i don't know how much that costs here. you can make your own ground kits. I hear Japanese cars don't have good grounds. so it might work for Japanese cars

When I worked at the dealership We used to have to do alot of ground fixes,Bad ground made things not work properly and most of the time the car had bad acceleration.

If yoru worried about redo your stock ones first..

Remove the ground from the body or engine contact surfaces,(One at a time)

With a wire brush or sand paper clean the contact area on the engine bay or engine,drop some hot solder where the metal connector meets the wire BUT make sure its clean and has no corrosion,

Wires can get bad corrosion inside you cant tellmuch by looking at it from the outside but once you peel the wire covering back you will know..


Try to do this on your stock grounds BEFORE spending $4 on new ones,I have been looking into these ground wires latley buy some company called Sun ( Something)

Thanks for all of the replies.

The ground kit is only $35. That isnt too expensive. I am not really worried about the hp gains, just the effectiveness. After you start making 350hp or so, the factory ignition starts to get weak. I was hoping that maybe a better ground would help. My stock grounds are all dingy and covered in oil and gravel dust

Dan, I actually am selling those Volks for $1100 if you want them that bad
