I kinda tried it with mine, It's kinda ghetto rigged. Didn't notice much of a difference, I just put extra wires from my engine to the ground and from my alternator. Put the wires really close to my battery. I noticed It helped my idleing a little bit.

But I read in import tuner that you can actually diminish your performance if you place the hyperground wires in the wrong place. THey said they lost like 10 horsepower from doing it wrong.

yeah, if you try to run your main ground on a painted serface, it wont make contact(or enough contact) and will either not start at all, or run like ----.

Yeah, I actually took the time to sand down everything that was touching the chassis. I had a friend who got a new paint job, and right afterward he couldnt start his car. Well duh! There was like a quarter inch layer of paint between the battery ground and the chassis.

Here you go


Not a honda engine, but you get the point. Daisy-Chain all the wires together, and make contact at:

Chassis, Neg Battery, Thermostat, VTEC Silenoid(sp), Intake Manifold, Tranny, Alternator, head/valve cover, chassis ground again.

ooooooh, thank you very much for that post street_kings. Any recomendations on what kind of wire or what gauge to use?

street_kings

I used 4 Gauge, with gold plated connectors. When you make the new chassis ground, make sure you file it down to raw steel where you ground it, coz the paint will ---- up the current.

The one Ill be making for Steve is made from flat #4,high voltage ground brade.Its what they use to ground High voltage spices.Its a copper clad aluminum(cope inside of aluminum) witch is a really good conductor.

I grounded mine at 7 spots.I went frome my battery terminal to the fire wall.Frome the fire wall to the Intake mani.From the mani. to one of the vtec solenoid screws.Frome the solenoid to the head(by the exhoust side).Frome the head to the tranny.from the trani to the block.And frome the block to a bolt by the head light(drivers side).

People think its bull ---- but its not.As an electrician I can tell you that your electrical system is only as good as your groung(return).A bad groung is the couse of manny head aches.

Quick question. Some people say to daisy chain the grounds, while others say merge all ground points to one central chassis ground. What's the diff?

d16forlife

electricity will allways choose the shortes path to ground(with the least amount of resistence).If you daisey chain them your path is continuoues.If you bunch them up at one point you create resistence at that one point of connection.Thats why when you daisey chain them your first point of connection is the same as the last one.That completes the circle .
