engine ground wire
engine ground wire
when i went to nopi i saw that someone had the wire that is by the radiator and runs from the top of that frame work and to the engine and had replaced from that naked grey wire to like a 4 guage red speaker wire does that do anything help in anyway or not
a lot of people here recommend grounding kits. Several wires which ground your engine and electrical system better. Don't know about the one you're talking about, but the grounding system on Hondas is pretty bad.
yeah i already read the one diy and i thought the way that looked was horrible with those wires running all over the place im talking about the small silver wire that has no cover on it that run next to the radiator hose its about 1 ft long

I replaced that once but it maybe decreased performance. Probably it won't do anything. The whole kit will help. As far as having wires all over, most of mine are hidden, and the visible ones are black anyway.

Ok. . the engine. . the car. . when it's made. . ya know...at the factory ??. . It's grounded. They don't send it off with a "bad ground" They send it off with a general recommended, tested; known good ground. . It's grounded like it needs to be to work with the rest of the car pretty much forever. . . You can't do much to improve it. So . .. if you wanna spend the money and run wires everywhere, have fun, but it's not gonna do anything besides decrease the resistance to earth ground, which isn't necessary. the stock ground is nifty and does everything it's supposed to do and everything you could want a ground to do..
Now. . if you have 20 wires grounded everywhere, then, in theory. If the 1 that is there to start out with gets severed or something like that. . then you have some backups . .but other than that. . . why?
