Re: Anyone have pics of the earthing system installed on their engine?? (electronspeeder)
I made my own, I tested the resistance between the points I added the grounds to and Before my Highest difference was about .9
Now The whole engine bay is the same as the resistance from the battery to the end of the 6" main ground.
IM me tommorow to remind me to take pics.

I made my own earthing system. My ITR feels more responsive. HP or torque gains would have to be dyno proven.
Alot of people have this on their cars, I'm surprised nobody has dyno it. Maybe they have and don't want to talk about their 0 hp gains

If you recondition your stock grounding wires, you'll feel the same! Been there done that. Don't waste any money!

Did I notice a difference with mine? Car seems to idle smoother than it was, starts a bit quicker, oh and I gained like 50hp
(Hope people realize the last one was a joke)Here are the pics I promised.

They have yellow guts as you can see on the valve cover 
PS Even the Res Covers are Blue now
If you want the Mugen ones they're yours (Finally)

mike, did you cut those wires and put the ends on yourself or you did you buy them like that?

Look at the accessories, then look at the second page of wire...typically sells for ~$100.00 per 250ft roll here http://www.cardiscountstereos.com/Ca...ct+%23=STB8250

I'm glad to see I'm not the only foo who used 4 gauge grounding wire. Maybe I should post pics of my setup as well. I only have it on 4 points at the moment; VTEC solenoid, intake, alternator and engine block. I want a centrallized grounding point (the battery), so I will do the tranny and thermostat later on this week.

2 Questions about this Earthing System.
Does it make a Diffrence (does the engine run better,could it damage anything)???
and Where are the Mounting points?
many thanks...

Sorry but Not True. I just put New wires (High quality 4 gauge) in the stock places and you know what? No change in the resistance at certain points on the engine or engine bay.
Did I notice a difference with mine? Car seems to idle smoother than it was, starts a bit quicker, oh and I gained like 50hp (Hope people realize the last one was a joke)

between the bolt and the valve cover...
both are going to aluminum...
the bolt to the valve cover is metal, but the cam cap it's bolted to is aluminum.
samething...
aluminum has conductivity, just not as good as metal...
but, in this case, both are grounded to essentially aluminum.
