GIXXERUK Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Didnt want to buy one to be honest, i thought that it would make no difference BUT it did, much smoother tick over and smoother low rev driving and increased the mpg i think how much difference it makes depends on how poorly earthed your car is to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 It is pure fluke as to whether you have good grounding as stock. Some do, some dont. I didnt notice a massive difference after fitting mine, but idle is smoother as is slow manouvering. Give it a go and see, you know you want to. If it does sod all, flog it on here, someone else will gladly have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbiscuit Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I thought my clutch was up the swanee till I fitted one. Made a massive difference to my car. Made it a pleasure to drive in slow traffic. I think you will see most benefit in a manual car. For the money and ease of fitting, its well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 without sounding like a complete idiot.... what do they do and is this a warranty destroyer??? -ho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 warranty killer ? probably - any get out excuse they can find it increases the earthing capability of the car so all the sensors etc can give a cleaner signal to the ecu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Tutorial ... stallation Automotive electrical and computer systems are designed to tolerate up to 100% noise on their input lines. Meaning, if the ECU is expecting a 12-volt input signal, the signal may vary in the range of 0 to 12 volts. Fluctuations in signal are due to noise and resistance in the system. Noise is generated by spark plugs firing, discharges through the tires to the road, alternator turning on/off, etc. Resistance is the inability of the system to conduct electricity properly. One of the best-proven ways to compensate for noise and resistance is with proper grounding. Engine grounding has been used in the racing industry for years. The benefits have been proven and documented. The Custom Engine Grounding Kit allows for cleaner data transfer to the ECU. The result is more accurate measurements by the ECU and therefore more accurate performance, smoother idle and better acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanS Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Where's the best place to get one? Big Phil - canyou do a deal for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Where's the best place to get one? Big Phil - canyou do a deal for us? I made my own. Made with 25mm multistrand copper cable, cable lugs with a 6mm hole and some heat shrink sleeving. I will have to take a look a what material i have left but i might have enough cable to make up a few sets if anyone is interested. But like i said i will have to check first.

Most of the cheaper ones on ebay arent worth the hassle. Spill and Beavis know thier stuff, so stick to good cable. I have a Spills kit btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 As ever - great advice from the forum! Will see what Spill can do...although pretty tempted to have a go at making one myself - although I am first to admit my fabrication skills may not be up to it!
