i would do it but im having problems getting it to run right, so i probably wont even be able to tell...

 

I may get to it this afternoon.

 

yea let us know, if it works im gunna use 0 gauge wire for a super increase

 

im sure youd just need a little wire.....

 

I was just thinking a little 10 gauge

 

get to it

 

I got some spare 8G in my closet but I dont have the time to do it.

 

funny how a quick 2 mn mod takes days to do

 

But it takes time to test it which i dont have.

 

i'm kinda curious here.

 

Let us know if you get it tomorrow via USPS

Ya done yet?

 

Nobody has done this yet? lol ss.net is dropping the ball

 

**** it, i'm bored, i have some spare wire

off to the mad science lab.

 

Yesssss, I may try this out tomorrow pending no one reports car's exploding haha.

 

i gotta try this

 

okay, got back, used a bit of 8 gauge amp wire i had left over.


ehhh, i guess it didn't hurt anything, but i don't really notice any vast improvement either.

 

I wouldn't expect much, but does the seat dyno tell you its worth the 5-10 mins?

 

well, sure, but you're also assuming that's it's not all in my head.

 

i tried it i didnt notie any thing just verry lil better throttle responce i guess its worth the 5 min of time

 

i just did same results hell i dont even know if felt any difference probably take a couple days see if i notice anything

 

so nothin happend...hmm. i might try it just to see if it does anything interesting

 

I don't think this will help really -- because the TB motor and position sensors are not grounded to the throttle body case. The wiring is shielded and goes through the ECM/TAC controls and doesn't appear to have a direct ground -- according to the factory service manual schematics.
Adding a wire won't help or do any damage -- but if you have a short in the TB it might provide a direct ground to wherever you attach it and that might be worse.

 

Add this to the fail list..

 

There's nothing wrong with looking for any simple help Just need to research parts before attempting -- if you can....

 

^^^ i agree as well but you need to think some stuff over in you head before buying all kinds of random crap. Grounding the TB can and would only effect something electrically and even then it would be assuming there was something to be helped. So an increase in power isnt logical. Even assuming you were to think the extra ground could somehow help the sensors by providing less resistance you would have to also prove there is too much resistance for said sensor. If ur stock HU which actually makes power and has all kinds of electrical mumbo jumbo in it has an 18g ground the tb sensor would in no way need more then that.

To further make my point if what you are saying is true and a bigger ground would make a difference then anyone that has any LED of any kind should automatically rewire it with 8g power and ground so it can get "brighter"
