I get to learn this recently from a forum. Ya know, you get to learn lotsa cool stuffs and also, you can share your knowledge too in public forums (of coz it has to be car related ones). This modification is very simple. What it exactly does is to boost up the grounding of the car's electrical system. Our existing grounding system is not too efficient as the grounding wire is rather thin. There are after markets grounding wires but it's too costly to get em.
Advantage
- Less drag on the alternator thus improving performance
- Solving my car audio's ticking sound resulted from using thick ignition cables
- Solving 'aeroplane' sound on your ICE.
- Brighter lights during night time
- Stronger and more stable power output from alternator.
(All the claiming above aren't from my experience. I only gain by solving the ticking noise. Others are from the forum)
Material Needed
- Power amplifier cables (thicker, the better)
- Washer to hold cables
- Cable ties
Installation
It's so straight foward and simple. Just connect the cable from your rocker cover to the NEGATIVE TERMINAL of your battery. If you accidentely connect it to the positive terminal, I am sorry man! If you car is fuel injected, say bye bye to your ECU. So, be really really really careful of the installation,ok?
Refer to the picture below. Cable in red going across the engine bay is the power grounding cable.
