DIY: Grounding kit Install

First Grounding point - negative battery terminal.


Second Point, from the negative terminal to the Tranny.


Third Point from the Tranny to the Firewall.


Fourth point from the Fire wall to the drive side strut tower.


5th point from the negative to the front radiator support.


6th point to the valve cover.


Benifits noticed, my gf car is stock, has 20K LX 7th gen civic.

1. Stronger Starts.
2. Smoother Automatic tranny, it some how responds a little quicker.
3. Brighter Head lights, stock head light blubs. Brigther than my neighbors PIAA's on the same car. LOL..
4. Throttle Response is improved. First thing i noticed when i drove the car.
5. MPG should be improved havent watched the odo to really keep track. She goes to calpoly and did notice a little better mpg.
6. Buzzing from a bad head unit ground is gone, she has a pioneer head unit about 1 year old sounds a little clearer, just the highs.

The grounding points arent the best but feel free to explore and look for better grounding, as i would have had better acess to more points if my gf had an intake or something. I will be doing a install on vanillaman's car.. soon. so look for his review.

I have heard good things about this mod from some friends...Honda's are prone to having bad grounding. Have you guys ever noticed the instrument panels dimming at night when you accelerate sometimes??? I might have to try this.

You could do that, but the point is just to get a ground going to the valve cover. the ground energy should circulate through the whole area. =)
