I've seen many people on here make custom grounding kits.

When they do this is it just a bunch of heavy guage wire?

I figure yes because it's just suppose to distribute the electrical current but I don't know for sure.

Any advice would be great

 

Basically, you summed it up. Heaviest gauge you can afford, and some high-quality ends. Cut to length and install. And then HOPEFULLY you notice a difference (I never did).

 

did your car still shock you with the grounding wire?

 

any ideas where to get a good round center metal piece to attach the wires to?

 

Why? Just daisy-chain it. That's how many systems work.

Yes, your car will still shock you. That's a different ground system.

 

Anyone got a diagram on where to daisy chain it to and from then. Never actually seen this done. Thanks

 

I've post the steps in a couple threads; just do a quick search... And no, the grounding kit you're wondering about doesn't stop the "shock treatment."

 

there's a lot of threads. run a search like ^^^ said.

here's a diagram : https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/at...chmentid=80906

 

You have to keep in mind that a grounding kit only increases performance if it is tested on a dyno. The professionals who do this try multiple configurations, testing each one on a dyno to determine which configuration gives the best results. Even then, they are just squeezing the last 1% of the horsepower they can get. Although I can't vouch for how it helps a stereo system, don't expect any horsepower gains from our Lancer, even if you do spend a day and hundreds of dollars dyno tuning it.

 

Hey, just wired up my Ground kit today. made a custom negative battery bolt on terminal out of a chunk of an old kitchen sink.. a plasma cutter.. and some bolts and a new F-ed up drill bit.

now heres the question... got about 80 feet of Red OFC Stinger 1/0 gauge wire hangin around and the same thing in 4 gauge...

go with the 4? go with the 0/1?

cause i mean cmon.. 0/1 is huge ****... were talkin 200+ ampers capability, how much does the car REALLY need that...

 

I read in a past thread you want 0 gauge... if you cant get it then either 1 or 2. someone can correct me if im wrong.

 

im more curious as to the quality of ground is really needed if the sell the car minus the grounds anyways... i think ill use 4... 0 is like an inch thick... overkill me thinks... i just dont wanna cheap out where i shouldnt.
