Where do you ground Nology wires?

Hey fellow Cooper owners,

I have a set of Nology wires to install, but got them used and don't have instructions. For those out there that have them, where have you attached the short ground wires? Did you have to get a grounding kit to ground the wires somewhere further away on the frame?


Thanks,

For future reference, they attach to the two bolts from the fuel rail.

Is there any noticeable performance increase, or any changes to economy?

I'm in the same boat, just purchased a set of Nology for my MINI and no clear instructions on where to ground. You mentioned the two bolts on the fuel Rails?
Just want to make sure I'm on the right sheet of music, these are the two big bolts on the rail for the fuel injectors?
I will appreciate any feed back or better yet photo or illustration.

happy motoring.

I know I'm a little late to the party but about a year ago I installed the Nology wires and grounded them to the fuel rail like mentioned. I did this at night with a flashlight and all seemed well on the test drive. Before I locked us and went in for th night I checked out and made my usual after modification checklist of finding screwdrivers bolts and making sure the car started well and I noticed small consistent sparks dancing on my fuel rail. After seeing this I unplugged and found another ground. Has anyone heard of this? Also currently when the car is on and I touch the grounded wires I get a small tingling shock that's been there since install. Is this normal?
