01xtreme Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I believe you have to run the wire from the engine block directly to the frame, cause otherwise the ground is really serving no purpose since it will still be flowing through you battery ground...if that makes any sense.

eaglescorpio1 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 batt neg to frame Quote Loud as f*ck, and sounds good doing it. Team built from here on out!!!! BIG things to come......... Missing link is the shite!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescorpio1 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 if you went from engine block to frame then batt neg to engine block, that means that the electricity has to flow through more metal (more resistance) to get to the batt negative from the ground where the amps are. LOL, unless the amps are grounded to the engine block!! Quote Loud as f*ck, and sounds good doing it. Team built from here on out!!!! BIG things to come......... Missing link is the shite!!!

eaglescorpio1 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 tell him to ground from the bolt on the alternator bracket. The alternator is directly bolted to the engine. run a ground cable from there to the frame of the car. Quote Loud as f*ck, and sounds good doing it. Team built from here on out!!!!

eaglescorpio1 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 see the mount. That is the ground that runs to the frame. Then run the batt negative to the frame. Does not have to be the same spot of the frame, just the frame. Quote Loud as f*ck, and sounds good doing it. Team built from here on out!!!! BIG things to come......... Missing link is the shite!!!
