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 !

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.
