My ground wire kit ***pics***

Post by MMamdouh »

hi guys... i got myself new battry terminals and made a ground wire upgrade kit myself with the help of my great friend Zikas:

Copper Battrey terminals... far better than the pathetic OEM terminals
Image

Image

4 ground wires were added to the 2 OEM grounds
Image

Intake and engine head grounds
Image

chassis ground
Image

another chassis ground
Image

Engine bay views
Image

Image

what do you guys think??... i still got some3/4 meter of wire and i am thinking of upgrading as i don't think i need more grounds, any comments or suggestions are welcomed.

Looks good!! I've checked with a multimeter and earthing to the radiator gets the strongest voltage (is this ok to do? passing current thru the coolant)... but i think that has been covered before.

I've only done the extra earth cable run to the engine block, but that helped some with smoothness of revving...

i got a mild leak somewhere... probably from my 73,600 kms old water pump and i lose a little bit coolant every now and then... in 10 days or so the coolant will be at its normal level due to the leak so i keep it a bit over the top to be on the safe side in case i forgot to top the coolant some day or so.

P.S: you still got a very long way to catch me on the post count run MUHAHAHAHAHA :badgrin:

That is wayyyyyy hardcore.

I cant see close enough to tell. But if you havent, you may want to sand down to bare metal the points on the chassis and other parts where your wires go to ground. To get the best contact. Just my .02

i did a little sanding for the 2 points at the strut and radiator for better electric contact indeed... thanks for the feedback.

not sure about the measurment of the cables but each hole in the terminal is capable of taking up to 4 of them yellow cables so it was not a problem for me.
