aba4430 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Folks, I am going to be redoing the grounds on my Brat soon and was thinking about 8 and/or 10 gauge cable. Streetwires OFC power cables (both gauges) are quite cheap at EBay. Will also make custom battery cables from 1/0 Gauge Streetwires OFC power cable. I appreciate any recommendations.

beauregaardhooligan Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I should think the bigger the better for ground wires. Lots of gremlins have been traced to bad connections at the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobywagon Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 For the most part, a Subaru doesn't run enough current to warrant wires of that size. Really all you need are clean connections. Having said that, I'm running 4-ga between the battery and the engine block, the block and the body and the battery to the body. I've got 4-ga running from the battery to the starter and 8-ga to the fusible link cluster. My wire size choices were made predominantly by the fact that 4- and 8-ga wire was what I had on hand when I needed to do all that re-wiring. Realistically, you could get away with 12-ga grounds all the way around without a problem. You just have to make sure that the connections are clean and tight.
