Hey guys, im currently about to make a DIY with pictures for everyone so we dont have to always tell people to search for the common grounding kit questions, plus we wont have to spend over $100 for something you could do for like $30.

Alright, so the questions are, I know where like 3 of the grounding points for the engine are, so could someone help me out with finding all of them, and also what should i do about that one thats coming from the same wire loom as the fuel injectors, and attachs to the block? Also what gauge wire do you think would be the best for the ground wires. I basically know that im gonna use gold connectors, and im gonna sand the chassis where the connect to bare metal. So help me determine these few things, and i'll have a whole write up and guide to making your own grounding kit...

On the KA24DE by the way...

Thanks in advanced.

just remember, with grounding kits, dyno time is very key. It WILL take a decent amount of dyno time to find the grounding points where your car makes the most power, and due to old wiring and the wierdness that is electricity, you don't need to just copy someone else that made some power. Your car may not make any extra power if you copy them or it may make more. Bottom line, grouding for power + tuning = effective
