Apparantly grounding properly will benefit any engine, 6M/T and Auto alike. The engine will run smoother, start easier, and generally feel more 'alive'.
There is a minimal increase in hp (a few) due to increased efficiency that you probably won't notice.

Of course in an Automatic, grounding the TCU will have the added benefit of smoother and more positive shifting.

Lots of positive feedback from this mod including from myself.
I'm presently waiting on a set for my M45. One of my favoured mods.

Thanks

 

Agreed. My 6MT ran noticeably smoother w/ a lower idle after installing the wires. I haven't installed the ECU wire yet but based on the fact that it makes sense to ensure a good common ground to the computer (and the fact that I know first-hand that the other ground wires made a difference) that's one of my next mods.

Don't consider doing this mod JUST for added hp - you'll be wasting your time.

 

Very nice product. Gord does a good job and produced the best ground wire setup I have seen. IM very happy with it. I have the feeling of a better tuned car. Looks good also.

 

Anyone have pics?

 

Thanks again, everyone for your comments. I just got back to my computer, after being away for a bit and got a message from Gord.

I'll be getting the 6MT Performance System in blue, once I get the proper money order.

As for under-the-hood-mods,if you will, I have installed a Z Tube a few days, ago. I plan on installing Gord's GroundingGear kit . . . And that will be it . . . LOL . . . I think. I don't think my G needs much of anything else . . . LOL . . . I think.

This is an awesome community. I want to commend and thank everyone for their time and input for us newbies.

 

I had a few requests lately specifically re GroundingGear™ Systems' effects on the 6MT. Unfortunately, I didn't separate the feedback with the 5AT and the 6MT from 2003/04.

On The Review Thread, I posted a few responses from those that I know have the 6MT, most from this year . Hope this helps.

 

Here's a picture of Gordgee's 6MT Performance System in red on my 05.

 

dirty engine bay! lol jk, where'd you get the battery cover on the driver side?

 

Nice! How long of an install is this? Anything complicated?

 

Ordered through www.grubbsperformance.com

 

Install takes about an hour, really easy except for the wire that connects to the passenger side fender well. You need to remove the bracket that holds the hood sensor in place, and if you have big hands it can be tough. The ECU wire is also a little tricky as you have to remove the glove box, but it's not that bad at all.

When you replace the plastic plenum cover, be careful not to overtighten the bolts as you can strip them pretty easily. Gord sends some printed instructions that are well laid out. My only wish is that there was a pic of the drivers side fender well mount point, I wasn't sure exactly where it should go for a couple of minutes. When you find the existing grounding wire it becomes obvious.

Tools - just a 10mm socket and a way to cut or drill the rubber battery cover surround. I'd post a picture but the above one looks exactly like mine.

 

Sounds pretty easy! Thanks for the tips!

 

Great! Thanks! I have been looking for this extra cover.
