Voltage Stabilizer - Advise needed.
Hi guys, need a bit of help here.
Me wanted to do a DIY on this, and just bought the VoltageStabilizer + Grounding Kit.
As I was trying to install it, just to realize that the cable might not be long enough to get to the battery. I think the best place to mount the VC is probably on top of the casing just to the left of the battery. And because the battery has got a cover with deep side walls except the Positive outlet, it seems to be quite a stretch for the VC cables, especially the Negative ends.
I'm sure couple you guys here have done it, could you kindly post some pictures of how you VC is being connected to your battery, or just simply drop me a note here.
Thanks a bunch!

the only vast difference should be psychological....
a lot of pple say fuel consumption improve, throttle response better, idling speed constant, ICE system sounds better, lights dun flicker..... seriously, with or without.... i really tink its psychological..... cos install liao, psychologically feel that all the minor issues all solved....

Well, I've got my up.
I definately feel that the idling and throttle is smoother. As for the rest of improvements, I don't think so.
I've posted pix and my comments here

How much are they?
Do they really make the car stiffer? and better when cornering?

As for if it makes the car stiffer or improvement on cornering, I cant share much, as I have it installed when I got the car from my PI. That's when I've decided to keep the car stock for a year before starting to add anything on it.
So how long did you drive your car for, before you install the VS? Probably too short a time for you to tell the diff?
As i have driven my for a year before i install the VS, thus i know what the car feels like with and without it.

hey guys,
Anyone has got a Voltage Stabiliser installed?
Any obvious gains after installation?
Which brand would u recommend? Saw Pivot and Hot Inazma in some magazine, any views on them?

bro you are right all should be psychological effect but only one thing there is a great difference. The item is your ICE setup confirm plus garanttee cause i got a voltmeter thingy install in my car for my ICE normally it reads about 13 then it flactuates to 12.8 or 12.9 ever since i put in the VS and Grounding, it always stay constant at 13.5 leh
and the amp can tune to higher power output with stable effect
but all those are IMHO so pls i not starting any war if you think other wise then so be it ok

bro i think all the same lah just the branding and packaging only why i tell you
last car i own i have inazuma then reading for my volt meter managed to stay constant
then after i bought my 8 i went to MC Well they say inazuma cheong one must buy pivot with the letter K behind the capicitor in it. So i buy lor after installing it also give me the same effect leh

2 months back there was a dyno test for a grounding cable in import tuner magazine. There was a gain.
I have the pivot stab and ground installed the 1st mth i got my 8. Maybe it was psychological; but it felt good especially for only $150.
volt stabs are good to prevent spikes and dips. Benefits for this is quite obvious. Grounding is good especially if done properl; ground points and conductivity is important. eg. ground far from block vs ground on block.
What i agree with bro coupe07 is the capsule thing. I still cannot figure out how it will work.

wow the spelling almost the same man thanks for the info bro..
My old one is from taiwan cheong one cause i ang moh bo ho so that time buy kenna cheated.
but now i got the pivot one confirm real one cause kenna cut throat by MC Well some more got the alphbet K below the capacitor one hehe this time round i know how to diff the alphbet K cause my kindergadern teacher got teach me A,B,C etc hehehe
but as mention i agree to almost 85% to what you describe about the VS as phycological effect but the stabalizing of the voltage effect really got to give credit to it cause stable voltage really helps in ICE..
