Default Earthing System: me make, you buy...

There has been some interest in purchasing an earthing system that I would make for you.

If I get enough people interested, I will make them. Price will be $42 USD shipped to anywhere in North America.

DISCLAIMER:
1. The kit includes: black 8 gauge wires cut for direct bolt on, 6 gold plated terminals, 1 engine block bolt, 4 zip ties, and crude instructions
2. Earthing System is sold as is. All sales are final.
3. The length of wires will be made for G3 integras, more specifically the ITR. May work for other Honda vehicles equipped with battery by passenger side window and B series motor.
4. For a clean install, you will need a strut tower bar of some kind.
5. Product will be shipped insured via Canada Post.
6. Buyer assumes all responsibility after arriving at their door. This includes: faulty installation, misuse of the product and/or any electrical failure due to the installation of the earthing system.

I will be using some sort of car audio power wire brand.

IE: Lightning Audio, Scorche, Monster, etc.

Here is a pic of the one I made for my car:



The ones I would be making would have 8 gauge wire instead of 4 shown above. 8 gauge wire is what all the JDM companies are using. I wish I used 8 cause 4 is HUGE.

Sorry, I can't make it like Spoon because they use different lengths for JDM cars.

Spoon has clear style wires. I rather have a non-colored wire.

It still won't look like spoon cause I would use gold plated terminals while spoon uses some generic silver ones.

Doesn't matter...I just want non-colored wires. At worst, black.

Some links for newbies who don't know what it is/does:

http://www.jp-earthing.com/Earthing.e/index.html
http://www.sunautomobile.com/hypergr...em/hgs_pro.htm

Just some clarification. My kit will not include a new negative battery terminal but will include terminals to bolt onto the stock negative battry terminal.

Paypal will be the preferred method of payment but we'll worry about that after I get 10 or more participants.

I hope I will see the same gain with my Spoon one, but I highly doubt it.

Damn, is that mean I will gain 11hp if I change the ground wire and solders them?

I think that dyno gain was a before ANY GROUND and ground wiring by earthing system.

I don't know about power advantages, but YES this will help your engine run smoother and your audio system less prone to noise (as it will help eliminate ground loops due to bad or frayed engine/alternator grounds)

Another thing i recently saw was an article showing how a fuel pump output is directly related to the input voltage it can recieve, so the magazine ran a better wire to it in order to get an input voltage closer to that of the battery terminal (like a difference in 0.8v) and it shows small +ve increases in hp.

-Rage (still unsure about the whole thing..but hey, if you need to replace yours..)

you guys do realize that you'd just be paying for wire, cut to length, with terminal ends on it, that's all.

If you add more ground cables, you'll add ground loops......

What about the fuel pressure regulator?

I made my custom 5 ground wires and got 10 hp at wheels.
