grounding kit

[bardigones]

Concept

On a normal system, electric current flows from a positive terminal to a negative terminal through the car body. But there are much resistance at connectors of body, engine and transmission. The resistance disturbs this flow of electricity to a degree that electrical components such as computer, lamp and spark plugs cannot perform at their peaks. In order to get the highest performance out of any automobile, it is necessary to achieve a maximum electricity flow with the least resistance along its electrical circuit.
In short, a grounding system does to your electrical circuit like a high performance intake & exhaust system does for the gas. We believe such system is the basic of all tune-up if you want to unleash the maximum performance of your car.



What does the Earth Grounding System do?

EGS can achieve an extreme improvement on electricity flow and stability by providing a direct ground path from the body, chassis and engine components to the battery negative.


What benefits does it provide?

* Faster engine start-up :
You can feel the difference even with A/C on and at maximum fan speed. This system reduces the loss of electricity to nearly zero at ignition coil and produces better ignition spark. This oscillograph indicates how voltage resistance drops at start-up with the EGS installed (right pic.).

* More stable idling :
You will hear your car engine noise quieter than before. This oscillograph shows the minimized resistance resulting from the installation of the EGS. Note the smaller waves & lower trace in the right pic.

* Smoother and faster throttle response
The upper green lines in both charts below has the Earth Grounding System installed. They indicate a higher torque & horsepower gain. Car used for this dyno test was a Lancer Evolution VI. A max. horsepower gain of 5hp and up has been achieved on a Honda Integra TypeR.

* Increase low & middle engine torque
It helps to achieve a close-to-perfect combustion at low or high revolution of engine, resulting in faster acceleration. A max. torque gain of 0.5kg-m and up has been achieved on a Subaru Legacy BH5.

* Better milage
In particular city driving. So this system does not just save you money on gas, but very ecological, too. One test even shows an MPG increase of up to 22% on a 1800c.c. test car.

* Better CPU operation :

* Cleaner exhaust gas :
Lower density of HC and CO.

* Brighter headlight output :
Improvement that you can see. Thanks to a better alternator performance.

* Improve car audio sound quality :
Improvement that you can hear. Thanks to an overall enhanced equipment performance including but not limited to: Car audio, power windows, power sunroof, etc.

any comments guys/gals?

i'll be DIY-ing my grounding kit this sem break...

[benchph1]

this is the DIY of the month sa HCP. already did it on my honda city and our kia carnival :D

[yebo]

what does the job involve? is it a simple installation of a ground wire on the engine to the battery/chasis/alternator?

paki-explain nga po. ty.

[benchph1]

basically you just tap wires from the negative terminal of your battery then bolt it to the electrical components inside the engine bay.

1. alternator
2. intake manifold (for EFI vehicles)
3. distributor
4. chassis (additional)
5. transmission (for A/T Cars)

[yebo]

so series lang from battery negative terminal to tranny-engine-intake manifold-alternator.

what is the recommended wire size?

[bardigones]

[bardigones]

[yebo]

so i guess the bigger the wire the better ha. kulit no? hehehe!

[impulzz]

does it work on diesel engines too?

[bardigones]

*yebo

sir, sa tingin ko the wire size/width should be the same with the ones that are connected sa battery terminals...

[JAYarc]

sa diesel yung mga accesories ang benifitiary.. di kaya madaling mapundi yung mga lights kasi max peak yung delivery..wala ng resistance!

[A121]

dapat at least 8 AWG yung wires mo...

[odell]

ayos yan may diagram na mismo

[bardigones]

anybody tried this yet?

[yebo]

sabi sa sites na nakita ko sa internet dapat at least size ng ground wire from the battery, which is 4awg. so yung ring connectors na gagamitin mo syempre for 4awg din.

tip ko sa inyo if you're planning to dyi: yung jumper cables na tinda sa sm mura lang, yun nga lang red and black yung color ng cables. that i think is around 4awg. so kesa maghanap ka ng wires sa hardware (most probably what you will find is the thick gauge stranded that is hard to work with) e bili ka na lang ng jumper cables then use those wires.

don't expect any jump in hp, it's mostly for better engine and tranny performance in terms of efficiency and especially recommended for cars where they the the condition of headlights dimming, which, according to them, is a sign of poor grounding.

[benchph1]

pinakamaganda bumili sa electronic spare parts and accessories shops, kasi nandun lahat ng kakailanganin niyo.

btw eto ngapala ung mga kelangan:

gauge 8 wires (about 4 to 5 meters) = 32 php / meter

ring terminals = 5/ pc x 10 = 50 php

heat shrink tube = 15 php / pc

ung heat shrink tube optional yan. ginamit ko lang sa connection ng ring terminal at nung wire para malinis tingnan.

tools needed:

pliers = to splice the wire and to clamp the wires unto the ring terminals
socket wrench = to remove/ tighten bolts
heat gun = for the heat shrink tube ( kandila na lang ang ginamit ko)

give it 3-4 hours para sa project na to, and as sir yebo said don't expect added hp coz this is just an "improvement" of the stock engine grounding.

ganyan po ang wirings ko sa jeep ko which is diesel. may cons nga lang. be sure to fasten the connections tightly sa chassis. a loose connection will cause sparks pag nagbukas kayo ng a/c, ilaw, etc. and eventually drain the battery. another method is not to cut the ground common wire you will use. ilatag nyo yung common wire then just peel the insulator sa spot na doon ipa-fasten yung mga connections. this will minimize loose connections.

[boybi]

hmmm, pwede ba yan sa mga diesel engines and/or new cars?

[GlennSter]

boybi..i think so.kasi actually, basic itong procedure na ito just to make sure na enough ang daloy ng kuryente sa system mo..i dont think naman na may masamang mangyayari...
