That one wire with brown tape is actually going onto the ECU,I just havnt found a screw that fits that open hole,theres 2 holes open on the ECU,so I figured Id just let it sit on the intake manifold for a few days.I have 4 points so far,Intake,alternator,left and right side of the engine block,next will be transmission,then the throttle body,and maybe more,Ill think of something.

Well I got my ground wire kit (finally).
Hopefully I'll get around to an install this weekend. Thanks for all the good pictures, from everyone. It will help me along the way!

These kits look like they are for a car show, and not so much for performance. No offense to those who like them, just my opinion.
Is there a kit that sells the wires without the clear plastic covering? Something more opaque like spark plug wires. Maybe I could buy the wires like this somewhere? |

Good call. The wires are made equally to an extent, and it's just the shielding that is different. Didn't install mine yet, but will do so soon hopefully

Okay - so I finally did the install and followed ItsMyDaily's guide almost to the tee.
Install went smoothly and I have a total six ground points. I skipped the seventh ground point as the wire was too short, so I reinforced another ground point at the engine block (point #3 as per ItsMyDaily's guide). I can't really evaluate the difference right now as it's snowing in Vancouver. I did, however, take it out for a short drive to test the Yaris in snow conditions. Lots of patience and ten minutes later, I arrive home safely Start up seems good, and everything else seems fine. Don't know if I'll notice any significant improvement, but I'm happy knowing that the car's ground connections have been strengthened.

^ good to hear. Wish i was snowing here in LA, man I miss the snow. Like you said if nothing more is gained from this mod atleast you know your engine/tranny are nicely grounded.

Thanks man
Your pics and tutorial helped a bunch. I'll probably rewire the seventh point when spring arrives.. seems so long way!

On the pictures I noticed nobody put back the stock grounding point?
Or am I just overlooking it? It seems hard to fit on the brass thing since it's grooved specifically for the stock version. |

I just bought the red ones on ebay:

Aw hell...I'm on board too.
This looks simple enough to do. Remebering my last vehicle, I would have paid someone to do this on that vehicle! The nice thing is our alternator and battery is right there and VERY easy to get to. I'm still considering buying a stock alternator and sending it into Ohio Generators or to Dominick Iraggi to have them do a custom higher Ampere alternator. Does anyone know the part # for our alternators and the stock output of these things?

Stock output of the alternator is 90A from what I can remember.
It will support a basic "non-threatening" sound system, but I think it cannot hold its own for more ambitious projects.

Do you think that this would be why my amp will shut off when it gets to loud, and my lights dimming with every hit? |
