Dragonball Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I sell grounding kits on my site - found when fitted to mine that improved idling But must be set up correctly or waste of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markie Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Mine has earth grounding kit. Idle is very good and even. Told it does increase performance a little also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 What sort of price do you sell them for?? How difficult are they to install?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 About £35 i think they are - sorry cant log on at present so will ask you to look them up (check on quick search left hand side) - and about 20 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Got any pics / instructions of how to install these anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 had a kit on my old S14 and it smoothed the idle, gave me brighter headlamps and the car seemed more responsive too..... although a lot of people also say they're a waste of time or a ricer mod still for 40 quid its hardly a rip off is it?

Kev.O Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Good idea. The one on ebay apparently comes with: Full clear instructions, specific to the Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Got any pics / instructions of how to install these anyone link to Paul E's site that shows the routing for the grounding kit on the mk iv: http://miami-gt.com/product_info.php?cPath=100_1_38&products_id=87&osCsid=ab67a6abe8b65524755e4944fea32c35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I make my own set of these for every car I own this last 12 years. They are excellent and worth every penny. Jap cars have shyte earthing, these go a long way to help that. With the Supra I got brighter headlights and sweeter running around town. When you fit this kit you may as well go around the rest of the earthing points inside the car and remove the paint from them and re connect, this also helps. Toyota do a very neat wiring job, but Vauxhalls earting is way superior, hows that for an insult lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Chief, What exactly should we be looking to earth, and where? Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Not to butt in - but normally running from alternator over to the battery via the engine points along the way Somewhere back at the ranch I have an article from USA Modified magazine that dyno'ed 7HP increase on a scooby after fitting one - take from that what you will - but cant do no harm Also available in every colour to enhance bling engine bay (ah...NOW we are talking!)

Chiefgroover Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I assume you mean the other interior points. There are earth points behind both kick panels, and one on the inside of the rear boot panel for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toms Supra Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I fitted one from ebay idle is smoother and engine runs better, feels slighty more torquey as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 All the earth points are in the attached pictures. Just to play devil's advocate, if the Supra has an earthing problem, how can you be sure that it isnt the action of fitting the earth kit (disturbing the earth connections and re-fitting them) that improves the contact rather then the kit itself? A good test would be to fit a kit and look for any improvements, then remove the kit to see if the improvements remain or if the car goes back to how it was before.

Ian C Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Sure is a lot of ground points Wiring all those together must surely look untidy? Has anyone got any piccies? £35 seems cheap for enough cabling and connectors to do that job. Is it a prefabbed kit or just the wire and the loose connectors? -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toms Supra Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Its ready made just wire and go! it doesnt use original earth points but new ones. so disturbing old ones does not come into it. they DO make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
