Grounding System?

[ilarson007]

So has anyone ever used a grounding kit, like the Hyper Ground kits you find on eBay? I was reading a thing on FEOA.net about how some guy installed one on his wagon, and he said it had a noticeable difference. I was just wondering if anyone has one of these installed and if they thought it was worth the $120 or so?

P.S. Cause this sounds like a mod I may be able to do, lol.

Not worth it.

reason(s)?

If you want to do it, there are cheap ones on the net that do just as much as any of the more expensive ones. Or you could go to a local hardware store, and get all the stuff you need for less than $10.

Look up grounding kits, and it'll tell you how to make them. It's pretty easy.




They might not help you out a lot, but it certainly won't hurt.

Make your own. There is no rocket science here.
Big wires and clean terminal ends for a good connection.
Just add them instead of replacing everything.

when i had mine on my 2000 it helped the idle a little. i bought everything i needed at walmart for $8... then again it was all on clearance... but i have nothing bad to say about doing it

i personally have a buddy club grounding kit. its a voltage stabalizer/ground kit in one box. and truthfully, i was suprised. it did actually help. throttle response, it seriously feels quicker.

i also have a regular 'grounding kit' like everyone else. two wires coming from the negative terminal going to different places in a chain. im sure it helps some. but not alot.

You are referring to the "Big 3." Just put larger gauge wires for the battery ground, the alt to batt, and engine block to chassis ground.

ok thanx I have two done I just cant reach the grounding spot on the alt. Is there a easy way to get to it?
