In my new Importuner, yes i know its a lame magazine, they have some dyno runs of an Fd that gained 7hp to the wheels.So anyone want to raise the flag? Too bad they are like $100+ or i might try them on my fc.

maybe the car they tested had big problems?

just make your own ground kit, super easy



mike

thought so, i didn't want to pay for friggins wires LOL

thats all you would get in the "kit"



mike

mike where the hell are the pics of your car @ ??????

good grounding can NEVER hurt, well, at least from my experiences....



lou

i have heard that 7s have shitty grounding to begin with....

I heard that too, but never really had any problems with it yet. BUMP BUMP KNOCK ON WOOD

They didn't GAIN 7hp so much as RECOVER it. You'd be surprised what works better when everything is properly grounded.

true FDs usually have a lot to recover, in one of my turbo mags i saw an increase of 35rwhp just by a silicone hose job https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

I made my own set.. I grounded the stock grounds, both rotor housing, the altenator, and the right and left sides of the engine compartment with 8 guage cable in to a ground block with 4 guage cable going strait to the - batt terminal..

Damn man....did it do anything for you??? Thats a **** load of grounding, maybe I should do that?!?!?!



STEPHEN

dont worry, soon you will have live streaming fc's....

that YMCA tribute is funny as hell

Thats alot of grounds Dragon. I am not following you all the way though. Why ground the housings, etc.?

the coils and spark plugs and two stock grounds in the wiring harness ground to the rotor housings, so I grounded them directly to the battery and the altenator..

yea LOL

Hey Dragon, could you provide some pics or some good detailed info on this? I'm installing my motor this weekend and with everything apart it should be pretty easy for me to do.



The only thing is I'm pretty much all thumbs when it comes to electrical, its just not my thing.



Something I'm doing a little different is I'll probably be moving my coils over to a fender. You said the coils were grounded but I didnt notice any ground wires. Are they grounded seperatly or is it like all these parts to into the wire harness and the harness has a ground that grounds them all.



Thanks,

STEPHEN

You can check out my single turbo post and kind of see them... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/index.php&...=5824&st=25&hl= They are Yellow and the main ground block is on the left inner fender, one grounds to altenator bracket, one to the right inner fender and there are 2 more that are hard to see that run under the intake and ground to the 12mm bolt holes on each rotor housing...

Your link isnt working for me

Agreed, and what's grounding? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

yeah i've heard that our stock grounding sucks. I'm going to add extra ground wires next week.

That picture would be nice to see though Dragon. Oh and yeah the ground going to the coils is part of the wire harness.

Jason,



Who the heck is that in your avatar? I crack up whenever I see your avatar.

Bah.. I don't know why the link isn't working, but go to the single turbo section, then click on the pinned single turbo link at the top of the page, the pic's are on page 2...

Dragon, dont you have a Dalatalogit with DIY wb???



Did all this grounding help with the wb grounding probs people are having???



Thanks,

I don't think that Chris has gotten his sensor yet...

LMAO, I thought I'd be funny. :bigok:

Yep still waiting on the sensors... It seems like everyone and their mom bought these things at the same time and bought Napa and everywhere else out.. Hell I even checked at Honda here in Japan and they were on back order (and $400) like I'd pay that anyway.. but we'll see eventually..

yeh im trying to do mine and i cant find the stock grounds for the life of me in my car. Any sugestions?

One on the engine below the spark plugs near the oil pan, almost directly under the A/C compressor, two more on the rear rotor housing under the stock coil packs, one on the fire wall right behind where the upper and lower intake manifold bolt together, one under the relay/fuse block on the left shock tower, and one more on the case/mount on the computer... That's all the main ones I can think of off the top of my head...
