Shinjiduo makes quality grounding kits and they are a lot cheaper than courtesyparts.com's kit.

dude, make your own. $20 > $50, and it takes no time at all.

 

ah thanks guys.. hey one more thing is there a grounding kit with a fuse maybe? so if anything goes haywire itll blow the fuse instead of my-car-up?

or is that not possible?

 

man im not wire-crimping electrical savvy at all!

 

Great kit with intall instructions just go easy on the bolts he sends I broke the heads off 2 one is still in the timing chain cover I couldn't get my drill in there to get it out oh well it works fine with it in a different spot. Hit em up you wont be dissapointed

 

Shinjiduo's kit rocks!

 

might be a dumb question. But if yo uwnana make your own, will 18 gauge speaker wire work? where can you find the cables that Shinjiduo uses?

thanks

 

^^ look up the brand on his wires, that' where i would start

 

tried that, I only found online sources. Im looking for someplace where i can go pick these up.

 

those are a 8 gauge cables and you can find them in any place where install audio car system like for 1.50 dlls for feet and make sure to get some ring terminals. get like 15 feet of cables and like 14 rings

 

I use 4 gauge wire on my kits and if you want to find out where to get the supplies in your local area just go to http://www.stingerelectronics.com then type in your zip code in the find dealers box at the bottom on the page.

 

It is only 20 dollar to make if you already have the crimper which will cost you at least 25 dollars alone if you buy a cheap hammer crimper or cost you 600 if you buy an overkill hydraulic one. It is only cheaper to make your own if you intend on making multiple kits to sell with your crimper and buy B.S. cheap high gauge wire.

 

im thinkin of purchasing shin i just wanna know if i can somehow have a fuse attached before before it touches battery (or where ever it should be) to safegaurd my car from shorting something pricey out..

 

Since none of the wires in my kit will touch the positive battery terminal there is absolutely no chance of electrical burnout as the ground lead is not responsible for drawing power. It would be a true waste of money however, if you want me to make a kit with a positive alternator ground to positive battery terminal I could and attach a midi or ANL fuse to that as that would actually serve a purpose. P.M. and we can discuss this further.

 

Yes they still do!

 

When you do your grounding Kit do at least 4 Ga. I have the one from courtesy I like it. But If the other Shin is offering is cheeper go for it. I see he is also offering to produce an alternator power line with an anl inline fuse for you as well. Id say go for the whole package. I ran into a problem when I upgraded my battery to an optima becasue the stock fuse terminal didnt quite sit right after installation. also If your going to go for grounding and battery go for the power cable too to take advantage of the increase in power capability. Dont use more/less than a 120 fuse tho!

 

shinjiduo im starting to sense that your ignoring me...where is my kit my man?

 

bought the wires that shinjiduo uses, and go them in the mail today. going to cut wires and crimp the connectors on and what not tomorrow.
