grounding kit

got mine installed last month, DIY! connected it to alternator, cylinder head, intake manifold, transmission and car body. medyo matagal ang install kasi ginawa ko e hindi 5 pieces of wire, 2 pieces lang. 1 went to the car body, then the other went to tranny, intake manifold, cylinder head, then alternator. puro pig-tails lang from one wire at malaki yung wire na gamit ko, #4 awg.

noticed changes:
1. pag start ko ng engine, taas ng rpm nasa 1200 rpm. siguro dahil nanibago yung ecu. then slowly bumaba siya to 800 rpm at steady na siya dun.

2. nawala yung slight hunting na napapansin ko dati. dati kasi naglalaro sa 750-900rpm, ngayon steady na siya. magbago lang ang rpm pag nag-kick in ang a/c, tapos balik sa 800 rpm after 2-3 seconds.

3. lumiwanag ang headlights konti.

pag-uwi ko next month mag-add ako ng isa pang maliit na wire (#10awg) to the ecu. tinamad kasi akong kalasin yung glove box, e di ba andun sa likod nun ang ecu? saka palitan ko yung negative battery terminals. yun kasing oem isa lang na wire so gumawa ako ng battery terminal dito sa rig, 3 ang terminals. brass ang material para walang rust.

car is lancer mx nga pala. sorry no pics, wala ako digicam e. malabo naman kuha sa cellphone panget i-post.

i plan to upgrade my head lamps to 100w. so dapat mag upgrade ng headlight wirings n relays n sockets.

will these grounding kit conflict the headlamp wirings?
ano dapat mauna ko pakabit groounding kit o headlamp wiring upgrade?

thnx

nope, no conflict pards. ground wires will in fact complement your headlamp wiring upgrade. since mas malakas ang load, dapat mas maganda din ang ground. yung headlight upgrade mo will increase the capacity of the positive side of the electric circuit, the grounding kit will increase the capacity of the negative circuit.

pano kung may maling mangyari sa mga connections na ginawa ko. may masamang effect kaya? wala kasi akong alam sa ganyan. balak ko pa lang subukan.

salamat!

Short circuit... if you're not sure, let someone handle it for you. But don't worry, instructions (like those diagrams posted here) are pretty clear naman.

basically naman you will just be adding ground connections so i don't see any possibility of getting things mixed up. wala ka naman tatanggalin na connections, mag-add ka lang ng extra grounding.

kaya mo yan pards!

meron kaya grounding kit sa rey's o sa wizards?

how much kaya?

di ko kaya DIY e

had mine done at the carwash at examiner street..the one nearest to quezon ave. for 900 petot with kabit, ok na. beats the guessing where to put time..at medyo tamad ako sa kabit kabit na ganyan e.hehehe

i agree, the grounding kit will complement the headlight wiring upgrade.

pwede ba ito sa carb engines?

**yebo** · December 31st, 2004 02:54 PM

pwede sir. kahit diesel pwede. in case of carburated engines or diesel it's just to improve the elctrical grounding para mas maganda charging ng alternator at fully grounded ang starter motor. plus better grounding for the ignition system for the gas engine. ang connections will be sa alternator, engine block, car body and battery negative terminal lang, wala na sa intake manifold.

sa efi and auto tranny it gives better performance for the ecu.
