heh, clowns at Jiffy Lube lost mine, and the Suzuki dealership I bought my car at went under.

So for now it is aluminum duct tape with holes in it...

Once the new Suzuki dealership opens, I'll order an OEM one...

that wire has so much resistance I doubt you noticed anything at all other than the placebo effect.

Well, I know what you're saying... However, I went out and did some more driving and there were noticeable improvements when accelerating and shifting, as well as the other improvements I mentioned.

Not really... it's only 4 wires...

Would definitely be better with black wires...

Seemed to make a difference when driving with AC on, as well as holding power better when letting off the gas in low gear at high RPM</TD></TR></TABLE>

Also, it has been holding power better during shifts.

Re: Home Depot tuning back at it again... (B Speed)

And you found the wires at HomeDepot? I never could find good copper wiring when I tried to make one from HomeDepot. Did you test the wires with an ohm meter to see if there was any improvement in quality and size?

Re: Home Depot tuning back at it again... (ill phil)

yup. Home Depot is the place to be... Lowe's has it too. Same stuff, same prices basically.

I didn't test their resistance, but they are bigger than the stock grounds (which are 10 AWG)

No actually it's the camshaft cover cover

I still want to do this, 8 ga. wire will suffice. I have found that audio wiring is usually more flexible than the stuff you buy at the hardware store (made for home wiring). They usually also contain more copper in cross section due to having much smaller and many more strands than the hardware store stuff.

I made mine with Home Depot stuff a long time ago. Smoothed out my idle and allowed my accessories to work better. Definately worth the $10 I spent.
