are replacing the stock grounds that big of a differance? as far as i know it may give 1hp. what i was wondering is if it gives you a smoother start and better idle at a stand still. i figure 8 guage wire would be sufficent. does anybody think 4 guage would be better? i'd appreciate comments or advice. thanks. HCF is definetly my civic forum of choice.

 

Hmm, smoother starts and better idle I am not sure about, but I have read that there is a slight increase in Hp. As far as the size of the wire, the differnce in 8 and 4 is probably negligable.

 

how many grounds in total need to be done? i know of at least 3 of them. chasis,tranny,head

 

Most grounding kits come with 5 wires I believe, I don't know what the other two are though.

 

trans, head (valve cover), head (next to the dist), intake manafold, front of block, closer to electrical equip the better itll work, mainly the "grounding kits" are "worth" more to older cars then newer ones,

 

sorry if i interfear or w/e, didnt want to start up a new thread tho. im thinkin about getting a grounding kit as well. 10 year old car, never been replaced, and i took a look at the wires and seemed a bit corroded. i found a kit on ebay i really like. looks great and isnt expensive, money is pretty tight right now so yeah...

leme know what u think.

thanks.

 

i know i got a HYPER GROUND kit for my car and if came with 8, 8 gauge wires and i only used 5 total, but it did idle smoother and the acceration from a stop felt more solid and stiffer for some reason, might of added a few extra pony's, Get one dude you wont be dissapointed i got my off ebay for like 30 bucks shipped and i saw a difference on my 92 civic

<----- Worth my money

 

im really leaning towards that spoon grounding kit but how does it work?? i know that it connects to the battery termanal so do i just connect all the other wires to where they should be(like to the valve cover and all). also, is there anything i need to know about replacing them, like if there are certain percautions i should take?

 

just dont cross any kind of metal (aka wrench) from the negative to the positive

 

Spoon Logo, not from Spoon the company. Make sure you read what's in the description, I'd go with a name I'd trust, Sun Auto makes a good grounding kit. it's 115 on a website but you can prolly find it lower on ebay.
