Alright, I know this topic has been beaten with a bat, but nobody ever posted dynos with the Hyper Ground kit installed on their cars. Anybody do a dyno before and after with these? I've seen everything from 10HP increase, to smoother idle, to this is plain crap. Anybody got real proof, consensus seems to be the latter of my three findings?

Nobody has ever done a before and after dyno of the 2nd gen CL on here of any grouding kit. Hope that helps.

my persoanl opinion is that its a good mod to do deep into your list...im thinking about it ...if its 2-3 ill take it and hey it cleans up the engine bay a touch...BTW i will do mine in black

rtatsutani

Thanks R, will add it on my to do list down the road. Guess for $100 you can't go wrong.

What? Not gonna make it yellow or blue? Let it stand out a bit, be a little flashy? Ah, guess black will keep it clean lookin.

Just make it yourself, head to any audio store buy some cables and connectors, than look for a kit online that is build for this car and jsut follow it using the cables u make

its not the same, the best kit has special wires, now i don't know if you know this or not but electricity travels on the outside of the copper wires, not through them, and most of the cheap kits have a really low strand count, the sun automotive grounding kit has 1477 strands of 99.9% pure copper, then they are plated to protect form corrosion, take a look here to learn more about them sun auto hot earth kit

"now i don't know if you know this or not but electricity travels on the outside of the copper wires, not through them,"

This is known as the skin effect, but it is only true of high frequencies, the higher the frequency the more the current flows on the outside of the wire, for DC the current flows through the whole wire( no skin effect). Since the car's electrical system is DC, I wouldn't expect much skin effect occuring.

"will add it on my to do list down the road. Guess for $100 you can't go wrong"

Send me the $100. I'll light 25 candles at my local church and say 5 rosaries requesting your car get a 10.9% increase in bhp - YOU CAN PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER! Hey for $100 you never know?

civicking

ok yeah that tru i forgot about that, never mind on the last post, still the calces are thicker then stock,a nd also no corrosion on them, so they will allow for a better connection.

can u see the cables?
Im confused, Is this worth the $$ or just a waste?

i did the ground kit..i got it from someone who makes them for the 350z's....it was 80 and is good wire....i cant say if it gave me performance but it created a whine inside my car.?.?....i honestly like it just to accent the engine bay

Bobbydoedoe

i got my kit from that same person. I do notice that the shifts are smoother, and it starts easy than again it might be a mind set

Allout

Was that from the grounding kit or the stickers

Save your money...it can be better spent on other mods with proven gains like a UR crank pulley.

johntypes

I dyno before and after

rtatsutani

You will dyno or have dyno'd? If you have dyno'd what's the numbers

notcreative

anyone have any pics of these on there car???

phipark

What's to see? They are just wires running mainly around the outer edges of the engine bay.
