Mass grounding - DIY workshop

[Cashiertan]

those hi fi cable expensive? even if bought from SLT?

[Tien]

liao...

 

hehehe no worries, this is a good learning process. i will try to research more about this grounding thingy first... anyhow, the workshop is not yet confirmed lor.

[Reliable]

depending on how you want to run the cables lor... and which point you want to ground.....after that you measure the length of cable you need lor....

 

think i have to start measuring everything and check out the size of the screws etc. anything else needed to take note of before buying? thanks

[Gadgeter]

size 10 for most...

 

size 12 for manifold...

 

Size 13 for engine block..

[Ultraman]

You refering to the socket head numbers? Or the bolt diameters?

[Seaweed]

you mean the crimper ???

[Seaweed]

think nothing more already but i suppose the trick is is find a good pt to ground in order to see the difference...

noted. thanks. i will get the wench, or whatever you call the thing used to unscrew those nuts, first

 

and if possible, really appreciate if you could dropby during the DIY session and give us some pointers. we can buy your extra lugs too

[Tien]

your point is valid. found out during my research that every car has its own "sweet spots" and these can only be found by trial n error. if these spots are grounded, the grounding effect will be better.

 

this is also why i wanna DIY, so that i can adjust those grounding points to perfection (so to speak) as i go along

[Gadgeter]

socket head...

 

Actually, I still have some lugs left... you guys want?

[Luckcent]

Yup you just said it, thanks.

[Seaweed]

does aveo agent do grounding? if they do then your can catch hold of someone that did and see where they ground...my sis's sunny did her grounding at TC so I will following the same point...

[Tien]

i think the agent doesnt. but some aveo bros here have their car grounded so can use theirs as blue print

 

still,must see how first lah. grounding takes quite awhile (newbies maybe need half a day? or more?) so not easy to coordinate

[Gadgeter]

when are you guys meeting? I'll see if I can make it..

[Tien]

thanks, bro. i will ask around first then once date is firmed, will informed you

[Gadgeter]

okie.

[Seaweed]

humm...i think most difficult is to find the right pt to ground...other then that should be quite fast mah...

I came across this while surfing at yahoo auctions. This guy is charging $50 for cables and installation. seems pretty neat. If i can DIY till so nice will be good most likely will be messy

 

below is his details:

Earth Grounding System (EGS) can achieve an extreme improvement on electricity flow and stability by providing a direct ground path from the body, chassis and engine components to the battery negative. What benefits does it provide? - Faster engine start-up - More stable idling - Smoother and faster throttle response - Increase low & middle engine torque - Better milage - Better CPU operation - Cleaner exhaust gas - Brighter headlight output - Improve car audio sound quality Only the best quality copper (not aluminium!!!) SILVERLINK cables (Made In USA) are used for the EGS. Package includes all parts + installation for only $50!
