Myth of Voltage stabilizer

[Izso]

maybe you can hook your friend up to make my myvi speedo to light up like what he did to his car. it's kinda cool though. haha

He doesn't want to do it for anyone else because his is uniqe. LOL! People have offered him money and he's refused so too bad bro. Hehe

SF, to improve your BLM and throttle lag. Come I DIY to let you test...use welding cable as grounding....I'm using it 300amps one....cable from Thailand good stuff....a lot of BLM and FLX owner using it....not invented by me but can DIY no problem.....I also can DIY the grounding for each COP on your CamPro.....

That's sounds interesting. Can only visit you on weekends then. Then can learn more from u

I will wait for you but don't know until when I'm gonna wait.....1 year or 2 years?

U r not staying overseas, no need that long time la adui.

I am a believer of voltage stabliser. I am not an electrical engineer though, only have simply knowledge.

However, I do understand that having clean power is important to car. This is because all our sensors etc all depends on power need to acquire accurate voltage readings and send it to ECU. If power supply is bad, I don't think sensors will work well.
t
But not all VS work. A properly designed VS needs to be able to cancel out the minor and major voltage fluctuations generated. Most VS in the market only slab on a couple of big capacitors and they can only filter our major voltage changes but not able to react to small ones.

I'm very interested in the groundings! The throttle thing can be used in Persona DBW too right

stupidcarm yes....

SF, set the time and date....let me know so I can prepare stuff...

Personally i don't think by just using a VS it can give you a noticeable increase of performance in every aspect of your car.

A VS may give you a brighter headlamp..cooler air cond..but.. with every other stock parts in the car, that's just it.

A VS couple with performance plug cable and iridium plug may give you a better results in engine performance increment..

Well.. a VS is not a performance part like your custom extractor..piping..cam...injector etc

Guys, I am not sure if the information I get from this friend is accurate.
As he is a quite experienced mechanic too, he told me that standard new cars normally do not need much of Voltage Stabilizer.
However, he explained to me that through his decades of experience that grounding cables is actually much more essential.
I wished I could get more information from him and cross reference with you guys.

I've used a Pivot VS before and I honestly do not see much difference except for the brighter headlamps.
Prolly because I had very minimum ICE in my car as the speakers sounded just as good as they were before installing the VS.
But hell it does make the engine bay looks a lil bit more interesting !

Grounding does a better job. Many sifus here said that before.

Grounding is only useful for cars that have corroded or worn out stock grounding la. You try it with a brand spanking new car and you'll have absolutely no gains whatsoever. Do it on a old beatup 9 year old car and woah momma, dem headlamps are brighter than the goddam sun!

If you ask me, I think the most useless VS you can get is the Pivot one. Original or not, it does nothing for me except extend battery life.

So what's the best VS to use that we can get the most benefits out of it?

i bought ori pivot blue from kakimotor, after 2 yrs kong edi. but left it in the engine bay did not remove it.
for grounding cables yes i agree its important, my wife's atos had battery & starter problem when we 1st bought it, changed new batt, new starter still problem. then bought rm15 HKS ground cables & solved the problem.

I bought one from andysky as well HKS Earth ground cables, not sure if it was this that help my car start back when it almost stalled one day during traffic jam after the toll at kerinchi link.

Car black out awhile all lights off, then it start back so thought it was okay but started to worried.
As expected, the car after awhile totally shutdown. Tried to crank a few times, no sound of cranking as well...but then left the key there and got down open the bonnet to check...

Weird thing is that when I open up the bonnet, I saw my engine running...I felt weird and went back to the driver seat to check on the speedometer, everything was lighted up again...

But i didnt even hear a sound of the engine started...:hmmmm2:

Felt weird but didnt bother, continue driving. But noticed 2 of my headlamps no longer working.
So drive only with fog light on. lucky there are fog lamps. If not really driving without lights.

Bulbs fused when got it check. Well that's the weirdest thing that happened to me.

Your car got ghost la.

 

[DanzEterna]

hamsup ghost.

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Your car got ghost la.

That's the only possibility I can think of...since car totally shut down then restart again...

hamsup ghost.

Hamsup ghost would have been touching me adi but just shut down my car only...

Unless just want to see me bend over when checking my car that's all

 

[TitanRev]

the ghost touch you also cannot feel la....

 

[stupidcar]

My car ac compressor kick in headlamp will dim, dash light dim....
Apa lagi Persona mau?

 

[TitanRev]

stupidcar and SF, come we RnD and solve the problem
