I just bought the Pivot earthing system and the diagrams are very vague, Also do not know any body that can translate.

Can anbody help me with the grounding points? Its for my '00 Honda civic.

(NO haters please, i dont want to hear it).

 

do the diagrams show any familiar locations? can you scan the image for us? how many wires came in this kit?? that way we can tell you where you can ground them. start off by trans, block, head, bolt by the vtec solenoid, alternator.. etc..

 

pm spoonek2 on here ..i believe he did something similar

 

not too sure about the locations, but i know on a dyno a test car lost power with a earth ground mounted too close to the distribuutor... give the locations and maybe every one can give feed back. I know another one mounts to the valve cover near the plugs.

 

Gonna scan,...back with scan of package in a few..

 

I wanna see the results too. I did a custom ground system on my civic and i'm not sure if I did it right. I just read in import tuner where they put a ground on a car and lost power with the ground near the distributor. I'd like to see what grounding points different kits suggest for civics.

me2me2..list locations...thanks

 

 

I bought it in its unopened box for 30 bucks,..(my icy hot stunna friend bought it but needed cash, he sold it to me).

 

man, that scan is way too small...

 

true that

 

Stand by..

 

looks like they want one of the bolts on the top row of the intake manifold.

 

Best i could do with the scanner i have.

 

yeah those pics are too little, blow them up if you can so that each window is one od the diagrahms. In the magazine it said to start the number one on the chassis ground ground one somehwere near the distrib (not to close) another to the plug wires, another 'secret location but the last wire regrounds on the chassis.. (all the Sunauto hot earth grounding system... keep up the good work!

ohh yeah use adobe or some pic edit to change the image size then re-save an re-post

 

I am really bad with computers, i will ask my gal to help me out so you guys can get a clearer view.

(Tomorrow project..sorry, gotta work early).

 

Yea, that pic looks good but is hella small. If you can, adjust the scan size percentage settings. And make the scanning area selection be just the graphic ares and make a scan for each graphic. That way, you'll have a large scan picture for each graphic. Well, I'm about to go yank the distributor ground off my car. Thanks for the pics though.

 

 

I built my own earthing kit. all the wires go from the negative terminal of your battery and the other ends goto anywhere metal that has electical connections or sensors. I chose:

transmission
block
intake manifold
valve cover
Throttle body
Chasis
fuel rail

I also removed all the original grounds and sanded the contact points to bare metal if they were painted.







total cost: $15 Canadian works like a charm

 

Heres how mine turned out.

I read in Import Tuner that they mount too close to the distributor and they lost power.

 

I put mine on the head, fuel rail and on the Vtec solenoid, (as well as other ground spots on chassis).

I heard that going too close to the distributor would lose power also.

 

there's gotta be a neater way! it looks like someone threw up spaghetti in your engine bay.

any noticeable difference?

 

I dont think mine looks too bad ...

I guess if you wanted to be **** about the cleanliness you could run the wires down the side of the fenders and use black tubing to hide them.

Effort vs. reward i guess.
