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..

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..

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...
