Hyper Ground Systems

"Accord"........we are one........
I am currently working on my own grounding system with highquality speaker wire when my car gets out of the body ship I will be able to test it.
i have to get that kit... i have the worst ground in my car! like very shitty... corroded adn all fraying! but im in the process of buying a new car so it will be better i am shur... the kit looks like it would be worth the try... our 15 year old cars would probably have a big difference cuz of the age of the wires!

maybe this will solve the problem of me getting shocked EVERY time i shut my door lol

I was wondering the same thing too- Is it worth the 100 bucks?
Plus they dont make them for our year (just like everything else)

I doubt is is worth 100 bocks
BHAHA GETTIN SHOCKED WHEN U CLOSED THE DOOR.. well today i was fuckin with my my switch activated horn.. most spanish peepz have em.. the lil whistle sounding alarm.. anyhoot. it wasnt workin so i was fuckin with it under the hood.. and i dont know what i did that the coil wire.. came out of its place.. and i felt a shock like wow.. and the car sputtered and died.. till i figured out what it was friggin shockin me.. fun though.. then i deboed my sisters short ram intake.. and went around for some fun..
I have friends that have the ground kit and they said it does make a diffrense-like it idles smoother but 8hp-im not sure about!!!
Cold Air intake, Apexi N1 turbomuffler w/2.25 piping, H22 injectors,gutted cat, Dc sport header, accel coil, MSD ignition, Dropzone coilovers
Go to a radio store... get a few feet of high-quality oxygen free ground wire.. like 4 or 8 gauge.... and solder connectors on to it, and do it that way -- Saves a TON of money...
Only difference is yours won't look at pretty
I bet you could pull maybe 2-3 hp out of it. Im adding more grounds, i already upgraded my battery to chassis and engine to chassis but im gonna try distributor housing to chassis and maybe intake manifold to chassis too

100 what ??? go make your own man with the best wire out there and won't cost 100 $ ! yo can even sold the ends !

i thought about it, and i said to myself what is the diff between coper wire you can get at Lowes and hyperground? NONE.
you can get 2G coper vire at lowes for about $2. it is .69c per foot.
i didn't notice any power gains, but at least my light don't overload my electrical system anymore.
to get rid of the corrosion i use Gold plated terminals from Stinger.

well it's not just an upgrade, those systems don't just upgrade the stock grounds, they add grounds to specific area's of the engine to optimize the system so just doing a couple of wires won't cut it i'm sure, and also they make universal systems too, i'm not trying to justify the $100 (which i also think is outrageous) but u guys really don't know what those wires are made of, look at Monster cables, they have all that extra shielding to block outside noise and other stuff, i mean some1 should really research it before u guys do it yourself, and jump to the conclusion that it doesn't do anything, your probably not even doing it right to be honest, but i just say do the math first then once it's done right let us know how much it really helped.

how does it work? Why do you gain HP?

If your ignition system wasn't working corectly before because of a bad ground, the addition grounds would improve your spark a little. The (possibly) more complete ignition may be good for a small power increase.Originally posted by Morpheus

those "Hyper Ground Wires" worthless on car like ours! those only work if you running like 200+ hp, we won't even notice any gain. if you replace those it will only help you on idle and smoother accelration, that's about it. for that $100 i would spend make the engine quicker or suspension for better handling.

im not sure if the 200 plus horsepower thing fo rit to work well is true. i think it was in superstreet or sport compact ca they had a suzuki aerio project car and they put a set of hyper groud wires on it and it gave 5 horses if im not mistak, and it was almost the whole way through the rev range. lets do some more research and see if these are worth it, because i would pay 100 bucks for another 5- 10 horses, thats likehow much an intake is and about the same power increase
still miss mine . . .

:lol :lol :lol.......sorry sir your sarcasm is un-needed, how about actually RESEARCHING it guys b4 we all assume that it's totally worthless, that's all i'm saying....sheesh why do i even bother....
and yes it was one of those mags that actually used it and it dynoed more than 5hp from what i remember. i gotta find that issue and i'll get back here

you will notice higher gain on bigger preformance engine, the stock engine we have ain't going to do much.

????? are u not understanding what's goin on here? the whole point of the hyper ground system is that the stock system sucks, and they are improving it, so obviously that means that improvements will be noticed at stock level

Well if you researched this then you would have found my thread about this same topic b/c I made one about 7 or 8 months ago. I didn't buy them b/c ads can flat out lie to you and get away with it. If you want to know what the wires are call them up and ask them and just say that you want to know what they are exactly before you buy them. I did my homework and I didn't buy them. I think I will just get some nice ground wires and do it myself.
why do you defend it that much !???Originally posted by original2k
