Dec 5, 7. Often, the sites like to show a picture of a tiny OEM wire next to the newer larger, prettier grounding wire. That's great marketing, but what they never really show you is the equivalent power wires.
I've looked at a few and generally, the power wire is the same size as the equivalent grounds. That's all you need, going to a ground wire that is bigger than required does exactly nothing. Grounding the ECU does nothing since it's all digital - it either works or it doesn't, your car won't run smoother because you put a bigger ground on your ECU.
Not sure how you'd get faster shifts on the transmission from a better ground. TCU sends a signal to the VB to shift, maybe a bad ground could cause interference, but that's reaching. Plus the kits are just supplemental, they don't seem to actually replace any ground wires, it's very indirect.
If you ground your amplifier to the chassis, that's direct. You do it wrong, you get noise. Adding a grounding kit would be the equivalent of leaving the amp to chassis ground, then running a bigger wire from the chassis ground to another grounding point.
How would that make any difference? I see claims about smoother injectors, but I don't see how? You're not touching the actual wires to the injector, you're just adding a bigger wire to their grounding point.
It's pretty easy to check how your grounds are. Get a multimeter and put one end on each side of the ground wire. If it's close to zero, it's fine. If not, your ground is bad. Try it with a grounding kit, I'd bet the numbers are the same.
Strange how no company actually puts up a number showing their grounding kits have less resistance than OEM. That's the number to measure, not "smoother shifts" which you can't prove.

Call it snake oil then. Neutral Newbie July 26, My friend, How old is your car? If your car is fairly new, you do not need a grounding cable. Grounding is useful when you have ICE In car Entertainment If you look at your Engine Electrical wiring carefully , a stock vehicle is pretty much well grounded. Try to take out your negative terminal of your battery.
My friend you cannot even start your car. Cheers hope that helps Gimmy. Galantspeedz 13, Turbocharged July 26, Like that, mine 5yr old car with ICE. Neutral Newbie August 7, edited. Be careful about some ICE modifying workshop.
They also, half pail water one. I get my friend who has a degree in Electrical Engineering to do it for me. Ask them to draw a flow chart, they cannot do it. So all those Mechanic, do not let them smoke, Mechnical stuff, they are king.
When touching the electircal system. Please becareful. Later I give up, I get an Electrical Engineer to fix the grounding cable for me. Therefore there is enough grounding in your car electrical system already.
Apollo Neutral Newbie August 7, Dear Sir, Impedance is happen in AC like resistance in the layman term. An Impedance Stabalizer will do the job. Told me is good, of couse I know it is good as you said Oxygen Free copper. What I am emphasising here is that, these could be an overkill. Cheers Gimmy.

Clutched August 8, Neutral Newbie August 8, But I do believe that grounding if done properly will do wonder to the car" Daer Sir, Thank You for your Comments, I truly agree what you said doing double Grounding may introduce ground loops that will cause the car to be more Sugglish instead of responsive.
Dear Sir, A good mechanic can Strip anything to bolts and nuts and put it back. Gone were the days that such mechanics is around. Alternator if spoil, please check if the rotor is work. It can be repaired. Hi, did I sense some sarcasm here? Dear Sir, According to your statement which is most likely to be ture. If you ground a long wire from the alternator negative to the Battery terminial Negative. Which path will the current take? The stock grounding path or the addtional new grounding path?
Base on your Hypothesis, I would say that grounding helps for some, and some are redundant. It adds weight to your Engine, redandant weight.

A properly grounded car can reduce or totally eliminate this from happen. Better audio quality Car audio system is sensitive towards static current. Car audio receiver needs to be securely grounded, and normally the grounding is the car body or chassis and a good quality grounding reduce static and current leakage which at the same time improve the quality of your audio system.
In terms of good quality wiring, you need to use at least 10MM Gauge Wire for the body ground. Finally, your wire needs to be insulated to ensure the wire will not deteriorate due to heat and moisture.
The Car Grounding kit is available in most of the accessory shop listed here.
