Super Ground System

Scrmegl · 01-20-2007

Has anyone installed or seen one of these systems before?

It seems like DSM's could really benefit from this.

Would this also help with load and strain on the alternator?

Would this affect/improve output voltage to the fuel pump when under load?

Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

They rank up there with bilge pump electric superchargers on eBay, Tornado intakes, eBay performance chips, etc.

The problem with lower voltage at the fuel pump is due to the wires running from the front of the car to the fuel pump in back are too small.

I plan on rewiring the fuel pump and also going to the 190 most likely.

It seems like a good concept but there is a lot of gimmicks out there.

Better off getting the Apexi oil seperator. It would do more good. If you want, you can always get new ground wires, I bet you could buy new ones form mitsu, sand all the grounding points so it's bare metal, install the new wires, cover it in some grease or that underbody coating stuff and be done for cheap.

That is a good point. But the box does have double condenser and noise filters. More than just clean grounds give.

And an ominous light. LOL

Clean grounds are important, fancy ground boxes aren't.

Well Stated. Thanks for the input. I was just curious. Hadn't heard anything about them before.

You could also add/make your own grounds. Get some nice gauge power cable, crimp on nice connectors and bolt them where you feel they would benefit the car, for a fraction of the price.

Here are some good looking noise filters for automotive use. Probably cheaper than the apexi unit, I dunno. I bet you could also get some blinky lights to satisfy that need. That's the main reason I still use a narrow band O2 sensor.

Good Link! My narrow O2 does plenty of blinking. It's only cool to those who don't know what is is. It is reading lean too often though...must mean it's time for some fuel upgrades and more boost.

Do they make caps for gauges? The St Cloud cops tend to Profile me as a street racer when they see the vac/boost gauge glowing in the pillar pods.
