Should I get this? Possible snake oil?

[Characteristics]

The T1R Voltage Stabilizer regulates the voltage of the car's electrical system, providing constant voltage at all times. Normally the electrical system's voltage will fluctuate under acceleration resulting in power loss and rough power delivery. The Voltage Stabilizer eliminates this voltage fluctuation, providing a constant voltage, thereby smoothening power delivery and optimizing power. Low rpm performance is improved noticeably, with improved response, acceleration, and smoothness. Fuel economy is also improved, especially for city driving conditions. Dyno proven 3-5 hp gains. (Dyno tested on SNK's dyno on a B18C Civic)

[Advantages]

-Increase of Torque / Response / Power
-Improvement of gas mileage
-Stabilization of electric sensors and ECU
-Improvement of audio sound quality
-Better brightness of headlamp
-Improvement of battery life

B18C's the latest gen civic right? so I guess it's not just big gains on old cars like earth/ground kits? can anyone tell me what's the diff between this and a grounding kit?

And also what do ppl think of this "Fuel ionizer" (I'm more doubtful of this since there's no dyno chart) http://www.aj-racing.com/product.php...er&company=T1R

My guess is that dyno is from a B18C5, also known as the Integra Type R (DC2). It was 200 hp stock, and with some mods it could get up to 200 whp, which is close to what that is showing. It's less likely that the chart is for the other variety of B18C, from the Integra GSR.

Might be good on an older electrical system. Price is kinda steep for a simple voltage regulator though (could build one much cheaper)

The B18C is the GSR, and it's very probable to see dynos like this from that engine. The engine from the GSR and the type R are identical. The 18, in case no one knew stand for the literage, all Hondas label their engines this way. The type R had a more free flowing exhaust and a different intake manifold if I remember correctly. Otherwise the engines were the same. I could be wrong, but I am almost positive.

Yup, you are :) The B18C5's were hand-assembled in Japan, complete with polishing of the intake manifold and head. The head, transmission, and pistons are all different from the normal B18C, with a 10.6 compression ratio over the GSR's 10.0. These changes are good for 195hp@8000RPM/130lb-ft@7500 over the 170hp@7600RPM/128lb-ft@6200 for the B18C.

You got me, haha. So different pistons, head, and and tranny, hmm food to know. Thanks Draco, sometimes I make myself believe things like this, when I am wrong, please let me know.

All of those are 100% snake oil. Do NOT waste your money on any of it. If you openthose boxes they have A single capacitor encased in a block of epoxy so epople dont figure it out. You will do better to wipe your ass with the cash than to buy those.
