    Ground Wire Kit

    Anyone know anything about adding a Ground Wire kit?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2450221086

    Saw the above on eBay and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it, or whether it's another scam. First I've heard of it.

    Sounds like a bunch of bull to me. I've oversized my ground wires from my battery, to the engine block, and to the frame to lower resistance when running high end audio, but I honestly don't see how it would have any effect on engine performance.

    "Circle Earth System

    Circle Plate - The HKS circle plate allows for the freedom to choose the thickness and the number of wires (up to 24 lines) to be used. Depending on the specific application, either the Separate Type (remotely located from battery terminal) or the Direct Type (directly mounted onto the battery terminal) are utilized.

    24K Gold Plating and High Quality Wire - Each of the 8scq wires consist of 658 winded 0.12mm lines that allow each wire to withstand up to a maximum of 65A." -HKSUSA.COM

    that dont look like a ground wire, just looks like a solonoid and spark wires.

    atm ours are black with red caps (seperate solonoids for each spark plug) this looks like it replaces those with blue wires.


    terminology is wrong (not a mechanic) but you open the hood and you will see what im talking about.


    and of course i could totally be off my rocker, but thats what it looks like to me. as far as MZ stated, yup thats all true. but what it looks like to me, is what i described

    Not even the manufactuer they copied off of had the nuts to say it adds horses....

    "Circular Grounding System - By utilizing a 24 karat gold plated distribution block and multiple grounding points, improved idle and drivability are often obtained as the additional grounding points equalize resistance and voltage between various ground points. Each 8 guage spiral twined cable is wrapped with signature HKS purple plastic to protect and add color to the Circle Earth System. Vehicle specific kits included pre-measured cable lengths and distribution blocks." -HKSUSA.COM

    Our O2 sensor has its own ground return, so I doubt that upgrading ground can effect tuning. Of course, it can't hirt, and anything that elimate chassis as conductor will improve stereo performance, and reduce rusting. I've seen cars with ground strap from hood to chassis.
