Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Grounding Kit

What grounding kit should I buy? Where should I get it? How much? etc...

www.teamcelica.com [teamcelica.com] sells a the tuned innovations grounding kit for $30 shipped

^^ Yup, what he said

Is this the main kit to get?

pretty much...thats mostly whats recommended on this site. there's really not a big difference in quality from kit to kit as long as the lengths are all the same.

a grounding kit will only add like 1 whp (if any) anyway...and seeing how a dynonameters can be off by up to 3 whp that 1 whp is still questionable...it's just time after time they show increases of about 1 whp so most car experts accept that it does make some power, however small

For $30 it sounds good to me

^^ i agree.

whp is hard to come buy...$30 for a horse is actually pretty good (considerring most exhaust cost about $400 and give you 3-4 horses--an average of $100 a horse)

does the grounding kit even improve your engine at all?

^^ nope.

that's the same way i figured

SUPPOSEDLY, it just improves the flow of electrcity so less power is used by ur alternator...it's still questionable whether it makes any power at all..if it weren't for dynonameters showing very small increases (around 1 whp) consistently, it wouldn't even be a debate.

a better grounding kit is always a good mod - especially if you've seen the one Toyota uses on our celi's...

if nothing else it will make the headlights stop dimming when you roll down the windows or whatever right?

yea i think it keeps the electricity stable so the lights or whatver dont dim...but the question is, are grounding kits worth it in the long run?

yup team celica

why are they so cheap???
other companies like veilside and apexi cost around 200$

still need to install mines. they came quickly after i ordered them though.

its because your buying the name brand jae

yea... basically just the name they are selling...

the wires are all the same... even if there is difference, it wouldnt be noticable...

and either will harm ur car if installed properly. so basically go for the cheaper ones... these wires are not like ebay CAI or anything...

They will also help your car from rough idles.

hey JAE, if you want expensive go measure the lengths of each wire and take the info to an audio store and purchase some Monster Cable to make a homemade grounding kit. now that's expensive.

grounding kits (and you will understand this very well if you know electronics and you realize how electrically depended our engines are) is they do help the car, not noticable Performance difference but it provides electrical stability which is greatly noticed in headlights, sound systems, but one thing is it will provide less resistance for the engine (if you seen the stock grounding wires celicas come stock with, its small!!) it will take away some stress off the engine but yeah of course no gains
