Engine Ground Wire kit writeup -pics-
i see there are multiple threads on how the ground kit..how much it is..what it does it do how does it work...i went ahead and bought one and installed it... and found it to well worth the money. I think i paid about 23 bucks for this U.S. currency..
----- it says its a "hks" but its actually bootleg!... as you may have noticed with a lot of ebay products..but there functionality ie CAI..shortram..exhaust..do the same things as the more expensive items with 'namebrands'
------this design is called the hks round the earth model. As you can see the top is round..connects to your negative terminal and branches off to other parts of the engine..the places you want to connect the wire are to 1) close to the alternator 2) valve cover 3)headlight 4)throttle body 5)frame of vehicle x 2 ....make sure you tighten down everything on the round earth peice on the negative terminal because you dont want to create any shorts..
if the wire in your kit doesnt fully reach..get as close as possible
--------what this does is centralize the ground points and thefore creates a better ground to the entire vehicle...letting electricity flow through your wires better and letting your car produce at peak performance.. i still dont really understand the concept myself but i have noticed a change in my vehicle..as only a cb7 tuner can notice...
-------the changes i have noticed:
1) well i have autostart...and when i start my car up in the morning..i hear my car stutter...why?..probably not getting a good initial spark...when i grounded it..my car starts like a charm with no problem with no stutter
2) better throttle response..when i give it some gas
3) higher end HP... i notice my car can get to 125 mph a lil bit easier f22a6 > * meaning f22a6 owns you!!!
4) i think my mpg may have gone up slightly about 1 more mile / gallon
------the install took about 30 min'z to do... the only hard part was putting it on the negative terminal ...cuz i had some other stuff i couldnt get off...
...only someone who listens to there car everyday would feel...my engine felt more powerful after install..i had it installed incorrectly for a day..and my car felt weak....make sure you read below and dont allow it to short circuit by having gaps between the terminal adaptor and the peice that goes over the negative terminal..cuz if a spark jumps <short circuit> your car wont start..
***caution make sure you install it correctly tighen all the bolts down!...if you leave a gap whenever you try to start your car it will short circuit until you get rid of any gap between the negative terminal and the round the earth piece.....also make sure your ground wire near your alternator is not touching your header...cuz its gonna melt...common sense people***
yeah it doesn match the yellow top or the spark plug wires...but people cant see that on the outside...

i found that my kit gave pretty good results also. although IMO i don't like the way the wires look branching off of the terminal like that, so i used separate wires to ground everything. does that same thing, except it gets the look that i like 
Nice looking wires though. 
gettin swap soon this year
