my engine bay - grounding kit installed
Seems like some people install every cable to the battery terminal while the alternative is to daisy chain it.
Here is my install: daisy chain style
cable 1: battery negative terminal to transmission
cable 2: battery negative terminal - intake manifold
cable 3: intake manifold - alternator
cable 4: intake manifold - radiator mount/chasis
cable 5: radiator mount/chasis - cylinder head
old cable 1: battery negative terminal - chasis near passenger side
old cable 2: valve cover - chasis near radiator on driver side

I think it's better to run them all to the battery, but that's just me.
Also your valve cover ground should go on one of the actual bolts near the front edge, not on the timing belt cover.

u didn't do the engine to chassis......yea the end doesn't go to the top of the valave cover is goes on the other ones.....if you have audio system you'll feel a difference.

you should get a ground strap for 5.00 for the valve cover to the front, where that ugly orange wire is, i have one on mine, check out my webpage for pic
good job by the way!!

Is that the only wire that makes a difference for an audio system?

yes it does serve as a better ground. I suggested it because you did the whole grounding kit. As far as my guestbook, i really could careless... if i did care then i would delete them, i think it is funny to see what people have to say, half those people probably don't even have a car anyways, or if they do its a peice of ****!!!!!! its all good

My friend installed the Hyper Ground Kit from Sun Auto and It actually works. We noticed that the car starts up better, the HIDs on his car got a bit brighter and the stereo sounds cleaner. The kit he got was the silver series one from Sun auto and it has gold plated ends on it. I think it looks cooler than the amount of performance you get from it.

you know this grounding kit thing is getting ou of hand. This is my point take it or leave it. Your spark plugs use electricity. In order for electricty to flow it must go in a loop. It starts at the battery wich is grounded flows to the item say your stereo which is grounded it flows in a loop. Well the ground on your spark plugs is the threads which hit the head which should be grounded to the frame like that battery. If you ground suck s like the stock one does than you are not getting full spark. Anyone that has messed with high power amplifiers knows that alot of performance can be gained by making sure you ground is absolutelt bare metal and perfect. Same for you engine and there is no way the stock grounding straps are worth a ****. I think there is benefit in this mod just based on the priciples of electricity.
