cavalier ground wires

does anybody know where the stock ground wires are on a 2001 cavalier 2.2l.

What do you mean? Ground wires for what?

If your looking for a place to put a ground, you can put it on any solid metal part of the car

no i know theres a negative wire for the batery, then theres like 6 more.. theyre all in the engine compartment. I bought a ground wire kit that "supposably" adds 5 hp... But i can only find 2 of the grounds. I know one is supposed to go to the alternator....please help

LOL bet you got it off ebay didn't you?

lol a grounding wire that adds horse power... thats like having all my stickers they ad about 10-20 depends on how many i put on lol....

but anyway the ground wires are ussually mounted to the block somewhere well mine are at least.

no the grouding wires arent bad, i put them on my car, then again i didnt waste my money on ebay, i just went to autozone and paid like 5 bucks for them. HP increase? if their is i didnt notice it. But you will notice your headlights will get brighter and your radio will sound louder and better.

lol atleast somebody knows something about cars..

What gauge did you use?

Here are the points on in the engine compartment you want to ground.

1. Battery to firewall.
2. Battery to R strut tower.
3. Battery to throttle body.
4. Throttle body to head.
5. Head to exhaust.
6. Batter to L strut tower.
7. Strut tower to alternator.
8. Strut to distributor

A buddy of mine did this to a 2002 PT curser and noticed a MUCH better idle and a performance increase, as far as adding HP, couldn’t tell ya.

good luck hope this helps.

I believe its also called Hypergrounding

I bought a set for mine too...only difference, I'm pretty stupid and I read all that and are just like...okay. Can anybody give like a detailed step by step instruction, or do you know of any on the interent, i've spent like half my day trying to find one. BTW this is what I'm looking at. 99 Cavalier, 2.2L. It has TWO 37" WIRES, TWO 30" WIRES, TWO 24" WIRES, ONE 15" WIRES. and it looks something like this: http://images.andale.com/f2/110/101/18255235/1150229511418_GW_RD_OP.jpg

I know you have 6 wires that connect to something, but I need help with like...how to attach it to the battery, and like where the actual spinny looking gear thing goes, lol. yes that is the technical term. grrr. I'm dumb, somebody help please, lol.

im sure no one cares since this thread is from 2 years ago

hey that sounds like a cheap way to make my radio sound better... get a better rattle out of my fuel tank..


:lol:

If your going to bring a thread back from the dead, as far back as this one was you might as well just start a new one. just for future reference Derk eliso.
