yea my friend said it looks like a gold octupus yea i know engine bay looked like messed up but it's okie... i'm gettin used to it.

HKS Blue Hyper Grounding system installed. There's a total of 5 ground wires. The RPM shifts a bit more smoother, especially at upper rpm range. The throttle felt more responsive. The Idling and starting are smoother as well. There's already an increase in my gas mileage (average 1.5mile+/gallon).

yea yea i know some people maybe disagree with the spots i wired but i followed william's (metallic97gxe) suggestion and the result proved it. special thx to will who convinced me to get this kit.

I am looking forward to see the WHP gains on the dyno in two weeks.

 

Where did you get that kit from?
I think it may look much better after you wash your engine bay

hey looks good !

 

Who cares how it looks, let's see the performance.

hmmmm.....yeah, um.......interesting?

I thought grounding your bat will only keep your lights from dimming when bumping your system and starting your ac/heat?

How does it make your car run faster???? Magical Elv's ?

 

looks blue to me

 

me too

 

hey, lets see the performance ?

 

i will solve the mystery next saturday on the dyno run...

i'll keep you guys posted.

 

Man I hate to be the one to say this but that is rather ugly. I understand the theoretical benifits from better engine grounding but you need to conceal the wires better and loom them if not this is just a rice mod.

 

The level of electrical knowledge on this site is not good at all. Not that I'm Edison or anything, but I def know enough to know that you're not going to see HP gains from better grounding wires unless you car had SERIOUS problems with the ground in the first place.

I may end up doing this mod, but to provide better grounding for my stereo, not to "increase HP". The wires look okay but I would have run them along with other wires and wire tied them rather than just having them all over my engine bay.

 

OK allow me to comment on this. (MECP Certified)
Our engines are pretty well grounded due to the 4ga ground wire attached to the block right in fron tof the tranny but you can increase HP from a better ground. It IS minute though. It just provides less impedance for all your sensors etc. and allows them to opperate more efficiently. The one thing this kit does not do is upgrade the ground to the MAS. This if anywhere is where you might see a slight gain.

 

but it's still oooogly

 

hey happyricefob, there is about 5 ground places that u missed on the car...u really just grounded the headlights and i dont see how u can feel a difference already! try regrounding the alternater, the 2 fuel inj and the tranny and the one behind the fusebox then get the dyno...look on my page i did the same

 

Yours looks good. If I got a kit it would be black

 

not bad!

 

where do u get the kit from? I wanna try it out.

 

don't judge it if you never 0wn it. i understand there's a debate between the gains of hyper grounding kit. personally on my car i have experienced better throttle response, and a 1.5mi/gallon improvement every tank of gas. i consider that as an improvement, which served it's purpose.

no sh*t the bling bling gold octupus looks fugly. some people think it looks neat, some people don't. to me as long it serve its function then it's all good to me. it's not like i'm driving with my hood open all the time...

 

man you need to read all my post on this thread before you say anything like that. I actually defended the theory behind the product in another post. Also that sentance should have read "Don't judge it if you have never owned one"

 

this is the dyno off from a 97 GLE with hyper grounding kit installed before and after the dyno. my point is not to prove the gains are there on my car, because every car is different. base on that, i am looking forward to see couple WHP on the dyno coming up next saturday.

if this hyper grounding kit doesn't do anything, i'll sell it to you

 

so? your hyper grounding kit is not on the car. it doesn't apply to me personally...

 

what???????that product is not on what car? Yours? then where are the pictures from? I am lost now. BTW to everyone interested in this, all you need is about 15-20' of 8ga. wire, some ring terminals and a good pair or crimpers. $10 at the most.

 

i was refering to whatever hyper grounding kit you were working on is not on my car. the gains of every kit is not the same.

 

I never said I had a kit, never said I was working on a kit, and yes any kit will have THE SAME EXACT benifits. This kit is nothing but 8ga wires and a distribution block. Please don't argue with me on this man I am not trying to start a ****ing contest. All I know is that I have 13 years experience in the auto electrical industry,

 

I stand corrected.

Still though, as I have said in similar threads in the past...if you are cleaning your grounds regularly and are grounded to good spots you should not see a gain when you install better ground wires. I would say that any improvement is due more to lack of maintinance or maybe ****ty nissan grounds than any real "gain" per se. I don't mean this to sound like I clean my grounds every week...actually I have a little problemo in my car at the moment...but still. I tend to think of any improvement you see as more of a "fix" of something that's broken than that you are "gaining" something new. Fair enough though...I can't always be right.

 

so, do your lights dim when hitting the window switches still?

 

This is also very true. Just wanted to cosign this. No difference between what 8 guage wire you use.

 

Have you ever seen a factory Nissan ground? Well they don't scrape the paint off and rely on the threads of the screws for a good ground. Not good. Just scraping the paint off is an electrical performance upgrade. I made my own grounding kit and in Happy's defense, it helps. The ring terminals alone cost me $10, I also used 4 awg wire, another $25. The kits on Ebay are cheap.... just pick one up there. Using a grounding kit loweres the resistance thus helping performance, lighting, ect. I don't know if the above dyno is the same one I have seen, but one Org member got a HP increase with his HKS Earth Grounding system. Trust the guys who have them and say they help.

 

hmmm, interesting. Very interested to see the gains from this...

Im not trying to ruffle any feathers here but The personal opinion theory of yours is sketchy since you also stated you felt better handling with that rear tie bar project of yours which of course does not work.

Then again I still believe you about some gains with these wires since SF is a pretty humid place prone to wire corrosion.

 

so this guy got 8HP/13TQ from a grounding kit????? that seems like a stretch....

 

Interesting... i kinda like it, curious as to how much the gains will be.

 

dyno dyno dyno dyno!!!

wait for my sheet... the gain may/may not be significant but we will see.

if tyler can get the motostorm UDP to my house before the 20th that will be even better... we will see...

 

looks great my friend...............

 

did u dyno before you had this installed?

 

I think it would be more consistant if he did back to back runs and all he had to do is disconnect the system from the batt and reconnect it for the next run with it

 

I think your friend might be color blind. Gold??

I see blue.

 

This is a great idea. I'm gonna be at the dyno next week, so I'll make sure happyricefob does exactly that.

 

$7 worth of 8 ga

Heres me:
