It looks like that stabilizes voltage aswell,but I think youll have a very hard time mounting that,you may,but you will not be able to see that voltage meter.Ill post the pictures of my partial install tomorrow morning.

Well here are the results from my grounding kit:
W/O GROUNDING KIT ---------------------OHMS----VOLTS Alternator----------- 0.6-------0.02 ECU-------------------1.7-------0.005 Throttle Body------- 1.2-------0.011 Transmission-------- 0.6-------0.016 Head------------------0.7-------0.016 WITH GROUNDING KIT ---------------------OHMS-----VOLTS Alternator------------0.6--------0.011 ECU-------------------0.6--------0.008 Throttle Body-------0.3--------0.001 Transmission--------0.1--------0.009 Head------------------0.5--------0.009 The Ohms were read while the engine was off, volts while engine was on. The readings were taken using a Fluke 87 Ohmmeter. The leads were placed, red on the bolt being tested, black on the negative terminal on the battery. The volts were a good indicator of how the resistance was reduced, since the more voltage flowing through the grounding wire, the less voltage drop across the voltmeter. If you wish, I can tell you exactly which bolts I used for my hookups/readings. I will tell you this, I can detect a small difference in the pull of my engine at higher speeds. It feels a little more willing at higher RPMs. Nothing major though. Idle doesn't really feel any smoother. I'll let you know about any MPG changes, if there are any.

I agree.
Has anybody bought a grounding kit yet and not installed it? Also are you willing to take pics?

nsmitchell interesting results. I think I will get some reading on my points over the coming weekend. I'd like to see what you decided to ground with your install.

Well I feel like a special ed student...
if anyones wondering on how to install a Bought Grounding Kit then go back to the first page and to post 1 of this thread.... I think what still needs to be made is the DIY Guide for making and installing your own homegrown grounding kit.

Has anyone measured the length of the wires in the e-bay kit?
The average person can't make a kit for $22 when you factor in the cost of quality wire at $1 + per foot and quality ring connectores at $1 a piece or more.
