Guys, hope this picture can help those who are doing grounding for the first time.. virnorgouki dude, the cable that I
bought is not long enough, but I took the longest one to jumper from gearbox to alternator.. I took approx. 1.5 hour
to complete this project blush.gif  P.S. remember to fix back the original (-) grounding. I bend the bracket a bit so that
the existing negative cable lug can go in..
My next project will be fixing up a voltage stablilizer, after I come back from Taiwan next week... tongue.gif
Happy DIY.. biggrin.gif

Thanks very much bro. i took 2 hours done. haha...

I am no good in doing DIY. Any shop that can do this for my EB? How much will it cost?

Please do share the finding after this.. eager to see the result...

TQ

2die4 dude, Sorry to know that yr EB are having such a problem.. Mine is also having the same symptom as yours for #1 & #2.
My OCV valve already changed twice and my CFE is the 1st batch (January batch). Mileage juz passed 9k.. After the second OCV changed, my EB was running fine for about 1.5k km mileage, then the "engine mati" symptom came back once a while... Fortunately, akchang dude reminds me on the grounding project which I had done on
my ex Toyota SEG years back..
Now, I had it DIY on my CFE for 2 weeks already.. As usual, I did 5 important points grounding, which consists :-

*2 points on the body - (important coz proton only did 1 grounding, its mounted to the body, in between the body
  & ground wire, there's paint, so i don't know how good the existing grounding are.)

*1 point to the alternator - (important, coz alternator is a generator which generate current to the battery.)

*1 point to the engine - (important, whole engine is sitting on the rubber engine mounting & high current runs to
  the spark plugs, so, I dun know how good is the grounding there also)

*1 point on the gearbox - (in between gearbox and the engine, there's a gasket, we dun know how good also)

This is my 2 weeks findings:-

1) Smoother engine - although slight jerking is still there, but has improved. It could be the Punch CVT gearbox
    character is like that..
2) So far no engine stalls - could be too early to confirm this, need more time to test.
3) Air-con fan - can feel the efficiency of the fan has improved - slight improvement.
4) Radio reception - slight improved
5) Headlamp light - slight brightness improved
6) Battery - my ex ride T.SEG battery has longer lifespan, although sound system been upgrade with amplifiers, so
    not sure about our EB..

Hey bro, your grounding so much more expertise and complicated then mine! Thanks for the share! I would like to do the next grounding to the alternator.

thank bro... will try to grounding based on ur setup...

just need to ask... all your grounding connected to battery... means that:

1. battery to body
2. battery to alternator
3. battery to engine
4. battery to gearbox

2die4 bro, as u can c frm the attached photo, all the points are frm battery, execpt thr alternator ( hence; frm batt to gearbox point n then frm the same point to the alternator).
akchang, thx, but, really i can't thank you enough for reminding us abt the grounding project.. Yuupe, i do think u shouldn't forget abt one important point there, 'the alternator'. This project is so cheap n so worth of trying out.. I bought the wires with printed HKS on it only cost RM12 bucks !! So guys, happy DIY! biggrin.gif
Dun forget to feedback if there's any new findings smile.gif

So you continue to have a much better feel with those grounding works?

Could it Proton overlooked the good grounding design that lead to those "remeh temeh" problem?.

I talk with my SA during first serviced. He mentioned GC & VS consider performance part, proton not installed it to save cost. He said install it not void warranty as long as we not disturb/alter/adjust the original wiring/cable. Anyway he adviced me to install good quality cable & VS, Otherwise wasting our money. He also mentioned not all car will improved or only small improvement even with highend/expensive GC & VS. May be I will try it with eric coz got warranty!

bro klate, honestly i dun know if this is what proton has overlook on these.. But if u hv yr Toyota Unser grounding done like this, u will also enjoy the different.. biggrin.gif
My evaluation done is base on the past 2 weeks which was honestly written to u guys & on the third week, my EB is in KL & I'm still in Taipei enjoying the food n scenery cool2.gif
2die4 dude, frankly i dun know if proton kacau or not, if they kacau i also will not remove it, coz this r arguable, its not for any high performance racing, but to help stablilizing the overall circuitry performance..

I just ordered VS & Grounding Wire from one of the forumer... will try to DIY it this weekend if got time...

BTW... this morning my EB need to crank 3 time before the engine get started... sweat.gif
Last week already go to Mutiara Damansara SC, the mechanic there already test drive and diagnosed it... unfortunately, he said there is no problem with my engine... sweat.gif

Mech said if it happen again, need to send to them for Technical Reports.... hmm.gif

FYI, not sure why but the jerking and engine feels want to "mati" during idling not happens since last week... rclxub.gif

bro, last time my fren fixed up his old cd player with amp is to another car charges is around RM90 ~ 100, so for this simple one i think sud b around RM20 ~ 50 for workmanship..

Guys, the VS already cost around RM90 (if u know the guy well, might be more cheaper), so, RM120 for the two items r quite resonable..

for me, i think install grounding cable only is enough already coz its cheap. to buy a vs need another rm100+-

after one week installed the grounding cable. what i can comfirm is my car feel very very light.
radiator fan seems not very loud already.
for the radio receiving, headlight brightness i cannot comfirm coz i cannot see too much difference. or maybe its jz a slightly better, on feeling maybe? hehe...

oh ya, how do u guys think abut the aftermarket air filter? currently im ordered redline drop in air filter, its a dry cotton filter and no nd reoil.
but im confusing now, i think that high flow filter will give better airflow but less filtering on dust. the oem paper filter should be better on filtering.
so hows u guys opinion? change or not? i scare my engine get dirty.
