DIY Grounding Cables ???

So basically grounding cables is aomething that you can throw together with a clamper and solder, right? If so, does anyone know where to find one? If not, let's start gathering our knowledge to creat a DIY!!!

THanks Man !

What are you trying to provide a ground to? Are you talking about the ground strap that goes from the battery to the chassis?

Not worth the trouble of making one. Just go to the dealer and buy one.

for an extremely low resistance connection you can buy welding cables and put battery clamps on them. i think it's almost impossible to say though whether or not you will get any benefits over the OEM honda cables though. i haven't done enough research to say.

i will say that on subaru's, for example, an upgraded ground layout works wonders. i have seen dyno's return up to 10hp gains from this. now i also believe subaru just has a shitty ground layout on their cars to begin with. and yes, bad grounds will sap your engine through many possible paths (i'm an electrical engineer, i know this stuff, and i also had it happen to me when i used to own a ford taurus).

try it, let us know if you get a smoother idle or increased gas mileage. it's entirely possible you may.
