Hopefully its just a glitch, I'll have to look into this or find a hosting site.

Anyone know any other grounding points ? I couldn't find them yet...have to check underneath the car.

Here is my write up on my custom grounding kit.

As of now it is only a 6 wire kit, I will be changing it to a 7 wire kit as soon as I figure how I will run my 7th wire to the transmission.

Tools:
10mm wrench
10mm Socket
Flat head screwdriver


4 Gauge wire
4 Gauge ring connectors ( I used regular non-gold ones, but you can use gold if you choose )
1/2" Heat Shrink
Zip-Ties

My main goal was to use black and try to keep a factory look.


I first went to the car and figured out how I wanted to run my wires. I then made a set of wires using my measurements.

I made my wires the following sizes:
1= 29"
2= 29"
3= 14"
4= 14"
5= 13"
6= 11"
7= Pending.????????

===PENDING=== this is where I will post the final wire, the 7th wire when I finally connect it.

You can now zip-tie everything up to your liking.

Disconnect the negative cable from your battery and leave it off throughout the whole process

1)
Remove the plastic battery cover and also the plastic housing of the battery. You can remove the plastic around the battery by prying off the little black screw looking things with your flathead screwdriver.

2)
1st wire I connected was the 11" wire from the negative battery terminal to the original ground location of the battery.

3)
Second wire connected was the 29" wire, this will be connected also from the original battery ground location

4)
I then routed the wire and mounted it to a factory ground area beneath the power steering fluid resevoir.

5)
Now I connected one of the 14" wires also beneath the power steering fluid and ran it to the engine.

6)
At the engine you will also connect the 2 other wires. The other 13" and 14" wire.
The second 14" wire will connect to the front of the engine where alot of the factory ground wires connect.

7)
The 13" wire will run along the left side of the plenum to the back and will be connected to the plenum as shown in the picture.

8)
We now grab the last 29" wire and this will connect also in the front of the engine where the factory ground wires are and the other 14" wire. You then route this wire beneath the intake air sensor and mount it on the right side of the engine compartment where there is a factory grounding point.
