Hyper Ground System DIY - Anyone making it?

Does anyone in this TCC forum make a DIY kit of the Hyper Ground System? If so who and what's the price, and who and if anyone can install them at a good price?

There should be more threads about the Hyper Ground System and a DIY article regarding it. At the Toyota Matrix forum there is like lol a 20+ thread about it.

It's the shiz

They are just wires....And yes it has been discussed here before.
Toyota people must be slow to need to read 20+ pages on tightening a bolt.

make your own grounding system. get a few linear feet of 2 guage wire, some clamps and a clamp press, and save yourself the ridiculous money they charge you for the illusion that you will be making 15 extra horsepower

I made my own ground wire kit. I bought some 4 gauge wiring, and some connectors. I first planned out where I was going to connect the wires to, and cut the wires accordingly. After that, I connected the wires together, and that was it.

If you want pay me to make one and install it for you, no doubt in my mind I will. It easy and I suggest you do it yourself.

Didn't know many would answer...lol.

From a scientific view it does work. And from a reality point of view, it's not for HP, its to gain what you loss and maximize electrical delivery.

I think getting better starts, small HP (a bonus), smoother shifting, is worth it.

I think I should do it myself too. I just dunno what the buy for the other than wires tool....

How much approx. does it cost to make for the 92-95 civic line. My old grounding lines are bad. I wouldnt mind the bling bling too...haha. Just wondering for future purchase.

My total was 31 bucks for all wires and 10 gold terminals.

show me these scientific and real world theories...

the only thing that would benefit is better ground to the ECU and from chasis to battery

this is not cmos technology where grounding really matters.

and how will having better groudnign help your shifting?

if honda engineers, which were paid a lot of money to design the system, felt that all you need is one ground cable from the battery, on on your ps pump, on on the tranny, and a few little ones throught the harness, then thats good enough for me

try adding 3000+ watts and a second/third battery, an isolator and a ton of other shyt
yer no longer dealing with an oem electrical system..

i've seen the mess of things engineers can make..
just cuz you hand them a million dollars a year doesn't mean they've solved all of the coincidentals

yes marty, but adding lines all over the engine bay wont help that much, in your case the main "pipe" from the front battery t the chasis needs to be upgraded, and from the alt, best way to solve that in a high current audio setup would be to run a pos and neg line from back to front so the audio does not have to share the same electrical area in the chasis

he never asked about upgrading power for a 3000 watt stereo.

in fact, if you read his post in a comprehensive way, you would find out that he wanted to upgrade grounding to make more horsepower.
