  • Keep all the electronics in your vehicle happy! In this video I show you how to build a grounding kit from scratch. The Camry where I show you how to build it isn't the "Big 3" because I didn't up grade the alternator wire, but you can carry the theory across and just run a wire to the alternator.
    I do show you later in the video examples of other vehicles I've done which DO have the Big 3 done.

    You can never have enough grounds!! Did the same thing to my Chevy truck. Works wonders on older cars also. Stock chassis grounds connections will degrade. Road grime interferes with frame ground connection overtime. It's nice to check them over in the summertime. Happy grounds happy car. New heavy grounds just makes a more reliable car even if you don't have a aftermarket sound system. Plus it's easy to do on most cars.

    The "BIG THREE" wiring change under the hood. Big Audiofiles running mobile amps etc use this change to beef up power delivery. This is where it gets interesting.....I perform the BIG THREE by NOT REMOVING BUT ADDING IN PARALLEL additional 6 gauge battery cables to the stock small cables running from:
    1. The (-) battery to fender ground.
    2. The Battery (+) to fuse box feed.
    3. Right front cylinder head engine (available threaded bolt) to left shock tower bolt(ie frame connection to engine block)
    4. added cable from stock altenator (+) output to Battery (+) post following stock cable.
    5. I also beefed up the stock (-) ground run straight run down form the (-) battery post to the frame behind the front left tire at frame.
    Ok, so I made 5 changes but effectively still falls under the Big Three change rules to follow. You can google Big Three wiring change and see those basic rules to follow or implement.
    All cables simply doubled up providing an effective 3 to 4 gauge connections.
    Now, not a bit of head light flicker, voltage maintianed 14.2v charging voltage at all times.
    But here's what else has occured and what I wanted to share with you.
    1. Slightly brighter headlights.
    2. Engine starts are far quicker...no lag in starter (Same stock battery BTW) It's more of a snap start vs the ruh..ruh..start. Starter has better power feed even though I did not increase the starter cable feed size.
    3. Here's the kicker...I am seeing 1.5 MPG average increase in fuel economy!! I actually had a tank on a long mostly freeway trip to Monterey a couple weeks back get me 18.2 MPG! Otherwise very same drive to work and back. This has to be due to increased power delivery to the ignition system and a stronger spark through those independent coils. Also by doing this you increase the distance of your remote starters.
    This additional big three wiring done by yourself would cost you about $30.00 tops in cable and dual bolt lug battery lead clamps all available at your local auto store.
    Just wanted to share this out. I have a photo's of my install. BTW, I'm an EE by trade.

    @WHALEHUNTERGATHERER Well I don't really plan on making another video like this for a while. Like the video shows, you go from negative terminal on the battery to chassis, motor to chassis and alternator to the positive terminal. You just have to find bolts on the motor and chassis that aren't really doing anything and hook them up.

    @chrisanderson9100 10 лет назад +7

    Goddamn! Are you sure 900 grounds are enough? Better add 900 more, just to be safe. Most of your points are valid but holy shit.
    As far as manufacturers skimping on wiring to save money, couldn't be more wrong. They're all fighting for fuel efficiency and CAFE ratings. No way in hell are they going to jeopardize losing .0001 mpg to save a couple strands of copper, not happenin. Engines are finely tuned and part of that comes from optimizing EVERY single little resource, including vehicle electrical and networking of various modules.

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  10 лет назад

      My point wasn't they were trying to conserve weight. Copper is just playing expensive so if they can minimize how much they use, they're going to save a lot of money.

    • @Kruilty
      @Kruilty 10 лет назад +2

      Auto makers use the cheapest wire they can find. It's all about saving weight and those CAFE ratings. But as an EE, The less V-Drop, heat loss ( energy), in any system is always a good thing. Especially for MPG. Look at it this way, with the added bigger cables, everything runs cooler. Less resistance means less heat. WE all know that running cooler makes more power

      @eriksayer884 9 лет назад +1

  • @averyalexander2303
    @averyalexander2303 2 года назад +4

    Great video as always, love your channel! However, I wouldn't say that a valve cover is necessarily a reliable ground because it's often electrically isolated from the engine by the rubber gasket. Even the nuts/bolts that hold it down often don't directly contact the valve cover since they usually have rubber seals around them too. On some vehicles it could work fine, but I'd rather just ground directly to the head or block and remove all doubt.

    I agree but for most people this is more than enough for the avg daily driver. I didn't show all the grounds on my truck but I'll list them. I grounded each cylinder head to frame, front of cab to frame, rear of cab to frame, transmission to frame, exhaust to frame, battery to frame and block. I didn't bother with the tb and yes mine is electronically controlled. I think i did a proper "overkill" set up, beginners would just get bombarded, so I show you the basics and you go from there.

  • @AnthonyJ350
    @AnthonyJ350  8 лет назад +2

    For Brent Terry since they have their reply setting on restricted. All we're doing is preventative maintenance and allowing electricity to take the least path of resistance. So if you have an aluminium valve cover it will be able to conduct from the head of the fasteners (if they're touching the metal) and flow to the cylinder head. Each application will vary. I believe the ground you're refer to is the one on the Civic. And I actually replaced a factory ground. So the engineers at Honda put that there, I just put a better wire on.

    • @anthonytaylor828
      @anthonytaylor828 8 лет назад

      The valve cover does not touch the head anywhere... It is separated by a gasket, and the fasteners are separated by their own o-rings... Makes little to no sense to ground to the valve cover

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  8 лет назад

    • @anthonytaylor828
      @anthonytaylor828 8 лет назад

      +AnthonyJ350 that vehicle was a toyota wasnt it?... Honda does it to ground sensors in the valve cover, the ground you added would in no way affect the spark plugs because their grounded component(cyl head) in no way makes metal to metal contact with the valve cover

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  8 лет назад

      Anthony Taylor Every vehicle is different. I do a continuity test and I test for resistance to see if there is any ground to begin with and if there has been any improvement. I don't show that step because it's over people's heads that are new to this. My theory is based on what I find stock on other vehicles. Look at the valve cover on a 1996-2000 Civic, front on the driver's side.

      +AnthonyJ350 im not saying that you dont know what youre doing man... Im just pointing out that you are incorrect in saying that a ground to the valve cover (in ANY vehicle) will in some way help the spark plugs, yes it will help sensors mounted to the metal valve cover, just not the spark plugs like you mention... To help the plugs, a direct ground to the cyl head needs to be made

    I don't have a big amp in my truck and I don;t spend a lot of time researching articles like this, but I was employed as an electronics installer for over 30 years so these things catch my interest. Since I have a standard Ford pickup truck without any amps or special electronics, and my truck has run fine for 278,000 miles, I don't see the need for any electrical improvements. I have read the comments about how these grounding improvements can help the engines run better, transmissions shift better, etc. But to me these are just " guy next door" theories, i.e. opinions. Until I see the engineering data and tests that can be measured , it is all just a theory to me. Maybe there is data. I just haven't seen it. Interesting video though.

    It can't move though, you've created an already solid mechanical connection by crimping it in the vice. it's crushed in the vice first, then soldered then lightly held again in the vice for a heat sink. If I only soldered it I would see your point, but in that time frame the solder has solidified enough you can cool it. I have never had a cold solder joint doing it like this. In a high volume environment, you have to go as fast as possible, make it ultra reliable and make it look good.

      I agree. However from a car manufacturer perspective, if it costed even an extra few bucks, it adds up when you're making 50,000 cars. That would be an extra $150,000

    Hi Anthony. can this upgrade help me to get more voltage from alternator? i notice now my alternator not giving 13.8V where most claim as ideal working voltage. i do measure at battery terminal while engine run i just get 13V instead of 13.8V. done same testing without battery connected also same result. does it a sign that my alternator gonna die soon?

  • @numinous4789
    @numinous4789 8 лет назад

    At what point do you recommend the Big 3? I have A 500-watt RMS bass amp turned down to 300 (for the sub), and a 4-channel that puts out 60x4 RMS. That's less than 600 total, which divided by 14.4 volts would be about 42 amps. My 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 has an over 100-amp alternator, IIRC. I think I'm good. Thoughts?

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  8 лет назад +1

      +Numinous You should be ok as long as you have a good quality battery that can recharge quickly. You can never go wrong with the Big 3. Or to make it easier just upgrade all the grounds.

  • @madjimms

    You should heat the ring terminal from the BACK while applying the solder to the opposite side to reduce the amount of lead vapor.

    Is there a fuse between alternator (+) and positive battery terminal? Do you use 4gauge for ground only? Is it overkill to use 2GA or 1GA?

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  4 года назад

      There's typically a fuseable link on newer vehicles. I typically use multiple 4 gauge. IF you have thicker wires and can run it nicely it doesn't hurt to go bigger. Especially if you have a bigger sound system.

    • @AnthonyJ350
      @AnthonyJ350  8 лет назад

      Having the battery far from the alternator, the vehicle is more susceptible to getting "engine noise" when doing a sound system. I would still ground the motor at the front and throw a thicker ground from the battery to chassis in the back of the vehicle.

  • @AndrewChan84
    @AndrewChan84 11 лет назад

    The resistive losses in the wires are equivalent to I(square)R. Also, the voltage at the load will be less than the source whenever a high current flows through thin wires. Electrical engineers in car companies balance between performance, reliability, cost, and marketing strategy. And that means there will always be room for cheap aftermarket performance improvements.

  • @nekolin
    @nekolin 10 лет назад

    not many do but a grounding kit involves grounding the block, alt, transmission, tbody, and frame twice in either a two line or loop formation and in modern racing is very important to have it done in that way along side a big3 also its usually better to ground transmission to block to tbody then to the frame as for you big 3 you did great on it but you should do a proper gkit to protect your electronics and help you truck perform better

      98 ford explorer V6 4.0 SOHC. Its idling really low to the point where it even stalled at every light. Gpt a new battery,New IAC, new PCV, cleaned throttle body multiple times. Over the weekend i replaced the manifold gaskets as well. Now the car doesnt stall but at idle it will dip under 500rpms and the dash lights dim and engine shakes a bit then pops back up to 600rpms. It'll do this mostly when car is warmed up. WHen the car does stall it starts right back up. Never had an issue with it starting. I do have a stereo system in it. I still have all the stock grounds which are of course a bunch of puny little wires. So since the battery was new and the multimeter tells me that its fine and with car on and full load the alternator is charging it. But when i check the ground on the alternator case itself its showing nearly 4 times the resistance desired.

    Sir, it is my opinion only, that if you had "fluxed" your wire before you crimped it in the vise, the solder used would have "runned" and "coated" your target wire faster, and even would have made you a better electrical connection overall.
