Grounding kits

[simba]

Grounding kit is it worth it i know CJ has one but do others ?

One of those things I would like to know a little more about too

Good shout Sim

I'd say so, Jap cars ain't known for good earthing. did it to mine years ago, just helps everything work how it should

I've got one from a group buy that mrchips sorted about 3 years ago.

Thought it was worth a punt as theyre pretty cheap, didn't notice much difference but it seemed a little smoother after i'd run a wire through the bulkhead to the ECU casing. But that may just be psychological!

Def worth it

They look nice if loomed in correctly, other then that felt no difference.

it probably depends on the car's upkeep.
If its driven dry days only, kept spotless from day one, has a showroom condition engine bay, chances are it wont benefit much.

if its an all weather car, wiring is a bit old now and used more than cleaned, then earth leads n contacts will probably have a bit of corrosion n the car may benefit from an earth kit.

I think mine falls in to the latter category so an earth kit is on my list of bits n bobs 2 do some day when I work out how to print money

i was looking on line and they look about £40 ish so not expensive not sure about the power gains i have read but if it helps with general running then gotta be a good thing as we all know how very delicate our motors can be andy if my numbers come up on the old lotto i will buy you a set !

[andy-m]

cheers lol, after seeing your 1st post, I had a look on line n saw kits for about £40 too.
if you got it spare, I think its worth spending £40 on.

I had one and my other half had one but didnt notice much of a difference to be honest mate

[simonairheadz]

i know cj connected one lead to the ecu casing,and did notice a difference,i have the same on mine

[mrchips]

It works well on ECU, I found it helped, and ran smoother. Its all about path to earth, and on these cars its poor due to connections are on paint so no really connection.

But there isn't a massive difference, I think a lot of people expect to much.

I am a sparky, and we put earthing in for a reason, all about disconnection times, less resistance, quicker times. Does nothing, but under fault conditions will do its job.

Same sort of thing I guess with earthing kits. I am not up with car wiring though.

Right sorry to bore. Peace out.

no power gains but as simon said lol , one to the ecu made it feel smoother .
