V6 Grounding Kit

[inevltabie]

Can anyone tell me where I could find a grounding kit for the v6? Thanks.

[tibby01]

you can find grounding kits on ebay for cheap. they really arent car-specific. if i were you though, i would make my own.

i had a civic. it got stolen ... used the money for my tib best thing that ever to me when i put the grounding kit on my civic it made a noticible difference. does it have that effect on the V6?

[nisco]

yeah.. the grounding kits do have a very good effect on the tib

[Prowler87]

does that brand have an effect on the improvement? or could i just get a little knock off brand?

[Rickna]

Brand is not really important. the gauge and grounding points are.

[BigTDawg]

whats guage and points are good?

[Rickna]

It's really a matter of opinion. Some like to use the chassis for grounding points (Strut Towers, Firewall, etc.). There's no real proven data. I've seen way too may unsupported claims, phony dyno's, etc.
For my setup I used 4 Ga. You can use 6 or 8, as well. I used a centalized block, bolted to the chassis. These are the points I used.

1) Battery
2) Engine Lift Bracket.
3) Transmission
4) Intake Manifold (Upper)
5) Ignition Coil Bracket

I've heard many say that they feel better throttle response, smoother idle and increased auto trans response. Is it measureable? Barley. Is it so? We can convince ourselves of anything to justify actions. I'm not saying theres no improvement. There is some. Do yourself a favor. Buy the least expensive kit. Buying an $80 kit is a waste for mythical gains.

yea i was looking at kits and they are real damn expensive i was thinking about doing it myself and i've also heard all the same stuff you have about it. the kits i've seen are $100 or more and there is no way i'm paying that for 3 cables and a box

[Rickna]

Yup, that's the ticket. I bougt a medium priced kit and tailored it.

[BigTDawg]

the way i figure it i'm not gonna but a kit at all i'll just got out and buy the cables and have them run together in a box i make unless for some reason that wont work
