Ok heres the problem, I just got the HKS universal circle earth grounding kit and the only directions it came with are in ******* Japanese!!! I DONT KNOW JAPANESE!!! So if any has installed this please help me!
Also i got the perrin short shifter and greddy turbo timer, and I am gonna need help instaling these as well. Thanks for any info, Guys and Girls
 
hook it up to stuff. the grounding plate on one of the strut towers, the engine block, intake manifold, and places on the chassis after sanding down the paint
 
do a search for grounding kits. im sure pictures of mounting points will be posted up. if not, i can look for my pics.
 
Thanks but the hks is different than this by a lot. All connections go to the neg terminal only, all six grounding wires come off of this disk that sits on top of the neg terminal. But thanks any way.
 
Dood. A grounding kit is just that. All you need to do is ground the separate wires in different places. Just find places to ground it where the wires reach their full stretch (or look good to you) and make sure they get a good ground.
 
make sure each wire is grounded to something metal, if there's paint chances are it won't provide the best ground, this is just as though you were installing anything electrical and you needed to hook the ground wire up to something.

semi-threadjack: do these things add any increase in power at all? i don't see what they could do besides possible make your dome light shine more brightly
 
This is more a performance mod for your battery. This will help everything that is electrical in your car get a more reliable and constant power due to better conductivity. So it is a performance mod of sorts if you think about it. I would say this if very important if you have an upgraded stereo system.
 
I read in a issue of sport compact car on project 350z by adding grouning cables to very specific points they got a gain of 2-3hp on a dyno... they also noted that it took them a s*** load of different placing of the grounding cables and dyno runs to do it...

All JDM product will be in Japanese from now on. I think only Greddy might have english translation. But it aint that hard. I read an article saying depending where you hook your graounding wires at you may have different performance.

Attaching it to your altenator will yeild so much and this and that.

I dont remember which magazine but it will be a interesting look up.
 
The grounding kit is designed to replace certain ground wires on the motor. You will get increased throtle response and better idle if installed correctly. One should go to the throttle body, valve cover, transmision housing, battery, alternator bracket, and other spots depending on motor and how many wires you have. Its too early here for me to look at the motor but I'll go out and look at it and let you know where to attach the cables. I just made my own for my civic and haven't had the time to do it on the protege so I don't know the grounding points off the top of my head. You need good connections so if the cables don't come pre asembled then make sure you clamp the terminals on them good and tight.

There is a 2-3 hp difference between dyno runs on the same car/set up. You'd have to do a bunch of dyno runs and prove statistically that the average went up.
