Sometime soon i would like to add additional grounds in my engine. I kno that there is a kit (hyper grounds) but i was hoping for any other alternatives, like buyin wire at a home depot or something. Also where should i connect the grounds, i.e- (headlight ground, throttle body, etc...)? What gauge wire? Thanks for any help.

 

bump, some one must know

 

Nobody has any clue?

 

I think your best bet would be spend the extra money and buy the grouding kit from the web sites. they already come with the exact measurments and every thing.
btw I'm not sure where, but I remember seen some one showing how they installed the ground kit. I will try to find it and post latter.

 

your probly rite. Thanks for the help.

here it is...

 

not a bad idea, but you have to remember that for the price they are quoting, you could not come close to the cost since they get discounts on the wire and parts since they buy in bulk.

 

Stillen also offers a grounding kit on there website with silver or red wires, but it is like $130.00.

 

that's my HKS hyper grounding kit. there's 5 ground wires, mostly grounds location are similar to metallic97gxe. but i do have one ground it to knock sensor.

 

I got the cheap kit off of ebay. i think it was about $30. I grounded to the two strut towers, the engine ground, and the headlight grounds. I think i read somewhere that you usually shouldn't ground to the tb. I think it was in import tuner, they actually lost a little torque when they had it wired that way. as rediculous as it sounds, everyone who dyno's their car says these kits actually give you torque. i haven't dyno'd, so i can't say if i gained torque, but it can't hurt...unless you ground to the wrong place.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. A bit more torque would be nice. Ill probly go for the ebay deal.

 

I made my own for about $20. You don't need to go overboard with multiple grounding points, it just isn't needed unless you have a serious problem with some other component in the car. You need to fix that first.
My audio/video system draws a ton of juice and I have never had any noise or problems. (knock on wood)

 

What gauge wire did you use?
