Grounding Kits

From NEMEASYS:

Grounding Kit

Alright a couple of people have been asking how to install these. Sam sent me a message the other day asking me to tell him how I did it. So I decided to write a "How to" on it. Now I got the real kits cuz I'm lazy (like 400$) but you can easily make your own using 8 gauge wire for a fraction of that price.

This is what the Hyper Voltage System looks like (you can ground the car without the Voltage System but I took it because it hooks up to the Gounding Kit and the 2 together give maximum performance)


As you can see the Voltage System hooks up the battery terminals only


One of the wires goes from the Voltage System to the chassis


Another to the engine block (I used the little bolt to the right side of the exhaust mani)



The 3rd wire goes from the Voltage Kit to the alternator


I used the remaining wires to go from the alternator to the chassis again then from the chassis to the throttle body


Shots of the entire system



If you don't have a Hyper Voltage System, you can start your 1st wire from the negative battery terminal or a good ground from the chassis.
Enjoy!

how many feet total is that?

I know http://www.sportcompactonly.com sells a great grounding kit, and its pretty affordable.

Whiteraven, is that the NRG ones or the SCO?

Is it real, that sportcompactonly just charges $5 for Shipping and Handling? I've gone to the checkout and the S+H has always been $5.

Usually shipping is caculated by the weight of the product, shipping dimensions, etc....but they recently changed their in-house systems, so some things have changed since I left.

I bought a kit from ebay for about 40 bucks.

Installed it today in about 2 hours, it looks good, the car started and everything worked...no harm done LOL, now I'll see if I notice any improvements...

What improvements does this provide? I thought this was only necessary if you are running MSD ignition...

[Ron-E-Babe]

I read that it's SUPPOSED to improve the electrical performance of the entire vehicle. ie; smoother idle, brighter lighting, ect. ect. For 40 bucks, why not try it was my thinking.

Let us know what you think about it. I have my doubts about this mod on any car, but I proved myself wrong after doing it to my old Subaru. Ran smoother on the freeway and the lights didn't dim when the stereo hit. It just 'felt' better, tough to explain. I'm curious how it is on the aveo though.

What size guage of wire?

If for electricity the lower the gauge the better conductivity then would it not be true for grounding wires?

I can't really tell what gauge the Nemesys's Sun Hyper Ground wires are.
I've seen 4 gauge wires at http://www.sportcompactonly.com
and 8 or 12 gauge NRG wires at http://www.sportcompactonly.com and http://www.cardomain.com.
Then the ones on ebay which are 8 guage.

Also I'd like to know if the set-up of 5 wires from the battery is better or if the NRG wires with the centered hub is better?

What have any of you tried?
