you mean the vibration will losen the nuts in long run? then use what to secure? where is fuel rail?

 

2. additional grounding:

the second set must make daisey wheel chain ? what is that? wah...seems like i dont' know where is all the parts you stated...

hi looking for me dennisk?

[Apollo]

i give you more detail,

 

i ground from "-" of batt to:

 

1. Body(infront near to driverside) <<-- redundant.

2. alternator <<-- alternator to body (1)

3. near engine block <<-- ok

4. throttle body <<-- ok

5. intake manifold << -- only if u got electronic throttle otheriwse useless.

 

suggested alternative

 

1. -ve battery to ECU!

2. -ve battery to topside of radiator <<-- headlamp + horn

3. -ve battery to firewall <<-- only if u got spare cables to play, for HU.

 

note: anti vibration purpose, use spring washer!

[Dennisk]

so now i should take out "1." , "2." and "5"

[/color]

I change my connection from:

 

1. Body(infront near to driverside)

2. alternator

3. near engine block

4. throttle body

5. intake manifold

 

REMOVED THOSE IN RED

HERE IS THE CORRECTIONS:

1. Connect 1 cable from alternator to body

2. DON'T KNOW WHERE IS ECU.... (can help me?)

5. from "-" of batt to topside of radiator

[Dennisk]

why don't need to connect "-" to alternator then to body???

[Apollo]

becos there is already a cable fr -ve battery to the alternator. so there is no need for redundancy. you dun need to charge the battery better. what u want is better distribution of power supplies.

grounding the alternator body help to reduce electrical noises generated by it. it is not meant to improve the neg side of alternator supply.
