Hyper Ground System Set-up

zeno · May 2nd, 2003, 12:48 PM

I keep hearing through the grape-vine that NPM is going to run an article on SUN's Hyper Ground System. I bought one and am overall impressed but I would like some info. on the best grounding points. I don't have the money to go to a dyno and test out all of the possible grounding set-ups so I would greatly appreciate a write-up. Thanks for all the help NPM has given to all the members of this forum.

One other question, is NPM ever planning on developing a NA 200SX se-r project car or is the project car SCC pretty much as good as it gets?

We should have the article/s on the ground system next month.

Project N/A 200SX SE-R, we really don't have plans for one. Mike Kojima's SCC 200 is well documented.. you can read the different installments on http://www.se-r.net

Grounds are a very important thing in your car. Supposedly they do give you 5hp by replacing all your old wiring in the car. I don't know exactly how it works. And I don't see how it can give you 5hp by replacing all your grounds...
But thank god you guys are giving us an article on it next month. I would sure like an explanation. I'm baffled myself about this...
I don't understand how it can give you more horsepower, maybe it has something to do with the alternator..

Hey NPM,
I was wondering if you guys can also explain the theory behind it as well..thanks. I'm dying to figure this out!

better grounding helps performance by giving more power to the spark plus, sensors and ECU. Stronger Spark, stronger sensor signals = more gains. I did this on my mom's maxima (mostly to help the headlights). The lights were brigher (interior and exterior), the idle was smoother, and the engine felt alot more powerful (also is supposed to help fuel economy).

I did my own work myself on that car. I got 10 feet or so of monster 4AWG cable, a bunch of 4AWG eye loops, and heat shrink. I was able to cut my own lengths, crimp on the eye loops, sealed off the ends with heat shrink, and when it was placed, I sprayed some anti-corrosion gel on it. I have it going like this:

battery ---> chassis (right near the battery tray)
battery ---> rear/driver's side of the engine (intake manifold area) ---> front/passanger's side of engine block ---> Passanger side of chassis.
