    Tough question? I gotta go do grown-up stuff...post it here and I'll research it for you when I get back.

    Cars have all kinds of ground wires Mike...turbos don't have them for any year...give me a year and model and I'll tell you what it's for.

    I never said this^^^^ I never directly referred to the "quality" of the factory wire, let alone say that it wasn't high-quality. Some is, some isn't. I said that if the factory wiring is in good shape, it's more than adequate. It is. I said that if the battery isn't relocated to the...

    Yeah...that would be laughable if I had said it. I never said anything about the quality of the wires. I did say that the circuit layout is more than adequate is the battery is in the stock location. And here's a hint just for you Mike...accesories run by the ECU, like solenoids...

    Yeah, well the rest of us who are trying to make cars FASTER know that adding 10 or 20 extra pounds of cable to a car does absolutely nothing to "improve the cableing" of the car. I have 2 guage in the wagon feeding the entire system from the rear of the car (appx 12 feet), from the switch...

    Yeah, you're right...you need a MUCH bigger ground than a postive...LOL Lesse...got a 4 guage positive cable feeding the starter and a 4 guage negative that goes from the battery to the block...better add 15 more ground straps just in case. It's amazing to me that people like you can...

    Your tenous grip on reality really has nothing to do with it. You could weld the motor to the frame and it wouldn't change the electrical connections...because the ECU doesn't ground to the motor.

    I'd just splice it onto the HEGO ground wire and connect 49 to the turbo like factory on a turbo. When I splice stuff like that, I don't cut the wire, I use strippers that can pull back the insulation and then solder the other wire over the existing wire...or cut it if you have to then heat...

    They don't. Some vehicles have a guage ground that goes from the intake to the firewall that's attached to the harness by a zip-tie or tape, but that has no connection to the EFI harness.

    If you're using the factory O2 to run the guage, then you should use the ground for that sensor...which would be pin 49. It's the orange wire that connects from the inlet area of the turbo and goes straight back to the ECU connector.

    Did you read close enough to see that the guy who made the post said EXACTLY the same thing I told you? That the grounds are for the guages, not the motor. Any time you hook up an electric guage, you need to give the guage a decent ground. Since the engine really has no (nor needs any)...

    Got a new motor for the wagon...

    It's 632ci Hemi. I think it's actually a KB block, if I recall. It's f-in sick...LOL The guy who owns it is this old dude who used to race something back in the day...now he wants this for a "driver". It's a "narrow A-body" Dart that's now full tube-chassied, with a Lenco and big-azz ET...

    Got a new motor for the wagon...

    Soo...what do y'all think? It's got a litle more torque, but I don't know... I took this with my phone. Please forgive the image quality. :)

    I try to explain IN-n-OUT to people who don't live here...but they never really seem to get it..."Yeah, we have "blah-blah" Burgers here." It's just not the same. :nonono: They peel and cut the potatos right there in front of you...:D Big buckets of future french fries...not frozen, not...

    Oh yeah..."Just slap a $1.25 piece of aluminum on a junkyard head and run like an ARCA" :rolleyes: How long can that take? Shouldn't you be in the garage "slapping it" right now? Oh wait :eek: ...you *are* "slapping it" right now... :rlaugh:

    That's a fair assessment I'd say. I never said it wouldn't "work", I said you could get the "benefits" of the Volvo head (satisfy overwhelming need for wide valvecover) with better reliability by a more efficient means.
