Buying a ground kit

[Fr0z3N]

Is there any difference in what to get??

Here's a $35 Blue Earth Ground system



Here's a $40 HKS Ground system



Here's $30 Auto Kraz

i think a lot of those wire kits from ebay are nothing more than power wire.

there are some that claim to be more that just power wire, by saying that their wire is made from a higher percentage of copper, alowwing for better conductivity.

some people say they are a waste of money.

some say there is much room from improvement over the factory grounds and their locations.

i personally think that they do something. (less resistance). there are dyno tests to prove it.

if i were going to buy one, i wouldn't get them from ebay. check out the ones from sunauto. they seem to be higher quality. later.

sunauto?? what's that? Put it this way, my grounds look pathetic, lemme find a good pic.

Here's one, you can sorta see. Put it this way, the blue is the wire, not wire cover, lol.



But basically I'm asking, should I buy these or not or can I get better pair cheaper local?

[Fr0z3N]

i t hink thewy look *** and also they are bulky....all you need is like 20 feet or more of 4 guage power wire, a few crimp terminals...loom and some tape and then hook it up to various areas in the car, like alternator to chassis, battery to chassis, head to chassis, etc.

the first one and the second one can only utilize ground in one spot making it not easy to ground some things, while if you make your own you can cut maybe a foot or 2 and ground the component to the chassis instead of one point.

all you ha ve to remember is to clean the surface, make sure its secure, and then make sure u put some dielectric grease or something to prevent rust.

A stock replacement ground wire is about $10 at your local jobber. Mine helped my cranking speed, and I also added a braided ground strap to replace the short battery-to-body wire.
Cost me $15 total, works fine.

Since a stock piece is corroded, (shocking, I know, after only 15 years!) why not start by replacing it?

yeah man i thinking about getting that sunauto ground thing the blue one.
hyper whatever. the got proven dyno results of 5 hp like to 15 hp.

edit : oh my bad i'm thinking of a voltage system ,but ground looks good too.

Is that not what I am doing? Trying to replace/upgrade my grounds hoping to even get some good looks out of them? Shit someone must have missed what this topic was about, was it me or you?

his method works just fine and costs a lot less.

I don't mean it in a bad way, I just mean I am bad at crimping and it's a lot more work then I feel like putting into my grounds.

I looked at Sun Auto parts, a lot more then I was ready to pay for ground wires.

[d112crzy]

you're bad at crimping? how hard is it to squeeze some crimping pliers?
