HKS ground-wire kit



"INFOCircular Grounding System - By utilizing a 24 karat gold plated distribution block and multiple grounding points, improved idle and drivability are often obtained as the additional grounding points equalize resistance and voltage between various ground points. Each 8 guage spiral twined cable is wrapped with signature HKS purple plastic to protect and add color to the Circle Earth System. Vehicle specific kits included pre-measured cable lengths and distribution blocks.
"

anyone know if these are worth it?? They are $112 shipped and anyone can get on this deal. Just post here and I'll pm you the guy's e-mail address that is sellin em. I think I'm going to order a set myself. The dynosheets said cars installed with em installed made a difference of 4 hp.

Re: HKS ground-wire kit

dude i have it on my S13, Sr20 and sorry ... no difference what so ever!!!!
(i put them in because the original ground wiers were just too old and used!)
BTW it is a good investment, especially if u want a clean car look. but for performance, its just not that great.

Re: HKS ground-wire kit

rough idle? changing your spark plugs to ngk iridium. i think that'll do more for the idle than the ground system. or get them both. the mod doesn't strike me as bein all that useful tho unless your car has more than 10 years and 150k miles on it.

Re: HKS ground-wire kit

Buy some welding cable and do it yourself. $100 is a lot for some pre-terminaled wires.

You do have a point. The purple is "fabulous" and dyno proven to add 20hp. If you use it in conjunction with other colored hoses and wires, it is worth 45hp.lol

Instructions.lol
