Default Fields SFC--VTEC unit grounding

Hi,
I don't have a harness for this unit, so I must wire it myself. I found a nice write-up about wiring particular sensors etc, so that's not a problem. But SFC must be grounded somehow. Could anyone explain how should I do that?
TIA

But VAFC is supposed to be grounded to the same ground as ECU, that's why I'm confused. What is more it must be grounded with two wires and one of them must be closer ECU than another one. Damn, I'm lost.

well the ECU is ground on the engine where the thermostat is, it connects to the bottle neck part of it. the other ground I'd say would be chasis
