Full 1st Grounding Kits (with positive and negative Monster terminals) Installation Guide for MSP
The following is my installation experience for the full 1st grounding kit with positive and negative monster terminals. It does not replace the installation menu that Craig supplies with the kit. Its only for reference and by no mean is the official installation guide. I am not responsible for any damage to your car. If you purchase a different kit, the installation will be different.
Please proceed with caution.
Needed Tools:
Preparation:
Step 1: Remove 4 engine cover nuts using the 10mm socket. Then take off the cover.
Step 2: Remove the intake air box.
First, press the clamp on the BPV hose, which attached to the air box intake pipe, and pull the hose out.
Second, remove the air temperature sensor and the MAF plug in.
Third, remove the two 10mm bolts on the side of the air temperature sensor. Then release the 2 clips on the side of the air box and remove the top of the air box and filter
Forth, remove the two 10mm bolts. Then remove the bottom part of the air box
Fifth, remove the 10mm bolt that hold the angled pipe attached to the air box.
Step 3: Remove the battery
First, remove the battery positive and negative terminals. Remove the positive terminal will loose all your radio settings. Then remove two battery bracket 10mm bolts.
Second, remove the battery by sliding it out.
Third, remove the four 10mm bolts that hold the batter tray and remove the tray as well.
After all these hard work, now you are ready to start the installation of the 1st Grounding Kit.
Yes, thats right. You are just getting started. All the previous work has nothing to do with the grounding wires. It just makes it easier to install.
Now, lets get ready to ground wires!!!

Needed Tools:
- A big and small ratchet with several extensions. I have a 3 and 6 for the big ratchet and a 3 for the small ratchet. With all these, you should be about to reach all the bolts.
- Metric sockets: 10mm, 12mm, 14mm and 17mm. Ideally, you will want to find a regular and a deep socket for each.
- A 10mm wrench. This will make life a little bit easier.
- DREMAL brush to clean hardened dirt on terminals. Electric tools are pretty handy.
- Can of choke cleaner or brake cleaner to remove dirt form ground locations.
- Can of lubricant to make bolts and nuts easier to be removed.
- Clean rags or paper towels to wipe the cleaner and clean the connection.
- Different cutter to cut the wires and electric tapes.
- A set of Metric hex key for the Monster battery terminals.
- A hollow steel pole to help you remove the transmission bolt.
