I've installed pivot ignition earth on my toyota wish two weeks ago. The torque has improved but my FC seems to have dropped. Was quite disappointed as I installed this more for the FC improvement. I also noticed that the effect on city driving is more. Anyone facing the same problem? Is this expected? I'm contemplating to uninstall the cable. Comment?

Yes, this is abit confusing. My FC was 12+ km/l now is 10+ km/l. It dropped right? So this is something that not very good.

I installed it at Autowerks in Singapore. Cost me 190 with Pivot Raizin VS with grounding point. They installed the grounding cable at the spark plug. Workshop told me that it is best to be near the spark plug. Not sure whether this is the right installation though.

direct to the plugs? what i can tell u, its connected to the most wrong place as dis will leak the voltage (dat is supposed to go through the plugs) through the grounding wires. grounding shud be traced before laid down anywhere, not just simply teka2 n put where ever

if increase torque also its only ur mind not ever the car
can feel extra 1-3% of extra torque ? i doubt that bro
please do not expect much from these kinda products
do u see a pivot ignition earth on 500hp cars ? :D
u might see magnecore or msd , bt not pivot ignition earth

pivot ignition earth is only going to improve your earthing
if your eathing is pretty bad , most to most from stock it will
improve slighttllyyy tinyyy bit.

and if it increase performance ,
know that increase performance more fuel , there is no such thing as extra performance low fuel unless u r running on methanol :P or such

ive recieved a pm from smallboy saying it wasnt connected to the plugs instead to the plug cover screw dat is bolted on to the head, for me dats connecting the wire to the head and its proper. the was i do it, was using a bulb and two wires connected to both its terminal. one wire goes to the positive terminal of the battery and another is used as a probe to determine where those earthing wires shud be put at. where ever gives me the brightest lite, i'll put a wire there.

there r places dat doesnt light up the bulb, dis places shud be avoided afiak.
