WTB: HYPER GROUNDS SYSTEM!

That's the only thing I don't have on my car! I need it! In decembers issue of import tuner (This issue) the is an article on the Hyperground system. They have different dyno charts of different cars with their gains (After th system was installed). An 1995 RX7 twin turbo gained 15.3 hp at 6500 rpm. An 1997 Maxima gained 11.6 at 4500 rpm. The S2000 had a shocking gain only 2.1 hp at 6500 rpm. I am not expecting a 10 hp gain but 3 or 4hp isn't that bad. Does anybody on this forum have this system? Where can I purchase it? How much does it cost? Thanks! [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Are you in Toronto?

The Hyper Ground System is an amazing product and I had introduced it to this board about 2-3 months ago and was greeted with skepticism. If you have any questions regarding the Hyper Ground System, please do not hesitate to contact me (sales@slipstreamR.com). I am more than willing to provide information to you.

Now that the Hyper Ground System has been mentioned again.

Is anyone else interested in getting a set since there was interest before?

Do you have any questions?

Do you have an air intake system, header, or exhaust system?

On average, on a stock vehicle, the Hyper Ground System will free up 2 - 5 hp at the wheels.
If your car is tuned, the Hyper Ground System has more probability to free up more power.


Note: *Results vary from vehicle to vehicle.

It's garbage....


Just upgrade your engine and battery grounds to 2 guage..it'll cost you about $30 and offer the same gains...
I'll post the link to an arguement I've been having with someone on another forum.soon as that forum comes back up

2 guage is thicker [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. 4 guage would work just as well too..

All the hyperground kit is is braided ground straps and relocating 1 grounding point. The braided straps looks pretty cool...but ordinary 4 guage wire will do just as well 2 guage for overkill...

All the gains you've seen were they done by an independant source..or a magazine which Hyperground advertizes on?...or by Hyperground themselves...you guys should know Dyno charts are often bogus...unless done by neutral 3rd parties...Magazines often let product companies offer their own Dyno charts (often doctored to hell) if that product company advertizes with the magazine...

Magazines are never about performance and such...their all about making money through advertizing..why else is import tuner 60% ads 15" reviews 15% peoples ars and 10% editorials...hmmmmm?

Hahahah.....this is quite interesting....

If you read the article, Sun Auto didn't even approach Import Tuner. XS Engineering approached Import Tuner to show to the skeptics out there that this product works. But then again, this probably wouldn't make a difference for someone that XS Engineering is a reputable tuner in the States. But I'm sorry, I forgot, they advertise in the magazine too right? So we shouldn't believe them either. Ya, in the land where they can sue left, right and centre. These companies and magazines aren't afraid of getting caught for false advertising and lying to the public.

Someone thinks that all magazines are bought out by the companies who advertise in them. I wonder how else we are suppose to find out about new products. But then again, we have the internet and everything on the internet is true because everyone on the internet are experts. Magazines are a hoax. The SEMA Show is a hoax. Everything has to be DIY.

everything is a hoax.....welcome to the MATRIX.....we are living it.....

Science doesn't tell the truth and that's why the truth is still out there.

I have yet to find any reasonable explanation or proof as to how better grounds can free up more than 2-4HP..Better grounding in the ignition system.. 1-2...better ground for better current transfer from the alternator...1-2.. I'm waiting for decembers import tuner to read up on it more...untill then I'm a total skeptic [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].......

You can believe some thing from magazines..then again alot os obvious BS.. like them allowing advertisers to claim that an intake system can add 20HP to a civic....Hmmmmm..the car audio one's are even worse....but they do show cool installs..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]..

Magazines are a business...and like any business their in it for one thing.. Money....the internets full of crap too..like people posting how a ground system can mystically add 20HP [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]....then again I could be wrong...but untill I see some unbiased technical proof...I call BS....for the price though freeing up 2-4 horsies it's still a half decent mod..I mean folks pay $300+ for a CAI and it does the same....but to claim it can add 20+ horsies..unless the car they tested it on's wiring was all severly corroded...

I never said "ground system can mystically add 20HP". I never said that.
I said the Hyper Ground System can gain 2-5hp.

One can spend money on a set of TYC projector headlights. What? $400 for the pair? Yet, do these headlights shine brighter? Shine further? Aren't you suppose to improve lighting rather than kill it? One can spend $300 on Altezza-style taillights. So do these taillights make your engine gain more power? Then why buy it? Yet skeptics won't spend money on a performance part that will gain power.

I realize you are skeptic, but may I ask what will make you believe? How can we make you a believer? Testimonies? I
have dyno charts from XS Engineering. Will this help? They aren't the ones that are in the magazines.

I agree that magazines are a business, but what you are saying is that all magazines are full of BS. If this is true, then how is the general public going to find out about new products and what the products do? What form of media do you believe in?

The Hyper Ground System is not a new product. It is only a NEW PRODUCT for us North Americans. Japan has been doing Research and Development on grounding tuning technology for a long time. Tuners overseas have been using the Hyper Ground System for years now.

I do beleive that it can add a few HP's..but so does grounding your ignition system directly to your battery and using 2-4 Guage wire to ground your chassis to the battery.. How much does the hyperground system sell for???.. I never saw a price on it?..I know for $30 you can run 4 guage wire from your alternator to battery..battery to ground and engine to chassis ground which will pretty much have the same effect...I'm not too sleptical of the product..it's the price for the little gain that makes me ponder..I've seen one of the Dyno-charts for the product and it added some 15 hp..15hp from a ground is pretty impossible unless the original grounding point was really corroded and was causing the spark plugs to misfire..

The fact is the original ground is not corroded.
