does doing grounding really improve your car performance?

[anakin]

does it really improve your car performance like those said in this forum? anyone have any experience on it? can give some advice?

 

[gohkokeng]

what's a grounding?

lol

 

[moonbiker]

I installed grounding wire for the first time on my old saga with a wira EFI engine...did wonders for the pickup (the wira engine was badly tuned prior to the installation).

The grounding wire has nothing to do with the tuning IMHO, but it probably helped with the electrical distribution/current, thus creating an engine that was firing more properly (again, i'm no car expert...just my laymen's experience here).

Im now a true believer in the power of a good set of grounding cables that have been properly installed.

Good luck with yours!

so, it does give a different uh..... how much does it cost n where did u do urs? any advice for me?....planning to install it soon.

u can mainly feel the diff with old cars (not very grounded)...

anakin : go ahead and ground ur ride.:_:

 

[huakenny]

it of coz will gv effects to ur ride....but make sure u ground it to the right point with the right thing.....

for customized or aftermarket readymade grounding....u can surf it at 'The Marketplace' in zth salesplace....few sellers are providing this kind of services included myself...

Normally, there are 2 sizes of the cable.. 4AWG and 8AWG size.....these two are trhe most members using...however, budget is an issue in determine which package to go for.

Hopes my info helps....

if u wan take brothers stuffs...beter get it from Ijoe(zth seller)....same stuff at lower price....rm58 or lower if not mistaken

If ANYONE of u wants to get a good set of grounding kits/voltage stabalizers with GOOD WORKMANSHIP (this is FARKING important i tell u) ... You BEST get them from either C-ground or Huakenny in ZTH, these two sellers are EXPERIENCED n PROFESSIONAL grounding specialists that r serious in giving u buyers/friends the best in grounding.

If you wish to get from any other grounding sellers (example that seller that Huakenny mentioned in his above post) , then do it at your own risk... dun say i didnt warn you after u get crappy workmanship (or non at all altho u were assured), n bad aftersales service.. so, good luck.

EDIT : you can forget about getting it from Brother's shop too, u'll regret it.

grounding only help to improve the electrical flow and making the firing (spark plugs) become more efficient. other than take, im not sure...

for what i know, if you're not involved in ICE (where it required more power and better flow of the electric), then install or without install, doesnt make any much different.

anyway, is my opinion only... dont take it too serious :D

my post on above it just showing that brothers is selling it. they does have the sample/display on the grounding fitted on the engine for you to view. if you are unclear what is it, then go to brothers and see it. just see it only.. dont need to buy :D

You know, when this grounding hype came up a few years ago, I found it almost impossible to believe the claims the sellers of these items gave. But now after so many years and so many people claiming there is a difference, its hard to argue of the benefits of this.

Fluffy above made a good point about old cars. If you have an old car and work on it you'll realise that over the years, parts start rusting and the grounding goes. An example would be a front indicator light that suddenly just keeps blowing and its almost impossible to trace the problem thru conventional means. The answer would be rust and lack of ground so the light keeps blowing.

With that in mind and our National Cars wonderful QC and people with National Cars reporting rusting, it wouldn't be hard to believe that a grounding kit would make a difference especially with pick up cause the grounding helps improve the sparks in the combustion chamber, hence better pick up/power.

I would however think it would be hard to notice any improvements if you drive a modern Beemer or a Merc or any car like that.

erm...be frank....grounding mostly for japanese cars.....as for beemer n mercedes...i did believed there oledi hv a set of good oem grounding so dun need extra....maybe a vs will helps.....because most continental cars i saw is with aftermarket vs.....seldom installed grounding unless older version....

my 2 cents

 

[bbb7]

im having 4awg grounding wire on my EFI proton.............
don feel any different at all...............
however, it's a good decoration items for ur engine bay if u can get it at a good price

it will surely gv u an effect.However, it depends on how n where u grounded.

 

[arsenalfc9]

From wat I've heard, the effects of grounding primarily depends on how new your car really is. I was planning on putting grounding wires in my 04' Kelisa but sum of my car frens advised against it saying it was just a waste of money cos the circuitry of my car was fairly new and up to date... so ended up spending the money on other more important car upgrades... HEHE... but hey this is just my two cents, if you wanna do grounding by all means go for it bro...

if u r watching some japanese car dvd like best motoring etc....u will notice the some newer cars such as evo8 mr are with grounding cable...

not to say no effect....juz depends on how u r going to see on this matter. some just thought these cables doesnt worth for the money paid and looking for some other upgrade parts like meter,filter...etc

for those with grounding cable, im surely believed they understood n knew the effect given by the grounding..

its not for Decoration, it has its functions.

*U can try to unistal grounding from ur car fren n instal to ur car....so u wil know whether got effect o not without losing money.

My 2 cent

does grounding work for EFI and carburettor? or just for EFI only?

 

[nitrus]

does grounding work for EFI and carburettor? or just for EFI only?

both, but for EFI will be better la coz got ECU ...

n guys, grounding does work. new or old car... juz tat old car u'll feel the improvement slightly more than new car. Think of it this way, if u hav grounding on a new car, u'll maintain n takecare some certain parts of ur car (this one sifu explain lolzz)
