I got my Mugen Ground Cables yesterday, according to them they dyno up to 2-4 whp lol, and get ya an average of 1-2 more mpg's.

Cant say for sure whether they do all that or not, but it did smooth out the idle like they said they would, pretty inexpensive so a good buy!

 

1-2hp or not... still looks like a rats nest.

I was given a grounding kit by one of my friends with a shop last year for christmas.. and I sold it
Too much clutter

your right. it doesnt look very pretty

 

Nope its not as you can tell from the picture it was raining and I just wanted to hook up and see if it did smooth out the idle, im going to of course re-route them to make it a little neater. Ive noticed that the typical civic tic has gone away since putting them on there though.

 

Holy Cluster Fu*k of wires batman. There was no other way to like run the wires that looks really sloppy.

 

are you sure thats a real mugen item?

 

I don't think that's a real Mugen product.

Let me guess, you bought it off of eBay right?

 

umm educate me people but what are ground cables mugen???? regular ground power cables????

 

WELL I WAS ORIGIONALLY LOOKING FOR THE HKS WIRES BUT I WAS HAVING NO LUCK FINDING EM, I WENT TO A PLACE BUY ME HERE IN MICHIGAN CALLED DETROIT SPEED SHOP THEY ARE THE ONES THAT GOT THEM FOR ME. THEY SAY MUGEN ON THEM, THEY CAME IN A MUGEN BOX. DONNO FOR SURE I GUESS, BUT THIS KIND OF ITEM I DONT REALLY THINK ITS GONNA MATTER

Is the Mugen emblem ingrave in something or embossed into the cable lines? Or is it a Mugen sticker (fake Mugen product).

I have been looking at a number of JDM sites and products and have yet to come across the ground cables.

 

ITS ENGRAVED INTO THE TERMINAL CONNECTOR PLATE, WHERE ALL THE WIRES ATTATCH

 

Is your capslock stuck?

On new, modern cars, grounding kits like this do...nothing.

If your existing wiring was corroded, or the terminals were caked with oxidization, and contact points were being compromised, then this would make sense.

 

haha no but im at my parts desk and our system only recognizes caps so i just forget.

if you dont think they do anything thats fine but im just saying it makes a noticeable difference in the idle.

 

That is an interesting observation. Was the idle rough before for some reason?

 

since like 2002 honda civics have always had that tic in the idle and a vibration while at idle, tic is no longer as noticeable nor is the vibration @ idle

Had an auto 02 LX coupe prior to my 06 Si. Never noticed it on either car, but maybe its just me.

 

my 02 si, was very noticeable my buddies use to tease me about it saying whats knocking already, same thing with my 06 FG1, its just the way they idle. take a listen to your 06

Placebo.

 

haha i new that was gonna be said sooner or later as i use that all the time with many things.

example (since I will defend this to the end lol)at night got your head lights on, you roll up your window, you notice the lights dim, well mine do not do that anymore.

 

This is what they are for and designed to accompolish.
Improved idle and drivability are often obtained as the additional grounding points equalize resistance and voltage between various ground points. Direct ground path from battery negative to body, chassis and engine components, making for better electrical circulation.

by the way-my crazy *** kid brother has to take riddalin or whatever for adhd, if he doesnt take it hes a freak, but when i give him an aspirin instead hes fine cuz he thinks he took his medicine==PLACIBO!

how much did you waist on that ****??

 

haha I wasted 28 bux, didnt even have to empty the whole penny jar!

good thing huh?

 

For 28 bucks noone can really hassle you too much either way. If you'd spent ~$100 or something even I would rag you for it

 

yea i mean i wouldnt back a 30 dollar mod if it didnt work, i would call it a hoax pos. but it works for what it says it does so for the money i gotta give it attention.

 

well as nice as you make it sound... $30 is worth it...

HOWEVER, the engine (already cluttered) looks even MORE cluttered. Not that I spend a lot of time looking under the hood, showing it off, etc... but I can't stand to see the clutter

What does this do to warranty though?
