Big three on a 1994 accord

[darkhunter139 10+ year member]

So has anyone ever done the big three on an Accord? I went out and checked under the hood and it seems pretty difficult.

I dont want to cut any wires then screw up my whole car if I cant get the new ones back in there. Anyone out there ever do the big three on an accord? If so how did it go and do you have any tips that would help me out? I am not doing it unless I am 100% sure I can do it right.

i think i have done a few.. i do sooo many car's in a month i forget and usually remember once i peek under the hood..

you dont exactly have to follow the stock alt cable to batt+

just make sure you run the batt- to good groundsw where you have removed paint from the frame..

as far as batt+ to alt + just run the cable away from heat and any moveing part's make sure to zip tie it in place at least every ft.

like i said you dont have to fallow the stock alt cable..

allso leave the stock alt cable and add whatever ga wire you are going to do it in.

Don't take out the old wiring then...just add onto it.

Hows that work? I just leave it connected or do I disconnect the old wire and tape it up?

i would leave the stock alt+ to batt+ run and add on to that.

but remove the old stock grounds and add some new beefy ones.

Ok so dont even touch that wire? That's the one that has potential to f something up right

correct..

i mean if you think about it, adding whatever ga wire you are going to use on the big three is going to decrese the resistence in the electrical system. so leaveing the stock alt cable & adding on to it verses removeing it and makeing ur own... see what i am saying...
