theres a noticable difference in my throttle respose
not a placebo effect, NOTICABLY DIFFERENT.
but i found no extra power and a HELL of a lot more response.


fair enough. so why did it work? are you saying that you had such bad earthing before that you needed it? is it the extra current capacity of the bigger wires that does it? is the the better/cleaner terminations?

it's all well and good to say a 'snake oil' works, but unless there is a reason for it to work, it's still snake oil Wink

i'm not saying that it didn't work for you, i just want to know why it made such a difference!!!!

what earthing did you have before? did you clean up the areas where the normal earths were terminated at the same time?

Cya, Stewart



my car has standard earthing before
1 main strap
1 tiny head strap from near the exhaust side engine hook

i didnt touch these when i put the earthing kit on.

the wire i used wasnt that big, just good quality insulated stereo wire. i simply just earthed the right "positive electrical" points on the motor back to negative on battery.
ie.

tps
injector rail (close enough)
alternator
distributor

hence is why its got a better response, the positive can flow of to negative better/faster/more efficiently = better response

i dont claim to be an electronic engineer or even a electronics enthusiast, but damn, it felt so much smoother and more responsive.

id say its simply better earthing, cleaner, closer/more relevant earthing points. maybe extra current capacity too. but i wouldnt be able to back that up. Smile

hope that clears it up. trust me i was skeptical, but i was shown solid proof coz my car started and ran like a dog previous to the install. nows its zippy! Very Happy
