    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?

    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.

    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)

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

    what is the recommended wire size?

    does it work on diesel engines too?
