hmmm...

 

3 points wrong.

 

1/ alternator to car body (driver's side, as far fr batter as possible), short cable, check, there should be a original ground point somewhere.

2/ battery to front of car for headlamp & horn.

3/ best point is fr battery to foot of ECU. << this is the most import place to ground.

correction for yer grounding:

1) fuel rail mounting screw instead of the fuel regulator, becuz nearer to injectors coils and oso to avoid fuel leakage at the regulator.

2) ideal grounding is at least 8 points.

[Dennisk]

1.

2. maybe going to buy another set to do ground...find it quite fun...

[Normal_aspirated]

okay,

1) the vibration from engine may loosen the bolt where the grounding is done, so leakage from the screw will result. Mine is done on the mounting screw of the fuel rail. You need to scrape off some paint from the rail body to make good contact.

 

2) Additional grounding:

The first method u hv already used is a star connection.

The second set of grounding is to make a daisey-wheel chain to provide good ground to all mud guard chassis, firewall chassis (infront of driver), and front chassis for items like signal and head lamps, horn, wiper-motor, etc.
