I was looking online just for misc things for my Accord and saw some ground wires. Do these actually do what they describe, and are they worth the money?? Im not looking for massive HP gains at all just wanna know if they work and if anyone has used them ??

depends on the kit? Just make your own with amp wire and some really good connectors

 

It works marginally better. I notice better sound quality of my sound system, and a little smoother high rev range.

 

How can you guys feel a difference between 1hp? I think your butt dyno is wrong.

I upgraded mine... but my car is 13 years old, and they looked really ugly (I am sure the wire was on it's last ends)... so it was more like a 'precaution one less thing I have to worry about' kind of thing rather than the let's install them and run to the dyno to see what kind of m4d gains I got.

 

Hondas are actually grounded very well from the factory. It might improve response feel but it's not like a subaru or mitsu, where the wires actually increase your hp by a lot.

This is really interesting why those wires make an improvement in mitsu or subaru. I don't think mitsu or subaru are designed and produced wrong and Honda is better in this matter.

 

i was wondering the same thing.. but people just said to clean the STOCK ground wires... coudd someone direct me to how many there are.. and what they look like ( pics)


btw.. 1995 Prelude with 129K so the engines kinda coroded


i think theres one coming off the - battery terminal and is bolted on top of the headligh???

 

up cuase im intersetd

 

bump for a cool dude

 

from intake manifold to chassis
engine block
headlamps
cylinder head
transmission
alternator

where they are im not sure because i have it swapped in my '00 Accord but just look in those areas

 

Ok, the answer to the thread title is: yes, ground wires work. If you don't think they work, remove them and try to start the car.
