Grounding??

[xwade01]

I've searched but I didnt come up w/ any threads that really pertained to this. I was thinking of just using my old amp wire that ccame w/ the car for ground wires. But then I searched on ebay and the ground kit on there is like 11$$ I was just wondering would the ebay kit be worth it or just use my old amp wire for ground wires? My plans were to ground out the whole engine bay but idno what to do. And also is there any specific wiring ga # I should use for best grounding??? Thanks in advance and sorry if theres been another thread over this.. I couldnt find it.

you should go with the ebay ground kit they are made to be grounded for engin as in heat and ETC... but if you whant to gain power with a good ground kit go with a APEXi ground kit, at lessss 5 hp or more de pending on your engin mods you have

[xwade01]

Hmm thats kool. Thanks for the heads up, and the A'Pexi is how much $ though? And hooking up the ebay ground kits the car should drive a little bit smoother due to all flow from the grounds??

If i am right isnt the ebay kit 8 gauge wire? You can pull off using ur old amp wires but the crimps and the thing that goes onto the battery will cost the money.

Hm then maybe i'll just be better off getting an ebay kit for cheap then just use some other random grounds w/ some other wire and run it that way?

Those ebay kits for like 10 bucks, now you have me considering it. I just wonder if it looks ugly installed. I don't want it as bling, I'd be happy if it was invisible.

[xwade01]

Well IMO they dont look too bad. I've seen a couple friends running them, but i've never thought about it. I mean now that I do think about it 10-15$ for the ground kit is pretty cheap considering you'd have to buy the wire, and all the connectors. I might just get a red wire kit or something to match the car somewhat and ground stuff out. I want as much clean flow and power as I can w/ little stuff done.. if you know what I mean. Later.

we did a DIY ground wire kit on my friends Celica GTS and he noticed a good gain from it, car doesnt wanna bog as much, lights are brighter, and his lights dont flicker like they used to

Hmm does anyone know what the significance of that Voltage Stabalizer is, and does anyone think it'd be worth it to buy something like this???

just for the record... grounding kits do not "add" power, just restores power that was robbed by the poor grounds. for more information.....search.

lol jk ..but ya u could run the wires where theres existing wires as well and it will be a bit better hidden

Grounding does help.
Get those ebay ground wires and reground your stock Honda ground points...

---
negative battery to - Motor - to firewall - to alternator - to light housing - back to chassis...
you'll get better radio reception, you can dial higher volume on your deck, get brighter gauge lights and your window regulators will work slightly better...

no, no hp gains. get a rice decal, you'll net 10hp from any decal put on your car

a while back a friend of mine's car had grounding problems, so instead of going through and sanding off all the ground points we took a long piece of old amp wire that we ripped out of his car and stripped sections off with a razorblade, and starting at the battery we ran it from bolt to bolt to bolt haha...
