Grounding Enhancement

would this help? i could see benefits in amp grounding, but that can be handled just by moving the grounding point.

i'd imagine it'd be really hard to calculate the most optimum points to place these leads.

It helps, buy why pay that much for a kit?

Buy some 8 gauges and do it yourself.

That is kind of a expensive kit, I recently went to G-garage and Exchange my HID set cuz the first set i got from the GB had a cracked bulb. also i talked to James about other item they will be selling in their market, I mite be proto typing the same kind ot set-up for the ground enhancements. Im not sure yet. But i will be calling james to maybe set up a group buy on this.

Is anyone interested in the ground enhancements?? if so let me know that way i can talk to james and see what we can work outa nd how many kits we can get. Hes a pretty cool person and may beable to work out a deal.

Thanks
Kenny

Why buy the kits when you can buy the wires for way cheaper and cut it yourself?

well you can do that, but the 8gauge isn't as good at the 4gauge wires. 4 gauge wires give you more current.

plus by the time you buy the wire and ring terminals it will come out to the same price. not very much diff. Plus if you go to shops and try to get about 20 ft of 4 gauge wire it will cost you at least 15 bucks plus u need to buy the ring terminals.

Just that if you buy the kit everything comes ready to install. u dont have to put the ring terminals together. saves time.

So the kit you are referring to is a 4 gauge kit instead of the one shown on the ebay site?

Yes the kit i am reffering to is a kit with 4 gauge wires with all terminals already attached and wires Lengthed to designated areas. It not like the cheap one on ebay.. this is a actual kit.

Any others interested, I will be calling james today at g-garage to find out how much it would cost if we purchaes these in a large quantity.

Well that is what g-garage is going to do, If i can get enough buyers for our cars they are going to mass produce it. They already come complete so their is not need to put them together. How does you ground kit look like?? I wouldn't mind taking a look at your before i get mine.

If anyone of you guys can come up with a specific kit for a 1MZ you have a buyer. I can make my own but damn I just don't know where the main grounding points are...

If the shop is going to mass production the kit, then i will leave them to do it. If they dont want to make it then i can mass production mine..but the production might be slow.

After installation I do feel my car idle more smooth (rpm no more up and down swin, it stay 690 to 700 rpm) and accelerate more smooth, but it could be just a placebo effect. I am going to try to have a same set up on a 95 camry 5SFE auto and see how it go.
