install the wires or can give me some tips. Thanks

use steel mesh/sandpaper to clean off grounding points.

1.main engine ground is on the engine block on the battery side.,
2.main chassis ground is right next to the battery between the battery and the airbox. easier to see if you remove the battery.
3. many org.ers have grounded the the starter, normally the the highest bolt on the starter relative to the ground.
4. some suggest one on the timing chain cover, u can pretty much pick any bolt that best uses the cables lenght that u have. (i grounded mine to a bolt on the chassis where the coolant resovior is)
5. intake manifold, any of those bolts are fine. use your best judgement depending on how long your wires are. (i grounded it to the the nearest bolt on the firewall.)

if you have left over cables i guess u could do your headlights, they are already grounded, jsut use the same grounding points.


dont expect much from this mod unless your car is really rusted or you have really bad electrical problems. it did help me start the car faster usually with only 1 or 2 cranks of the starter instead of 3 or 4.

thanks for your help. I am not expecting much difference but my max does have a rough start so I am hoping it does help that a little.

It's kind of good that you did not follow the VQPower instructions because I've been told that that setup sucks.
