pr5owner and I installed some hyperground wires just today...here are some images...Thanks to Groharlem for his insightful how-to

 

So, anyt noticeable improvement?

BTW the new names and avatars are

 

Yeah, any noticeable improvement? Is that snow of the front of the car.

 

And is that 2 different cars you're installing **** on? A silver one, and a yellow one? Anyway I did some **** like that a long time ago when I first put my stereo in. I redid all the stock grounds with 2ga Phoenix Gold wire. I'm sure it helps a little, if nuthin else it looks cool I guess.

 

Yeah the Yellow is mine (previous pics after my install) and the silver with red wires is pr5owners which we did last night. We used 4 guage Scosche wire from A&B for all of you in Calgary...I believe my lights are better and my HU doesnt dim when my bass is pushin...driving I thought there was an improvement on acceleration, it felt different from before, I thought it was just me but my dad confirmed it that the engine wanted to go more when you really hit the pedal. Total $$$ spent was about 50 CDN and about 1.5 to 2 hours. It took about 3 for mine since I had to pick my ground spots...and the mount on the tranny is probably the hardest one...Ill map out one for the PR5 like Gro on his site. Yes that would be snow on his car...this weather is GAY!!! Its the beginning of May, below zero, and snowing outside...

MSG me Nick if you are interested, I think Glen is going to do it too...

 

Ok, here is the wiring we did for the PR5's which should be similar to most 3rd gens...

 

Cool pics man, looks good.

 

what sizes did you use for the ring terminals?

 

any reason for choosing the locations you chose for the wiring?? i read that depending on where you ground the wires, it will either be better or worse.........

 

i followed Gro Harlem's custom ground kit, and applied it to the 2.0L

 

HK Fever,

Looks good. I just bought a set for myself the other day but I'm having trouble trying to decipher the Japanese. Can you point me in the right dircection on how to install them? I'd help me a lot... thanks!

 

Did you buy yourself the Sun Auto Kit? If you got one from one of the manufacturers, I believe the wires will be coming off of the battery, unlike ours which works in a series towards the battery...if you have one of the kits, PM protege5lava as he has one of the Sun Auto ones installed and he can give you an idea of where to mount the wires...

 

Thanks HK Fever, I did get the kit but the only instructions I got was in Japanese. And yep, you are right the wires will be coming off the battery terminal. I'll try giving a PM to protege5lava to see if he can sort me out.

 

Just wondering, according to your diagram, there's a ground wire close to the WW fluid labeled #1. Is it below the hole cutout? I looked at mine and it looks like the wire goes below to where the actual WW resoivoir sits. Bah, I won't want to remove my bumper again!

 

its above the WW reservoir...here is a pic for reference, hope this helps...

remove the screw that the arrow is pointing at (sorta ) and get a piece of sand paper and go underneath that piece of metal that holds the two tubes you see there...I placed mine between that piece and the body for the best ground possible...
