now that i have i have had more time to evaluate, yes, there was improvement, especially in response time, the car is more "zippy". it was worth the additional grounding points.

ah never checked my gas milage, but ah feel ah should get a little thing, nothing noticable though.

i hadda try this .....soon.

pictues need fixing X X X

Here's a useful diagram I found that outlines major grounding points. I think the only one this seems to be missing is the alternator ground. Add that one in and you should be good to go.

By the way, aluminium is not a good conductor, you would of gotten better results with an ordinary piece of steel over the alumnium. Now the steel would of corroded but its better. The better of those two would be the copper or brass and if you had some extra cash (like $80-100) you can buy the audiopipe grounding box (music fans you should know this box) which is the best because its gold plated. it not only looks good but you will get the best grounding capabilities because gold is the best conductor. so just shedding some light to eveybody but people doh figure yuh could use your thick gold chain or borrow de wife wedding ring and ground the car. I;m sure it will look real BLING BLING

what happen to the ground for the ecu chassis jackal

that shoudl be the most important i say

Good work fellas.I have everything already,except the lugs.

I feel I have a project on my hands.

Grounding is a cheap mod, even "car specific" kits are usually only about US$100, much less obviously the "do it yourself" route.

You are supposed to see better throttle response, idling, brighter headlights, better stereo? all kinds of claims made, p.s don't think the job done was overkill, most kits I've seen have about 7 grounding points.

Was always a little sceptical about this, until one day on speed TV, they had "sport compact magazine's" project STi, and the first thing you saw when they opened the bonnet was a grounding set, those fellas don't put unproven performance mods on the project cars. Also seen dyno charts online.

Question is Jackal, did you see any difference? too bad you didn't do a dyno run before and after

umm... anybody could help me out to do this grounding process w my ride? I figure it would help. RB20DE, been havin some problems wit de electrical wrt my headlights an idle. some grounding points an directions would be much appreciated.

BTW....A31 cefiro

This was supposed to be one of my projects too. I could'nt find anything decent enough to fashion a distribution block.

wow....didn't know the EFI process could be affected by all those issues....so i gather the manufacturer grounding simply doesn't cut it

true enuff, when i had installed my new pioneer deck i had a lot of engine noise as the rpms increased, but the guy who installed the amplifier did some magic solder job some way and all the noise went away presto......good post man!
