Someone told me the other day that if you make all the grounding points on your motor bigger gauge wire like 1 awg or something that it will help your car out a lot. does anyone know if this is true and if it really matters? sounded dumb to me but i dont know...

 

lmfao
you were looking at that grounding kit on ebay werent you.

 

ha na i didnt even think of that. i went to get remote start on my car and the dude was like " I use to have a B18 and i upgraded all my grounding and I could tell a difference, because it holds more voltage throughout the motor." I was like o yeah thats cool. but **** no i would never pay for that i can get free ground wire from my shop. i just figured i would ask.

 

Your engine will not gain any more power by doing this. It's good for audio systems though.

 

yeah thats what i thought. i just figured i would ask ha

 

the guy with the b18 was screwing with you, the only thing that you would gain from this is a better ground for audio.

 

woah, he was ricky bobby fast with that

 

yeah i was like o cool bro for sure ill do that.ha but i just couldnt get myself to believe it. but i guess thanks to me i gave yall a little laugh for the day for this foolish question ha

 

no question is foolish, if you dont know something ask. thats why hondatech was created bud

 

thats a true story

 

It will help your car start a little smoother. I put a grounding kit on my car, and the dash lights no longer dim when I flick on my rear defroster. But even if it did help "free up" horsepower, it wouldn't be anything you could actually feel regardless.

 

yeah well my dash lights are super duper dim. so maybe i should just put bigger gauge anyway see if it helps

 

yea so true also by moving the vtec chain to teeth it spool up to red line fast causing great output power to the wheels

 

 

x2

 

Yeah grounds are often overlooked. Its something I will be doing sometime. Just get some scrap amp wires and replace em. If nothin else it'll at least look better than the old factory grounds.

 

Yeah I agree with these guys, a grounding kit won't free up anything HP wise you could tell if any at all.

Now if you really want cheap and easy HP..you need to go get some ACP or your favorite stickers..the more stickers..the more HP.

 

Jegs stickers for the win.

 

plus the stock honda grounds suck. they just place the grounds over the paint. I kept my stock grounds. I cleaned them up ,cleaned and stripped the connection points to bare shiny smooth metal. I noticed easier start up and lights werent has dim.

 

indeed.

I missed this one.



Oh my....




...now I can't breath because I'm laughing to much...

 

well i have to disagree with ya...a good grounding kit will do more then just make ur lights brighter(theres a reason ur lights get brighter) better grounds=easier flow of power (b+) which means a lot on a car thats ran off a ecu (if it was a 79 chevy truck maybe not)

 

Ill drink to that. Only dumb question is the one that was not asked
