Grounding Kit for the 3.0

does anyone have one, or use one?

I don't think they make one particularly for our car, but I found a universal one that APEX makes, what do you think?

i used a custom one that i made from 4g wire...you not gonna gain much power (although the hyper ground showed 10 whp on an integra ) but it helped if you need a stronger electrical system, i noticed the idle improved a lot and the headlights seemed a tad brighter, and no dimming from the lights when you rolled down the windows, or pushed the button when the were up, etc....

grounding is always good, help out electrical current flow

grounds are good, you dont want potential difference between any of the things that electrical parts are grounded to... so esssentially you tie together a lot of grounded items and teh neg post of the battery. ive seen grounds on block, tb, alt, intake (if its aftermarket), strut tower, firewall, neg post, transmission, and then one or two other points on the frame of the car.

very easy diy and can help a lot on some cars.

It's better to just upgrade the factory grounds. These kits have long lines of questionable quality wire. The high EGR will do more harm than good.
