did you guys get the kit for free???

 

no. 82 shipped.

 

This is 6-point kit. What is the OEM Grounding cables? I think they are only 2, no?

 

What color blue did you get lou????

 

Insane,

Can you give me the names of the BLUE wires in this group!!!!

THANKS!!!!

 

How'd I miss this thread?!?!??!
red please!

 

Scosche Blue - too dark, don't carry any more.
Stinger Blue - dead on match for the Z Daytona Blue.
Tsunami Blue - lighter.

 

BTW, the Blue in Lou's pictures, on the previous page, is the Tsunami Blue.

 

Thanks for the info!
Can you still get the Scosche Blue???
The Agean Blue Pearl is a little darker than the Z blue!!!
Let me know!!!

Also, did you design the kit for a car with the CAI???
Will it work the same with a car with the stock airbox????

Thanks again Anime!!!

 

Dont sell anything to this guy....he is a :pfawk:

j/k


Rol it was run with a CAI on the car....I think I read that someone with a TL and a stock air box had to make a slight adjustment...might want to read through the last few pages of this. Do you have a stock airbox stilll why so??

 

If I had my way I would make the following change.

12.) Remove the 10 mm bolt that holds down an orange connector on the driver side fender well.

13.) Using this bolt, place it through one end of the #4 wire and re-secure. Finger tight the bolt to allow for positioning of wires.

15.) Remove the nut holding the negative (-) battery terminal using the 10mm wrench. There is no need to remove the battery terminal.

16.) Attach one end of the #2 wire to the battery terminal and replace the nut.

17.) Remove the front bolt on top of the throttle body that holds the same metal tube bracket in step10.

18.) Using this bolt, place through the free end of the #2 wire and one end of the #6 wire and re-secure leave loose to allow for positioning of the wires.


I think this set up would be a better system AND it should take care of the stock air box.

Please let me know if the wire length is correct for this configuration, if anybody tries it.

 

Whats up Insaneamine,
I was wondering what is the size of the gold plated ring terminals, 5/16 or 1/4, or what? And would it be possible to use these these instead of the ones that are being used now. Would those make for a better connection? Anyhow, I hope to hear from you soon. I am going to get the kit from you, but in a few weeks when i get the extra cash. So let me know about those wire terminals, i would like mine to be different from everyone elses.

 

wana come buy v6p.net to make us some grouding kits? i'll come by for u to test fit one...can i get one in 0ga? for free?=) i'll pay the fee for a 0ga upgrade but do come by v6p.net...i'm sure u will get some business there

 

Why you trying to be like me :pfawk: hahahaha j/k yeah Insane....give this guy a PM he can help you out on the av6 page and he is local!

 

My cousin just bought a ’00 V6 Accord Coupe EX. The engine set up is nearly identical to the CL!

I am going to test fit the kit on his EX, make any adjustments, and let you know how things go.

I use 5/16th terminals. Those AudioPipe terminals look nice but they are way too bulky to be practical, especially when you have to put one on top the other. Not to mention they are a few dollars each! They also don’t offer any better connection to the wire over what I am using now.

Damn dude, 0 gauge wire is as thick as King Chile!!! What do you want that for??? Dumb question, I know. It might be fun to try, might get a little expensive though.

 

You missed my question!

 

No he just didnt want to answer you...can you blame him


j/k

 

i am going to be runnig my system soon...i guess 4ga will be enough...can u give a local a discount?=)

 

So, anyone else bought this kit? I want to order one, but I'd like to hear from some others that have already bought and installed it.

 

6 or 7 kits are out there now!

Yes, I can still get the Scosche Blue. However, I have to buy it by the 125 foot roll.

Local discounts do apply!!!

 

local discount? I wanna go pick one up... How far are you from Austin, TX?

Also, I'm all over that color blue that Lou has...

 

New Orleans, LA!!!

 

I got the kit. Installation took ~25 min. Quick and simple. Looks great. (sorry no digi cam). No change in power, but improved stereo sound as less engine whine.

Amine- you posted about making some changes to the kit which involed a connection at the battery. What was this in referrence to? Should I make changes?

Thanks,
David-

 

Ahhh so you noticed some improvment in the stereo...you have an aftermarket system??? This is where I thought would be the most difference

 

I only made the adjustment to accommodate CLs with the stock air box. However, it should work either way.

It is all the same really.

Instead of this:



I suggested this:



My only concern would be that the wire would need to be shortened an inch or so.

If you try it, let me know.

 

I just was curious if there was any benefit to grounding to the battery???

See my sig for stereo info. The sound is 100% better than the bose set up. I really did not want to get into ripping out the stock headunit and I like the "stealth" look in that no one wants to steal it - at least until they hear it. I have to admit that I had some concern about engine noise and the local shop admitted it would be a problem at very low volume (the car sounded supercharged), but that is totally gone!!!!

David-

 

Ahhh great!! See I had a 01 with my system in it and the stock HU and had the same noise. I thought with this kit once I re install my stuff it would take care of that noise. I am glad to see that it did!!


Awesome for the people that have aftermarket systems!! Insane maybe you want to post this in the audio section

 

well worth it!!!! I am fine with the stock headunit since I am not into the whole DVD thing for the car, but I really like clean sound and now I have it!!!! Anyone with a system should spend the few bucks and buy this kit! Plus it looks cool.

 

just got my kit, fast shipping and great packing

thanks!!!

 

NICE!!!! I LIKE ALOT!!! Looks like I may have to but a set too.

-Pimpd@ddy

 

No more reviews??? Does the kit only help the radio whine?

How about some install pictures???

 

im installing mine tomorrw. i will post some pictures when its done

 

Please could you refresh us on the colors ( link) (I like red to match Injen Vacum tubes) and actul price with shipping.

Also, in the above pics the Ground kit is not connected to the negative of the battery. Is this the correct installation?

Nashua.

 

InSaNeAmine,

I sent you a PM about getting a kit. Is there another address you are using for this?

 

Got mine in the mail today. will post pics later!

 

Here are a few pics, and install tips.



If you have a C/T ice box, and your bellows are rubbing against this orange plug, you can just bend the bracket up out of the way like this,

Also, the last step of the instructions tells you to bolt the last 2 wires here on the alternator, but the wires are so fat, that the plastic spark plug cover dosen't sit right with the wires under there.

So, I put InsaneAmine's instuctions to good use by using them to protect my alternator from metal shavings and drilled my own hole in the same bracket. there is plenty of room.

Voila!!!

more pics of my car, here!
Thanks!

 

how does it feel, how much you paid?. why it is not connected to the negative terminal of the battery.

 

Stereo sounds better, and everything seems smoother, but it just may be psychological. also, the wire going to the front of the airbox is bolted to the stock ground. mr. InsaneAmine says that the ground looks like a good cable. I might try his new suggestion and put that cable from negative terminal to the top of the throttle body.

 

I just ordered my set. Should get them on tuesday. I hvae a rought idle and I read that for some their idle got smoother so I'm giving this mod a shot. I'll post a review once I have them installed.

 

So $80 shipping included?
