How To Install Grounding Kit
Tools Needed:
8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm sockets, wratchet and extensions.
Installation:
You will recieve the kit bolted together at one end. The grounding cables are in order from shortest to longest and that is the same order they will need to be installed. After they are all installed, toss the bolt or put it in your collection but it is not part of the kit.
NOTE: It is easiest to leave all bolts, nuts, screws loose when putting new grounding cables in untill they are all ran. Then proceed to tighten them all down securely. Kit will go in easier and take less time to install.
Start by removing the first wire which should be the smallest. Link it from the battery to the strut tower bolt:
Then run the next cable from the strut tower to a stock ground located on the drivers side. The airbox must be removed(if you still have it) to get to this screw pictured below:
Now run the next cable from the same location above to the ground point on your radiator support as shown below:
From the radiator support on the drivers side, run the next cable to the passenger side radiator support with a stock ground strap ran to it as shown below(NOTE: when you tighten down all the cables at the end, make sure this one is tight across the radiator support so its not touching the hot radiator):
Now the last grounding cable is ran from passenger side radiator support to the motor mount support bracket grounding spot as shown below. Make sure you run it along the passenger side fender to keep clear from getting in the belts which can cause major damage:
Here is a picture of the completed install, make sure you route your wires neatly, clean, and safe as shown below:
Make sure you leave all the stock grounds connected to there factory locations. This kit is an add on, not a replacement kit.
Once all the new grounding cables have been installed, tighten down all the bolts, nuts, screws and discard the bolt and nut that held the ground cables in order.
Install should take no longer than 30 mins even if you have the stock airbox in the car.
Enjoy.
