Mr.INSANE Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Im pretty sure you wont see a horsepower increase but i personally would buy one just becuase having everything grounded makes it much safer and is easier on the electronics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J__ Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 well not getting it for the horsepower increase, my stickers will give me more =P but for better idling and safty etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 grounding kits aren't nessarily for proformance. Its for electrical stablility. When electricity passes through dis-similar metals, it creates a charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Just make sure your stock grounds are in good shape. Personally I like to minimize wires and other clutter, not add to it. BTW, beware of any kit that has to warn you to NOT connect the ground wire to the positve battery terminal. And WTH is "JDM" about that kit?

mikeatrpi Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I made my own battery cable "kit" from lugs and 1/0 welding wire. You heat the lug end with a propane torch, fill it half with solder, and dunk the exposed end of the wire in. E.Z.-P.Z. The headlights /seem/ brighter- of course its just my mind playing tricks on me. Its hard to quantify any improvement. Helps me sleep at night though knowing the grounds are all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J__ Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 well theres nothing jdm about it. just the seller trying to make it more appealing to the jdm wannabe crowd? personally i dont care if that thing is jdm or usdm or etc etc as long as it works.
