Hey everyone Ive been looking at little things to improve the performance and one of the things i have come across are the "earth grounding system" http://www.optauto.com/webstore/prod...tion=&back=yes
Has anyone used this? Can this really add that much? Hks makes them too but I have no clue how well they work.

 

i think it will only work depending on the condition of the current engine's setup.

 

Well my car is an 97 rs 5 speed ngk wires ice box 63,000 on it. Spoon strut bar but that has nothing to do with the engine.

 

depends on the condition of the current grounding system...

if the grounds on your engine or battery sucks ass or is dirty...yes, there will be a difference. if you keep your grounds clean, i say the difference is minimal if any.

if you can crimp, make your own wires h: its way cheaper.

 

Seriously, go to Home Depot and get some 2ga insulated stranded wire, then go to a car parts store for some 2ga rings. Cut, crimp, and bolt on. It will do the exact same thing, but I'd be suprised if it costs more then $10.

 

Yeah i would do that but i don't know all the points that they connect to. Does anyone know where the connect besides the factory points?

 

I know a couple of the Type R guys at Honda-tech used them and actually saw an improvement. They spent like $100 or something though. I could dig up a thread if it really came down to it, but search over there.

Improved throttle response and a bit torquier, supposedly.

 

I wouldn't waste your time yet if you have made no modifications to the motor.

 

i bet if you search the forums long enough...you can find out exactly which wires their swap out....

ones worth mentioning...i did because i use to have a fat stereo system.

battery-ground
alternator-ground
engine head-ground

 

I have some extra 4 guage power wire form an install. I was wondering if the engine temps will be too much if i use it on the engine block ground or if it would be ok.
