Hyper grounding wires

I recently experiment with hyper grounding and the results were very positive.
My car idles better and rev up much smoother. It's a relatively cheap mods and I believe it helps the sensors to communicate better w/the ECU's.

Anyone else has this mods done? Please post your comments!

I installed my own Hyper Ground kit and really did feel a difference. It cost me about $50 for good wires and connectors.

Yep, I did my own for about ~$40-50 (plus the cost of the crimper) and was pleased with the results. It definitely does *something*. Plus it adds known good grounding points for any electrical mods you do involving grounding...

I have had mine on the car for a while and to be honest, I don't remember a noticeable change.
What grounding points did you use? I used these:

1. battery to stock chassis ground point
2. stock ground point to transmission
3. battery to transmission
4. transmission to intake manifold
5. intake manifold to coilpack
6. coilpack to passenger side chassis ground

3. battery to transmission
4. transmission to intake manifold
5. intake manifold to coilpack
6. coilpack to passenger side chassis ground
This is what I did w/the grounding wires:

1) negative battery to chassis -new grounding point (a)
2) from (a) to a bracket that hold a sensor? on the top leftside of the throttle
body assembly. (b)
3) (b) to the upper grounding point on the leftside of the engine
(under the cover)

next

4) from stock grounding point -lower left of the battery to the alternator
grounding point.
5) negative from battery to the lower grounding point on the leftside of the
engine (under the cover) (a)
6) (a) to chassis ground where the alternator is grounded to.

then

7) negative to grounding point at the lower front right side of the battery housing.

I am planning to ground some other locations nearby the sensors. Hopefully, this will lessen the interference and allow better signal transfer to the Ecu's.

I used 4 gauge. I wouldn't go smaller than 8 gauge for ideal results.

Use car audio power cable, because it's flexible and designed to accept under-the-hood conditions.

If you all could....

I installed my grounding kit this weekend and found a possible Nissan "anomoly".

Those with 2000's and 2001's, could you look at the ground spot on the right side of the motor? It will be in one of two spots:

* A plate right below the right most valve cover screw on the front of the block, probably mutiple "grounds" connected to it.
* On the RIGHT side of the motor, hooked to a plate hooked onto a pipe on the cooling system. This plate is very close to the 'V' and only has the batter negative terminal hooked to it.

If you could tell me which one you have and how many grounds you have connected to that one post, it would be helpful.

If you could post a pic or email me a pic of your ground area, that would be cool too.

Thanks!
Colonel
