Does anyone have this brand of grounding wires? They are extremely cheap. I wondered why they are so cheap compared to other brands. Any feed back on any brand of grounding systems would be appreciated.ebay

Wires are wires. The other ones are expensive because people with actually pay for them. I'm not sure about doing this to a motor. It's kind of a better safe than sorry thing if your running any sort of extra electrical stuff in my opinion. Might actually do something. Hopefully someone with good experiance and more knowledge will back me up or shoot me down, either way, the trueth will be known.

Actually some engines really do benefit from these, the 2ZZGE for one. But most of them are fine in stock form.

i think it is a waste to add more but replacing the factory ground wires with 4 gauge is good. toyota used those grounding points for a reason they just flaked on the size of the wire. my biggest thing was the improved headlight dimming or should i say the lack of. bigger wire easier flow of energy. thats my opinion.

Maybe this could help me. I might just use welding cable though. Eh, that might look crappy though. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

Its one of those things that do more to recover lost power. It may help you a bit, but if you're totally stock form then i wouldnt bother. I'll be installing one, but mostly just cuz i need to clean up the engine bay in the gze...
