anyone have install this cable?
Last night i just install it.

I am using imitation HKS ground cable set. Reason I am buying imitation ones because it's just a wire anyway and grounding cable does not carry high current voltage. As long as proper point are covered and connected to the -ve terminal, I think it is adequate.

But after a year, the imitation cable sees a difference. Not only they discolor, they became harden and it cannot be bent anymore due to engine heat. So that is the difference of original and imitation.

Anyway in terms of improvement, I did not see much difference. Can't tell the butt-feel improvement cos I don't race the car anyway.

.... I had only grounding cables. No alternator cables. That may make a bigger difference. Biao, how much did you pay for the set?

i buy it rm200.

Does this HKS have a fuse? I wrote about something similar to this sometime ago

Tips for oId cars and electrical power.

It does indeed increase voltage and stabilizes it. Improved electronic performance especially ICE. Mine was custom made by EA Autoworks and they make theirs with a large fuse which you need since it's a direct connection from the battery to the alternator, any spike caused by a faulty alternator or battery will be protected by the fuse. You don't want two of your electricity providing devices to short out at the same time all because of one faulty component.
