ROAD_DOG Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) ok here is some thing I would like some opinions on doing the big 3 Option 1 for positive post to alternator route cable along the area outside of the radiator. Option 2 for positive post to alternator route cable along driver side fender area and along firewall away from engine and around air cleaner and for ground as all ways negative to engine block but to ground to chassis I choose to ground at the strut tower because the other ground is rite on the fender of my car I could also use a small piece of 4 gauge cable for the fender in addition to grounding at the strut tower. your feed back is appreciated Edited February 20, 2011 by ROAD_DOG Quote
big dee Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 i would try to make all you runs as short as you can. try to keep them away from moving parts . and high heat spots like the exaust. or places that it could wear a hole in the insulation. Quote
Guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 i would choose option 2 due to me thinking that the wire casing will rub against the hood when you close it if you chose option 1 Quote
big dee Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 option 1 would be the better than option 2. i dont think all you grounds have to go directly to the batt. just ground the batt to the frame. and ground every thing eles there too. no need to run a ground to the block. the blocks already grounded. i would use conduit on all the power wires.

big dee Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) well i figured that the wires not going right in that spot. probly just showing it there so we can see it. or atleast i would hope so lol Edited February 22, 2011 by big dee Quote

ROAD_DOG Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Posted February 22, 2011 I might just go with option 1 and route along the radiator Ill just buy some high resistant insulator or jacket Quote
ROAD_DOG Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Posted February 22, 2011 oh and my car is a 92 honda accord so it has no frame which is why I choose to ground at thw strut tower Quote
big dee Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 my bad i dint think the block needed grounding Quote
