Car electrical efficiency

For those of you that followed my previous posts last year (before I became a power consumption reduction freak and trashed my old server ;)), you know that I added seven grounding wires to my car through trial-and-error (and the use of a multimeter) to yield some noticeable improvements.

A month ago, I decided to add a set of six grounding wires to Sukh’s Civic to see if I could witness any similar improvements. Sukh immediately noticed that the car’s low beams were brighter and that the stereo sounded better — the same improvements I witnessed with my car. I took several test drives and noticed increased low-end to mid-range torque, which was yet another improvement I witnessed with my car. So, there you have it. Adding several strategically placed grounding wires in the engine bay increases the overall effectiveness of a vehicle’s electrical system.
