Grounding Wires, Import tuners fav? Options

[HyperDeathKill]

I was reading the latest June 2003 import tuner and came across the Hyper Ground System in their turning pages. Under pros they said it had become a favorite product for them since it can make a lot of power and is pretty affordable comparted to other aftermarket products. However the Dyno showed absolutely no HP gain. And for cons they said it was the first time they were unable to produce a lot of power with the wires.

Does anybody have previous issues of this mag where they do produce a lot of power with grounding wires? Anybody have these? Know someone who does? Heard about them?

You do not have to apply ground if you really do not see the need for it.

But if you are looking for that consistancy and that extra hp for well being, then grounding would help.

Put it this way, if you are in car audio, CBing or in general getting interference in your radio, grounding will help.

To your question gh0st_d0g:-

You can use normal big properly made and terminated ground straps. again, if you can get HyperGround, then get it, since it has be shown to offer more low resistance effectiveness than normal ground wires. Also, there have a very high content of copper to other wires and also have heat shield to keep the wires cools.

As the temperature of wire increases, the resisance of the wire increase by a very small amount.

As there article stated and it does make sense in term of setup :- >>>>> Make cure all contact surface are clean and well mated

1) Attach a ground strap to the -ve side of thebattery to the car body.
2) Attach the other ground strap from the battery (-ve) to the engine block (head) or transmission. Which ever comes first.
3) In this daisy chain setup, attach from the head to the throttle body (where your injectors are)
4) attach from that point to car body.

You can place the wires where you think it is critical.
