bolts are fine to ground. Talk to Tommy Guns (only person I can think of off the top of my head that has the system) about where exactly if you are worried about it.

So... do you just run a new ground wire from each of those to a common ground on the frame?

Re: Hearthing system connections ? (RagingAngel)

Re: Hearthing system connections ? (bluesaint)

sounds good....

do you run a separate wire from each of the listed sources to the single point? or do you daisy-chain them

Re: Hearthing system connections ? (servion)

you missed the ground from the valve cover to the front radiator support.
I too would like to know how to make your own grounding kit.
Will 8 gauge cabel be ok?

Re: Hearthing system connections ? (Padawan)

Hey thanks for the info on the grounding kit! I have one question tho. Do you daisy chain the wires together or does each grounding point have to go to the negative terminal with separate wires? Thx man

Most kits I've seen installed had each wires run to the negative on the battery.

Unless you have some monster audio system, the stock grounds are probably fine.

Re: Hearthing system connections ? (TheGSRGuy)

The Spoon grounding system I just purchased only had the following:

Negative Terminal Ground
Alternator Ground
VTEC Solenoid Ground
Front Head Ground
