A h-t member DewMota said that he rewired his whole engine bay and gained 12 whp is this true or what and is this worth doing?

 

Not an F ing chance. Maybe 1-2 hp if his grounds were reallllly shitty.

 

Honda's stock electrical system is nice, the ignition is some of the best in the market, minus are little problem with the hatcahi ignitors. I had a little extra dyno time and instead of getting my money back i thought i would go and try some things. The main idear came from jdmlifestyles wire harness job, all this grounding kit bs, and general automotive knowledge.
I took out the harness and jumped up to a high grade 14g wires for the ENTIRE harness. This took a week. It was insane ammount of work.. but the more a signal/current travels the weaker it gets. Look at the voltage from your alt to your headlights.. it does drop. So i replaced all the wires and connectors to full 14g, some area's i crimped down to 16g cuase of the adapters. With the wire harness done the bulbs, interior lights, everything jumped right up in light.

I then attacked the grounds.. i ran 8 and 12 gauge with high quality brass fittings and sanded down the surface for all. Connecting each in a circle pattern.

distrubtor.. this was a little over kill.. but thats just how i do it. I took out the ignitor and soldered a more complete connection on the terminals. I then put some pertective coating to keep it from corasion/elments. Replaced the cap/rotor and spark plugs and drove off. Nice diffrence.. my *** dyno said 15hp.. but it was hard to guage.

Got on the dyno and gained 12hp. Brighter lights in and out, and something to do for a couple days

So basically bs.

 

wow, who would have thought.

 

But what happens when he goes to fix something. All the wires are one color. right.

 

Any other opinions on this
