Does anyone know where I can pick up a Mugen grounding kit for my rex.
FYI my kw varient coilovers should be ordered in two days
Hopefully the best 1700 I will spend

 

Don't waste money. Make your own.

Don't waste your time. Leave it alone.

 

Hey thanks for the pic. I figured the mugen ones would save me some time but now I will prob make my own.

 

I pretty muck can't, my ground wires are pretty well messed up.

 

Go to an audio store and get some 4GA wire with gold ends, put it together and tell me how it works...

 

Dont spend alot of money on it, and dont do it unless youre bored. You wont see any gains, or any difference at all for that matter, over stock grounds.

 

There is no such thing as Mugen ground wires.

HAHA, won't see any gains, funny stuff there budrow. My good friend who used to work at a Honda plant in Rome, GA- who was a chemical paint engineer told me about how years ago one of his collieges (some japanese dude's name i can't pronounce) picked up 15 WHP from upgrading his grounds. This was way before the "hyper grounding" kits were all the raze over here.

I haven't gotten bored enough yet to do this myself, and heck if it will make my h4h bulbs a lil brighter that's enough for me.

 

the mod DOES improve hp on certain cars....nissan's 350Z comes to mind...dyno proven increases on that ride...dunno bout the honda motors' benefit from it though

I completely agree running a ground or any wiring config with better continuity on any car will give you an increase of power. A lot of people think its a myth but it does work. Dont expect a large gain which is very obvious just expect a a few ponies or even less

 

i bought those braided wires for the bling affect, they look pretty sweet

 

W3RD, I am doing this project soon... Its a no loss... specially on a little 1.6: the less voltage draw, the better.

Exactly...physically, mathematically and electrically it will help (if you look at the properties of electrons). Especially if you plan on upgrading ignition and running higher compression/turbo.

Its common sense, if youre stereo works, engine starts, and lights burn, then youre grounds are fine. But if you want them, then more power to you.

 

i kinda doubt the performance gains, but new/better grounds helped my car's lights get brighter and start quicker.

Just because the stuff works, doesnt mean it is working at its best.

Yea: they get brighter because the is less voltage draw somewhere else... to the alternator can handle the voltage!

what the **** did you just say? I hope you didnt just ask if the alternator could handle the increased voltage, because if you did, you are a complete fucktard.

 

answer your original question as to where to get them?

Ebay they are on there for $25 BUT IT NOW but with $17 in shipping WTF?

Yea, I am sure it can handle it... but it has to work harder, meaning that it draws more power from the engine.

 

hmm

I just made my own grounding kit and it made a huge difference. The car accelerates a lot smoother, my lights are brighter, and the car idles super smooth now. My old grounds were corroded from 13 years of chicago winters. Make your own grounding kit, it makes a big difference and was less than $20 to build

yes for a stock engine...but if you want to run something like an MSD external coil in the future...you'd better have some beefier grounds or you are defeating the purpose and straining the system.

People dont major in electrical engineering for nothing you know... (not me i'm mechanical )

 

Where did you guys get the large ends/terminals to make your own grounding kit?

I've been having some trouble finding some that are the perfect size.

actually its not and your statement is commonly ignorant. "ground" voltage is a floating value, and true voltage is just the "potential" or difference in voltage between the + and -. if you can insure the negative is as low as it can be, then you have increased the voltage or potential, making more power (not hp, just electrical) how that affects the various components depends on the component, but take for example the fuel pump, its typical that the voltage at the fuel pump is not quite 12V due to resistance in the wiring and connectors. if you can optimize that, then the pump will flow proportionately to the increase in voltage. headlights are another example, as someone mentioned their own experience. im not saying these ebay kits are guaranteed power, but the theory of improving a vehicles grounding system is like giving your car a tuneup, it doesnt *make* horsepower, it just makes everything more efficient.
