How Earth Straps Increase horsepower

[RTIO]

We have found that running more Earth straps on a Alloy Motor helps boost horseower.
Add 4 or more Earth straps to the motor and earthing your injecter bolts will also help having both ends
earthed , if you do it in a loop fashion .

Grounding straps, for the US folks.

dyno proof?

 

[RTIO]

Do it and find out for your self

 

[345s-bspinnin]

Any pictures?

I'm updating mine at the moment , looking for horse
Power from every corner . New type of coil pack , Wiers , plugs
Etc etc.

Any pictures?

I want to see this to

I dont think so. Why dont you SHOW it to us, since you have the proof.... Dyno sheet before and after would be nice.

 

[SingleMalt]

I totally agree with this post...



If you are experiencing grounding issues.

My Viper is in bits at the moment but if you would like to see it when it is back together just send me an email and i will send you pics then
but remeber that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink .
PS don't send me your email address . just email me.
Right hand drive Vipers look so much sexyer.

I'm not really sure how that expression applies here. I'm also not sure why you post something with no info or proof then when someone ask you for it you tell them to do it them selfs

If you've really discovered a way to improve the car and want to share with the Gen 2 community that'd be great but I'm not really up for the teaser that leads nowhere.

IF it is in "bits and pieces", then how did you prove your theory right???????

Please explain.

There is ZERO benefit from grounding straps, unless you have a grounding problem. Or is 4 simply better than 2???
Then 8 must give me double the horse power 4 does, right. I call horse sschit, you lead it where ever you want to.

Seeing you Viper does no good, how could I SEE the horsepower increase by you posting a picture of the straps, duh?

DO YOU HAVE A DYNO SLIP TO PROVE YOUR CLAIM???? I THOUGHT SO.

 

[bluesrt]

stick your finger in a light socket, it will give you more horse power too

All of you skeptical Viper guys are 100% correct in your doubts. Additional / redundant ground circuits don't help anything unless there's a problem with the existing ground circuit. Ground circuit faults can cause many false codes, driveability concerns, and whatever else. Remember, the ground is one half of the circuit. But there is NO WAY adding ground wires to your ride is gonna increase the output of the motor. Adding ground wires to the injectors is really stupid. (the injector driver circuits are ground side switched-ASD relay supplies battery voltage to one side of the injector, and the PCM opens and closes the injector by turning on and off the ground side.) The bodies of these injectors are plastic anyway. He's talking about adding wires to the injector mounting bolts (there's no bolts on the injectors). On and on and on, I have spent countless hours chasing ground-based drivability problems with a lab scope and/or multi-meter, repaired many, many vehicles without any parts replacement,....by fixing ground circuits. But for some odd reason, in almost 30 years in the auto service industry, I have yet to see an increase in any horsepower from adding grounds. -Allan -ASE certified master technician, L1 certified (advanced engine performance / drivability)

Iv seen alot of things posted with no proff
Over the last four years .
And I have the proof but as I said my car is
In bits .

[Vic]

I don't think the theory holds water either, but I see no reason to throw turds at him.

If I felt offended personally by his claim, I'd just mention that additional grounds can only help as said here, when there is a grounding problem.

Boom, done....next topic....

Spoken buy a true child. Give your self a pat on the back

 

[Dan Cragin]

I did find that grounding aluminum radiators reduced oxidation and corrosion. My 2 cents, if it helps.

 

[RTIO]

Have just puld manifold and rocker covers
To get powder coated .
But with remarks like I have seen today
I think they let to many kids / small
Minded people on this site and I can see why
You all can not get along with each other
Because there is only just fue nice people
Three . You want to through mud at me
U need to take a good lock at your self just to see
They your not a very nice porson .

Okay, I'm trying to be open minded, but if grounding straps worked, then would it mean it kept your injectors open constantly? I can't imagine if that assumption was true that the computer could adjust for the extra fuel. My 2nd assumption was that grounding straps would somehow align the molecules of fuel allowing the molecules to more densely pack in the fuel line nearest the injector....but even this I can't rationalize no matter how many beers I drink. My understanding that more power comes from increased airspeed into the combustion chamber and the computer will adjust with more fuel to a certain point using stock injectors and a stock computer. If you saw the a/f ratio leaning out, then you'd up the injector size.....if my reasoning is off and the beers have made me just a burping idiot, please help me understand the scientific theory. Bbbbuuuurrrrpp!

Welcome back to 2002. I hear these new APC intakes add 75 horse.


Lay off the fast and furious.

 

[RTIO]

No ,it is all about your spark plugs and any thing that needs an earth
Your manifold
Is bolted to your heads and the only way your heads get
Earthed is buy the bolts because of all the
Gaskets insulate each part .
PS and you have no proof that it dose not work
And I will have when I get it on the DYNO
So put up or shut up

 

[Zentenk]

Well, I'm sure no proof will ever be posted. I have seen these threads before and it always ends up as a dead end/troll thread.

It is up to you to prove us all wrong now and laugh in our faces, I am very excited about this.
