Alight here's my predicament... i got bored today and started reading a little on DIY grounding kits. I've decided to try to make one. the only problem is all the "how to" threads are so old that the pictures are down. I also don't believe there is anything about this subject in the ITR FAQ. So I'm reaching out for help from you guys.....does anyone wanna show me a picture or diagram of exactly where any/all the Grounding points are to properly ground your engine bay....

I'm sitting with wire and soldering iron in hand......

 

Here is a thread I came across on TI:

I ran mine to the alternator, the head, the tranny, the starter, a 2nd ground for the battery itself, a supplement to one of the factory grounds for the headlights, the intake manifold...I can't remember where else. I'll be happy to take pictures for you if you'd like.

that's would be helpful

 

Please do, this is a project I have wanted to do for quite some time. Lazyness owns me though.

I did almost the same thing. Made some new grounds and re-did the OEM grounds. Used 4 gauge wiring, some nice ring terminals, and heat shrink tubing to make it look pretty.

 

Mine are a little tacky...they're red cables from an ebay set I had laying around from a couple of years ago. IMO they do the job though. I'll try to get pics after work tonight.

 

Mmmkay...pics finally uploaded.

Any questions feel free to ask...

 

good ****

 

Do grounding kits make a difference or benefit any?

 

they sure do, i have been doing them as a hobby for years, done over 30 different cars, heres a kit in my (now sold) type r



(ignore the arrow i was showing the kink in the fuel pressure regulator hose)

 

VTEC Solenoid
Intake Manifold, IAT Sensor
TB, MAP Sensor and TB Sensor
These three are a must. I charted the sensor voltage with my Hondata S300 before and after. There is a huge difference in the voltage variation.

Replace the stock ground lines on these or use in addition;
Transmission
Valve Cover
Body Ground
