Default SUN AUTO HYPER GROUND

ok first of all this is not a topic on if this system works or not, i allready have it so im going to install it. my question is, what points did you guys mount the terminals to? after looking online with no help, i mounted as follows battery negative ground to vtec solenoid (engine block). when i did this there was a tiny spark which confused me because there should of been no difference in potential between the NEGATIVE terminal and the engine block. from there i went from vtec solenoid to front chassis grounding point, then from front chassis grounding point LEFT to the grounding point on the RIGHT. so my questions are

wtf was with the sparking on my engine block?

where is the best points to ground to?

any pictures of the system installed on your car would be extremely helpful along with dyno results/personal experience if you have it.

Anywhere you want. It doesn't matter one bit.

i would agree except for the spark between my engine and battery terminal. says theres a difference in the potential there which is what worries me that im draining my battery.

its nothing. its similar to rolling static. the build up of it has not discharged fully until you have done this. jk.....i dont know what im talking about, but it sounds good right?

on a serious note i have the buddy club and i do notice only one thing....its pretty under the hood.

C'mon. If the OP wants to buy this stuff, who are we to discourage him? I'm 100% certain he will perceive a difference after the installation.

perception is reality. but is it really just perception? tell you guys what. ill do some tests tomorrow with my multimeter and try to see from a 3rd party perspective, from an electrical standpoint ONLY, the kinds of effects can be had by changing my currently installed ground wires with the sun wires. more to come...

Turning your car "off" doesn't turn it completely off. There are quite a few things that constantly draw current. Your radio is one of them. Anytime you close a circuit a spark is created. The light switches in your home do the same. A very small amount of current can cause a spark.

Regardless, what would adding a ground do to lower your current drain? Think about it.
