Ok I'll be the first to ask why do I need to have a grounding kit for a car that is already grounded.Do you plan on adding a flux capacitor?



The Spoon earthing system is a four point grounding kit for the engine. The grounding kit reduces electrical noise, thereby smoothening power delivery and improving throttle response. The reduction in electrical interference helps improve the efficiency of the engine, reclaiming lost power. Note: This kit is designed for the smaller battery terminals on JDM batteries and will not fit a standard North American battery without modification.

When are you actually going to install something on that car that gives you a performance gain? Send it back and get gears already.

When you find a site that gives me technical details on why a grounding kit is needed please send me the link. I've never been able to find anything but "grounds your car better for increased performance"

I don't think trying to save a guy money is harsh. The funny thing is that a grounding kit would be the easiest thing in the world to dyno yet you never see them.

Install the kit and leave the wires to the distribution block not hooked up and dyno it.

Connect the 5 or 6 wires to the distribution block on the battery and dyno it. It would take all of a minute to connect those wires.

I dont think people making these kits want to see them tested on a dyno...why would you want to prove it does nothing?
