Any one know of a grounding kit for a 2k?

Or even instructions on how to do it myself with wire
that would be even better.

 

Either get the Blehmco kit or DIY it...

I got a set from Blehmco for my 2k1

 

I followed Josh's (Irish44J) instructions exactly and completed the entire project for under 20 dollars after buying the materials from a local auto parts store. Whether you DIY, or buy a kit, there won't be any difference in the effect.

 

how much of a difference is there? is it really worth doing?

 

The only difference will be in your wallet!

If you are going to do the DIY grounding kit I would also recommend upgrading your big three with 1/0...if should only run you and extra $15 and is well worth the time spent.

 

Okay, updating your big three to 1/0???

EDIT: Nevermind, it took me a second to figure it out, but now I know. You might want to elaborate for the newbies though.

 

No problem. Here ya go...

 

While that looks very nice, 1/0 wire is most definitely not needed for this application (unless you are using 1/0 power wires everywhere, which nobody is). I might add that 1/0 is heavy, and pretty difficult to work with (cut/splice).....Unless you are running a MONSTER audio system and upgraded alternator, 4 to 8 guage is more than sufficient. Remember, the factory grounds are 18 or 24 guage (VERY small), so 4/6/8 is a huge upgrade.

That said, th 1/0 looks very nice, and is a plus if you like to show off your engine bay....but from a practical standpoint, it is not required and will not have any added effects vs. the 4/6/8 ga. wiring. Frankly, the so-called "hyperground" would be fine with 12 or 16 ga. wires - though most people like thicker wires because they look better visually.

I will also add that, for our purposes here (grounding), don't waste your money on high-end wiring with supposed "100% copper content" that are sold for audio purposes.....for audio applications, they may be an improvement over "normal" wires (which have 95%+ copper content), but for the grounding application here, it doesn't make one tiny bit of difference! (it's an urban legend/sales pitch that they do)

 

Hey irish44j did you added transmission grounding and if yes could you tell (pic would be the best) how and where is the grounding point? Thanks.

I never did, since I have a 5 speed it's not something that would make a difference. We did however put one on Soonerfan's old 2k (with auto tranny). The tranny groudining point is on the bottom of the tranny at the front end...to get to it just take off the lower valence pieces under the front of the car and look upward! According to him, it made the shifts smoother.
