the points I'd focus on getting grounded would be..... 1. engine head 2. intake manifold(I'd point to throttle body) 3. tranny 5. alternator 6. engine block that's what most kits will tell you to mount to, i'd also include... 7. starter 8. head lamps

so that's how it should work... it's just like making multiple wire connections from different areas of engine bay to battery's negative. sort of like stabling static signals in the engine bay... did i say it right?
also positive to alternator? are car alternator's powered by 12V? i wonder why doesn't the toyota release cars with grounding kits OEM? If it is just as simple as doubling grounded wires why the heck don't they do it>? |

I wish Import Tuner had put that article online. Maybe I can scan it and post it and claim liberal use of the Fair Use Doctrine.

Sorry to sort of hijack this topic, but when making the points do you wire them from point to point or wire all back to the negaitve terminal.

1. You wire everything back to the negative terminal. 2. You wire one after the other (sort of like one long ground wire that connects to different components as it goes along.)hmmm so what i mean is if you were to connect one from the battery to the head then you would connect the second wire from the head(same point you connect the first) and go on to your next location. and so on, and so on. hope that makes sense? Best way is to wire to negative terminal of battery.

its must def a DIY and depending on what gage wire you get and how many points can range from $20-$80 (I got 6 gage wire, corrosive resistant ends, heat shrink, crimpers for $42)

Oh i see and how do u connect them to the ignition coils? im planning to do that to mine, it's the same engine anyways... do u have some pics about it?
PS you can also connect a cable direct from the battery to a relay switch that can be activated by the car stereo remote cable or any other remote signal cable, the idea of the remote is to avoid overcharging the stereo remote plug...

Learn how to launch properly and hit your shift points correctly.

i don't think you have to connect it to the ignition coil... just the negative terminal will do... correct me if i'm wrong though.
also, is there a hard rule which components/parts of the engine bay that you should ground? or just ground whatever you feel grounding? |

^ no you can ground whatever you feel you want to. it's only suggested that you ground certain points(engine head, intake mani, tranny, eyc.) for best benefits. Other then the suggested areas it really doesn't matter what you ground.

Correct!
There are 3-4 important points that you have to connect.
