"for my xB" well they're universal, so any SMALL kit on ebay will work..

i'd say don't spend over $40 for it.. it really doesn'thelp that much, the electrical system seems pretty strong stock, so it shouldn't make that big of a difference.

i installed SUNAUTO's hyperground kit (to the tune of $100 grrr) on my corolla and noticed small gains with the AC on.. the car didn't lag as much with the AC on.. other than that, it was the same..

you really can't feel 2HP ..

 

I spent 5 bucks on my ground wire kit with left over wire for another kit. Maybe I'll connect more points... for the hell of it. I bought 15' of 10 gauge speaker wire and 10 eyelet connectors (used ...

 

10 gauge eh?

sounds kinda small..

it's not about the wire size either.. it's about the insulation :D

 

The insulation was fine. It was comparable (heh, salesmen talk) to the lower gauge wires...

 

Hey thats my line!

 

completely useless considering your car is brand new and even dinky lil motors like the 1.5 probably has 100+ amp alternators. grounding wires were used first by japanese guys running around in 20 year old hachi/fc's who just didn't have enough juice flowing thru the negative in their chassis.

 

That would depend upon how much current you are carrying. The only wires on a car that are larger than 10ga are those to the starter and sometimes the hot wire from the alternator. If you're making auxilary grounds 10ga is more than enough.

On a ground wire? You don't need insulation at all!

Frankly, I think that auxilary grounding has dubious value, but if you want to try it this DIY grounding setup is every bit as good as the $$$ aftermarket kits.
