Where does this piece go??????

[TISon28s]

[IMG]hey guys I recieved this piece with my wiring kit and i don't know where to mount it. I'm pretty sure all the wires connect to this, but, just don't know where to put it, also there are bolts that hold the wires in ther as well as the bigger bolt on bottom that clamps on to something. thanks!

[suby01]

not sure but coming from radio and car system expierienace that looks like it goes onto your battery terminal. negative one to be exact.

[smockers83]

That guy mounts to one of the screws on the front of the engine. The circle part is up, facing you, and the wires do mount to it.

Hope this picture helps. I'm not sure exactly where it goes as my kit doesn't have that piece.

[tollboothwilley]

what kit did you get?

[Sentientbydesign]

Post up a picture of the whole install and I'll tell you what you're missing...you WILL be missing important parts. Other than GG and the few copy cats, I haven't seen another G kit that was thorough

btw, i need the points for the ECU and the transmission. SHould i mount the piece on the negative terminal or a bolt on the front of the engnine?

[cheapazz]

That large piece yer holding LOOKS like it would mount to the batt. terminal like suby said. Normally they would mount to the engine but maybe you got a different type of kit. If possible email the seller or manufacturer to get ahold of some directions or a link to get some. Or maybe they can put you in touch with someone who knows.

Should have just bought a kit from me

[TISon28s]

sorry stb.... does anyone have pics for the transmission ground and the ecu ground?

[Sentientbydesign]

Do me a favor, since I'd rather not post up my hard work for others to copy.

Post up what you've got so far and I'll help you out. There's a grand possibility that you will need to add on to the kit you bought or do some "fun" modifications.

Be sure to get some zip ties (just a couple) and a m6x15 bolt.

EDIT: Just cuz I'm mean ( yeah right) and since I want some enjoyment for helping you. Here's that gorgeous blue wire that you wanted

[smockers83]

The ECU wire will go through the dome rubber piece by the battery. That'll lead it down towards the ECU. You'll have to drop the glove box and you'll see two modules bolted to the wall. The big one on the top and the easiest to get to is the ECU.

The transmission wire, if you feed it straight down towards the ground and lift the car, you will see a wire harness that is held in place by a metal bracket connected to the transmission...that's where you'll mount that one.

Thanks so much for your help!!!!!!

So the big piece that im holding goes on my negative terminal as well as one end of each wire. The other end im assuming, goes on the ground points? please correct me if im wrong.

Stupid Generic kits!

I dunno if I would put that piece on the battery, personally I would be a little hesitant. All the kits I've seen that have a battery cable only have one cable to the battery, not 5. Plus, with car stereos and what not, you're connecting cables to the positive post, not the negative.

Huh? All of the electricity is routed back to the negative side of the battery. I don't like the negative terminal as a hub because of the shear waste of wire and the high difficulty in getting X amount of wires to the battery compartment, but I don't think there will be any performance drawbacks from doing that.

What I'm curious about is:

A) Will that red jacket stand up to engine heat?B) What are the terminals made of? (Not what they're coated with)C) What's the nexus/hub made out of?D) Are the wires long enough to get to the battery if they are routed in that fashion?

[BrandAidDesignG35]

Yeah, I had that kit, but it's crap mate... The stupid kit didn't actually seem like it made sense, you should send it back and get one from supapimp!!! SBD!!!

It's an NRG kit I think, Those two pieces don't actually go together, I think the aluminum rectangular piece goes on the negative battery terminal, and the large 8 hole aluminum platform must be mounted... but really, is just a waste of your time.

Mount the wires right on your plenum, but don't tighten them too much, 7lbs is good... Good luck, you will notice a difference, but SBD are the cats meow boi!!!

I would be hesitant because I don't think that's how it's supposed to be setup. I was hesitant because I didn't think those pieces went together like BAD said. When installing car stereos and amps, you hook up your power via the positive post and ground it via the chassis, particularly for amps, in response to suby.

Where do you think the chassis is connected to?

[smockers83]

The tires, duh!j/k

I know it all comes back, but I mean it just wouldn't make sense to have all those cables on the - post.

That's the point of grounding (well, one of them anyway)
