Voltage Stabilizers and grounding kits
 
Hi, just wondering if anyone has tried or installed a voltage stabilizer on their RX-8 (or any other car). Found this thing on ebay Voltage stabilizer .
The concept of this device seems good, but sometimes real world applications don't work the same. Which is why I'm asking.

Also, I've installed home made grounding kits on my previous car, and cars of friends and they all have given noticable increases in performance. The best HP to $$$ ratio that I have seen/felt. I plan to make one for my RX-8 too, but just haven't had the time lately. If anyone has done this already, can you give me any tips on the best place to add the new ground wires, and where the OEM ones are so I can replace them with better wires. Has there been any performance increases?

Thanks,
Brian

ground wires won't do much at all for the RX-8 definitely no HP increase...maybe a smoother idle...and minor cleanup of the startup...but ground wires are something that improve a Neon but not a Japanese sports car :p

as for a voltage stabilizer...you must understand that the RX-8's electronics and PCM/ECU are one of if not the most advanced in the automotive industry...only aftermarket/custom systems out tech it...this is due to the Renesis

so save you money

you want power...remove weight from the car...lose a couple pounds on your beer belly...and save up money for a ECU add-on and/or a FI'ed application :D
