double post

[d4nt3]

2 wires are connected to the engine, then another to the transmission, then to the alternator then from alternator to the other side of body ground, and another to the chasis ground. tapos yung ibang wires ginawa kong bridge para yung ground parang 360 degree parang umikot ang ground sa bung engine bay lahat going to the battery
yung another 2 wires naka abang na para sa sound set up : isang wire going to the head unit and isang wire going to the capacitor

Thanks for the great info! Am very interested in DIYing this for my cars.

Just a couple more questions, if you don't mind ...

What did the dealer say about this mod? I'm thinking specifically about the warranty on the electricals.

Where did you buy the multiple-tap battery terminal?

Some people say their headlights are brighter and more consistent, stereo sounds better, ECU readings are more accurate. What performance improvement did you get?

I assume you used stranded wire?

Nice and neat mod installation. But the wires are longer, I guess the price you pay to achieve a very clean look.

I notice you have 3 direct taps on the positive terminal. Do you mind if I ask what accessories they supply?

Thanks po Liv & mile2 for the comments. My Innova E A/T Red will be out next week.

Thinking of upgrading to 17" wheels BLACK to match the door handles and side mirror.

Sir jay_el_330, sensya na po sa kulit... where & how much did you got your 3rd row tray, looks really good and functional...

Thanks

hehe DIY lang po ito sir, yup much longer ang wire so i used guage 4 oversize para di magkarun ng shortage sa ground power kasi mahaba...........

yung 3 direct taps on the positive terminal one is for the direct power coming from the capacitor for the sound system and the second coming from a relay for may fog lights, horn1 and horn2 the last wire from pivot volt stabilizer.....

nilagyan ko ng terminal para di magulo tignana ang wires plus mas madaling ma identify in case of emergency

sure np... i did not bother to ask in terms of warranty because im now rewiring already for installation of sounds hehe

yung multiple tap battery terminal i just DIY used 5mm stainless angle bar then trim to shape ...

yup noticed some changes especially sa transmission di ko na na fefeel yung shifting ng gear , idling di na nanginginig pag sabay on ng a/c and power window, sa stereo pag naka fm mas di na nawawala frequency ..

yup sir stranded wires po ito

According to dealers September 22

thanks d4nt3, malapit na pala to

What I like about black is ganda tingnan pag makintab lalo pag wet ang body or bagong wax sya. It's also a very elegant color, but you have to keep it clean & shiny, otherwise it shows dirt easier. Kung putik o alikabok mas angat pa nga ang dumi sa black kaysa white. Sabi nga ng isang friend ko, dapat may pagka OC ka sa cleanliness kung black ang oto mo.

Another nice thing is it easily hides minor dents and scratches. Yun lang angat naman pag maraming swirl marks. Again, dapat OC ka sa pag-punas ng car mo.

What I don't like, and you should take note of this if you decide to buy black, there are times I don't immediately see black cars when I'm parking 'rear end' first. This is not only at night but inside parking buildings as well. Basta medyo madilim yung lugar medyo mahirap na sya makita.

Also during night driving, there are a couple of times na muntik na ako makasagi ng black car specially if they're on my right. Medyo mahirap makita agad, lalo na kung stop & go traffic at nag-uunahan. This becomes worse ngayong madalas umuulan.

But as they say, "once you go black, you won't go back." I just don't know if that applies to cars as well

I totally agree with d4nt3 on this matter, i have also an Innova G DSL Black, totoong mas dumuhin ang black, pero kung kaya mo nman imaintain ng malinis to lagi... ang ganda at eleganteng tingnan ang black, chaka para sakin lng, pag black nakita kong innova na dumaan, cguradong high end variant yun, di mo na kelangan tingnan sa likod kung anung variant pa sya.

actually im in the process of choosing another vehicle again as my second ride, choosing between sta fe, 3rd gen CRV 2.0 or the new corolla altis G. honestly, gusto ko black uli sana, kaya lng since meron na ko, i'll go with a different color na lng this tym

[d4nt3]

thank u so much po...yes since ndi available ang red sa G variant...ill just go for the black one...nagsawa na kse ako sa light colored.ill just be more careful about it when driving at night

No problem, just my 2 cents worth.

BTW, I was talking to my SA and a service tech yesterday and they said I hope I don't get the medium gray. Nahihirapan daw sila mag match ng color. Tanong ko nga, akala ko pre-mixed na yung paint, they said, once applied, maraming feathering at rubbing ang kailangan para mahabol ang katabing orig paint at di mahalata na may retouch dun sa repaired area.

Nagtanong din ako sa kilala kong pintor/latero. Mas mahirap daw talaga habulin pag in-between ang kulay at lalo na kung metallic finish.

Just thought you should know...

I wouldn't have guessed that it just an angle bar... that's good thinking. I thought you purchased that commercially.

Thanks for the great info!

[albriones]

magtatanong lang po sa mga innova gas user... ano po FC nyo during your break-in period? mine kasi is 7.1km/L... and ano rin FC nyo after the break-in period... thanks...

mine is Innova G Gas M/T

Same with my first FC, gradually my FC was extended to 10-11Km/li. Driving style also is a big factor.

thank Mile2 for the reply...
sana taas pa FC ko after the break-in period...

sir jay_el_330

Thanks... kesa mag tanung tanung pa ako isa isa sa banawe...

Good workmanship on the grounding wires, na-reminisce ko tuloy yung mga lancer itlog at pizza ko, single pa kasi at walang anak.

My 2 cents on grounding is that the benefits are greater on older car , coz the elecrtical system deteriorates thru time...

[HUMABOL KA]

hello po mga sir ask ko lng po kung same engine pa rin po ba yung ilalabas na bagong innova ngayon oh bago na rin po ang engine niya pag nilabas na siya sa pinas?

[Mschumacher]

Its the same engine and body the only difference is the bumper, grill and headlamps.

[kopong02]
