This weekend i did some mods to my car. I thought i would do a little review on these stuff to let you guys know if they even do anything. It was the Nrg Universal grounding kit that you can get online for about $50 and the hotwiring ignition mod is just the materials needed to splice the wires together.

First off the Nrg Grounding kit was very simple and i put it together in 30 mins. Basically it just adds ground wires to the battery to help it charge and theoretically improve your electrical system by allowing it flow better with more ground points. It says it would improve idle, electrical stuff and all that junk. IMO it barely improved at all. Maybe its because i have good ground points already but adding 6 more ground points did not really do much. So that concludes that getting a grounding kit is a waste of money. If you need more than one ground point just make it yourself.

Now about the hotwire ignition mod, This is the cheapest and most beneficial mod to do to improve your throttle response. By putting a relay between the ignition coil power wire, your sending 12v straight from the battery to the ignition coil. This gives a constant spark all the time which is really good if your getting less than 12volts on your ignition coil. I received better and snappier throttle response and even better idle.

here are some pics.

So if you cant afford getting a msd ignition system, i would recommend doing the ignition hotwiring mod.
