    Tossed one on mine and I cant say it made a huge difference in throttle respone but my fuel economy has gone way up! Ill take it 🤷‍♂️ never hurts to be grounded!

    Crazy I was just researching this after watching your old video about this mod and read through a whole old forum post with 73 pages with mixed reviews. I just got a 08 mazda 3 2.0l and definitely going to try this since I have a big delay when stepping on the throttle that's pretty annoying especially coming from a miata or even a protege5 with cable throttle that is instant.

    • @ColtonRichter

      People argue it doesn't work because it's not a whole world of difference, but the science is there to prove it does.

      @@ColtonRichter Yeah, it really doesn't hurt to try. I might just buy a 6 gauge stranded copper battery terminal ends for 7 dollars from a local hardware store since my crimp tool doesn't go up to 8 gauge and im guessing the 6 gauge would be even better. If anything, I can always return it but I am pretty sure this will help that delay when i first tap the pedal.

    I wasnt sure about this but then i did it and i found its super good when mounted to trans housing, side of engine housing, throttlebody, alternater housing bolt, and left front strut on my mazda 3 2012 itouring. If your looking to get this def do it makes the car feel alot cleaner and the trans on the auto is more snappy. The music also sounds crisper and bass is a little better.

    Im boosted on a 1st gen basemodel mz6, and gettin out to accelerate would be hesitant and sluggish, as soon as I grounded the tb, the response was so greatly improved and doing pulls would be instant response.

    I wrote a comment on your last throttle body ground video recently, but I'll also write one here for anyone who hasn't seen that video.
    I can 100% confirm it works, I did it to my auto 2nd gen 2.5 about 3.5 years ago and noticed a big difference straight away. A few weeks ago I also did it to my recently-acquired manual gen 4 Legacy 3.0R, and it's made it much easier to drive, especially considering this is my first manual car.
    A lot of cars these days, including the NA Mazda 3s and my Subaru Legacy, have plastic intake manifolds, meaning they're only relying on the factory ground wire which is often ineffective. On a car with a metal intake manifold, this won't work as they're already properly grounded through the manifold.

    • @ColtonRichter
      @ColtonRichter  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Only thing I can think of is if you removed any part of your intake like MAF sensor. Double check everything is tightened again properly and is routed correctly.
