Someone Please Clarify, cause im trying to cut down on wires...


Tranny Ground
Fuse Box
Valve Cover
Thermostat
Battery


?

 

are you serious? you want to remove grounds, OR BONDING conductors as maybe better described?

hahahahahaha. why the hell would u wanna do that.

 

hes concerned about the weight of the wires duhh.. take them all off and see what happens. dare you..

 

he might be getting longer ones and tucking them

 

lol don't take any grounds off! while your thinking about it though, if you got an older car and some spare time then you should look for grounds or bonds that are bad or broken and try to replace them if your bored. (rather than ******* up your car to reduce a couple pounds of wire) Maybe YOU should lose some weight instead. if you lost 5 lbs you'd lose more than what you would if you removed 90% of the grounds in your car jk of course. Bonds are there to allow faults in current to go somewhere other than your key electrical components. Your battery (or lightning etc.) can produce retarded amounts of current that could torch anything not grounded in your car. The grounds provide a path away from your electronics to your frame of your car which may dissipate the charge or absorb?(don't know if thats completely the best way to describe it)

 

you got a 9second car? thats disgusting

9 seconds at 75mph is obviously not a 1/4 mile time.

 

if youve seen his bay b4 youd prolly guess he doing another tuck. I think you need to leave all of those maybe route them different. sry cant be much hlp

dude I think you're trying to sound smart here, and as an electrical engineer, I can see right through the big words into the big steaming pile of BS

anyways, you have the right idea.

Keep in mind there is a good deal of fusing on all that stuff. The reason grounds are everywhere like that is so you don't build up a bunch of potential (voltage) in unwanted places, which could cause arcing in the case of the starter, or just plain cause things to run wrong, a lot of the components on the engine depend on the engine itself being a big ground, which is why the engine block and trans casing are grounded so well.

Evan: Make sure you keep the fusebox, battery to body, body to trans, valve cover to body, and the thermostat housing ecu ground in tact, thats all you need under the hood, though more grounds never hurts.

I don't think this was for weight loss purposes anyways guys, I'm pretty sure he just wants to tuck/remove as many wires as possible....

 

haha , this caused some unwanted turmoil

maybe i wasn't clear... I am redoing everything in my bay (see my thread) and I was wondering about extending wires and using thicker gauge wiring for my grounds to hide them... I actually have added grounds (IM to chassis, and dizzy to chassis), but i will be Hiding the grounds as best i can


Thanks gags

 

instead of trying to sound smart. all u need to no is U NEED GROUND. the more ground the better.

your brain is small.

 

ooohh ya ur correct 07 noobie

haha u can lock/delete this thread

 

hahahah that was some funny posts, shiet! and yeah i was trying to sound a bit smart but if he and everybody else who reads this link learns how important your bonding wires/ ground wires are then people will be more carfull about what they tamper with. You remove some grounds even by accident when removing system grounds you end up with unprotected componets.
