Just got Hyper Ground Wires installed!
 
Yup! Just got them installed last night. It does make a difference! Expecially from about 3,500 - 5,000 rpm, you can actually fell it kick. Idle and slow, regular take off is smoother, head lights don't flicker when I roll up the windows to the max. But overall good power increase feels great, definitely worth it! They look cool too, I got the red "S" type ("S" for small type, small Japanese cars, I guess) ones, of course :D Get yours today!!

Ive been planning to get this system as well...how much did yours cost?? The price doubles when it comes across the border
:(

BTW can you post some pics as well? I really want to see what it looks like!

Prices for the S seem to run from 118 to 98 bucks US.

It does make a difference!
 
Like I mentioned... it does make a difference. I paid $120 USD with installation. I got the red cables to match my car... it looks awesome, kinda see-through candy red. It makes the engine compartment look good too. Very good power increase "feel" between 3500-5000 or so rpm. Just got it so don't know about other claims like increased mileage...

those actually amde a difference? im sorry... can you please dyno your car before and after if at all possible... i have to see this. im not trashing you, i just want some proof that those actaully did anything for you....

Wow, $120 for a ground wire? Thas crazy. I can make one that'll do the same thing for less than $15. It may not look as "pretty", but who cares.

go check out Import Tuner and some of the other magazines...they've used this hyper ground system on an Aerio and Integra I believe, and they have gained 1-5 HP, (more like 1-3 for the P5), but they also said it adds a little torque and it really helps your electrical system like Protege5lava says...Im having problems with things dimming, so Im really considering getting this...

azrakain January-25th-2003 05:00 PM

newest import tuner says that the wrx system will give 8 hp.

He did a pretty crappy job, but that's the idea. If I were to make my own, I'd solder ALL of the connections. Crimp jobs are just asking for trouble (read: corrosion). I still have yet to see any proof in adding beefier wires.

Where do you get about 5 feet of quarter inch thick 99.9% copper wires at $15? Please share this info.

obender66 April-16th-2003 06:16 PM

1/4" copper cable is ~2 gauge. It is $3-5/ft-oxidation resistant with chemical and gasoline proof jacket. Go to local car audio store.

hey Protege5Lava,

can you post some pics of where these ground wires are attached on your protege. Thanks.
