Wa. Geng. but how come you are using 8 capacitors at total? Couldn't find the right capacitors?
How did you know it works by testing it with multimeter? Mind to tell me?
Im interested too. hehe
ooo.. after u disconet it from batery, and u check using multimeter if there still have power produce. so capasitor have charged. so i assume it working..
Oh. But if there is a LED attached to it, it will comsume power from the capasitors right? haha
So, the result. What changes you experienced after putting on the handmade voltage stabilizer... haha. And mind to tell me which car you attach to it?
i'm attached it in my 4G91.. but feel nothing different. only when u put your feet on your pedal... more respon.. but not to sure.. afraid if its only my feeling.. hehe..
i think want to try on my frenz car.... or try to put cap like what aerrike does
hi... nothing much here... zth DIY thread is getting slower compared to last time... n recent DIYs are getting less "interesting"
duno where all de old DIY kakis gone....
yeah u r rite, so long nvr cum in n the thread kept lagging, mayb server too many ad n blar blar blar
i tink everybody jus bcum lazy n lazier ,mayb need to take care little kids.. who knows :_:hehehee, anyway guan ,keep up the DIY spirit, if i were in KL, i may wish to learn more from u, so many to do yet no time.. ur photogallery r great, let my spirit support u :_:
by d way, i will b frequent at the VI forum,hope u hop in sometime, lots of thing to learn from u , cheers
Have anyone here tried by just buying a 12V power supply unregulated from pasar road for only <RM100 and put in some series of caps and call it stabilized so in order not to spend >RM300 unit for a regulated/stabilize unit.
Anyway a car battery is DC, there's nothing much to stabilize here.
OK say we want to stabilize the voltage when the alternator kicks in and varying voltage with the engine revs, is it by just adding caps??? i would say no we can't by that.
Adding more caps works for capacitor bank or harmonics filter with variation of caps value.
VS is something in the grey area...what we really need is regulated supply which fix it on a usable voltage so that ECU and sensor would get the accurate signal.
Again....most modern car ECU already got build in regulator to do away with the variation of voltage generated.
So what are looking at here???
Well, hv u tried?
If nt, pls do so.... If u did but doesnt work for u then good for you, ur car need no such product.
I will have to agree with your arguments.... but it work for me and some other fellow forummer here which is good news... for us.
May I correct your thinking on this VS concept? Its more on the current(ampre) thingy than the voltage..... Current drop, voltage drop....
Think of it like a small water storage tank which additional water can be pull into usage when needed, without it, water still flows but may not be fast enuff... to fulfill the surge in demand.
R u electronic or electrical engg trained personel? If so, Hv u built ur own power supply b4? 240->12v or so? If so, u will notice there will be caps, resistor, rectifier, transformer, etc... Recifier in the circuits are the voltage regulator and Whats the use of the bigger capacitor in those circuit? Do you happen to know? If so, have u play around with the values of caps? If you did, what do you notice in the CRO of the output? etc......
Another thing to note, most of the pple here dont own big luxury cars which cost is not a problem. In order to save cost, Mfr dont overdesign the electrical system. They design it to fulfill the min needed + a little margin.
So our little cheap cheap solutions work a little wonder to some of us here lor..... Happy ending........
I tried 3 types. And no effect to my car performance (pickup etc) at first i kinda FELT it.. but i did tried puting it on, and off for a few weeks... and i realized it is purely psychological.. first type is more of a capacitance bank. it does give one improve to the bass of my ICE.
as i said before, u can filter out most of noise from a few parallel capacitors of different values... but the fact is.. u can only do so little. there are MANY noise (high frequencies), that comes from sparking of plugs.. and it happens variably depend on your RPM. and a good way to do it, is if u can see the noises in a Oscilloscope and then work ur way from there. thus, in conclusion, even same brand and model of car, will still be having different kind of noises. it has to be custom built for each car.
if u car ECU design is sucks, then u probably need it. but most modern car ECU designs already cater for these noises by using filters and whatnot. so really, there is no point to install a VS in ur car, unless, u want a LED light in there to spice up ur engine bay.
nuff said.
ps. btw, its fun to DIY these.. just go ahead and have fun.. DIY is for fun anyways.. hehe.. and hopefully u will learn something new about ur car.
As for some info to the rest here...i don't spend time building gimmicky stuff...
such as spiral fan power flow, neo magnet to magnetize the fuel and stuff like that especially design from korea and taiwan.
This people make tons of money from gadget like this which is cool for display only and work's for the ego of stubborn people.
Check with speedworks dyno before and after.
My work is for my old classic mini,is now equipped with DIY electronic ignition and Air fuel ratio display with lean out alarm. Although it's not for gaining performance so are all of the rest of the project here.
I could put in some picture or video but i wont share due to some old bad experience.
When i get time i'll look at belt driven turbine blower with variable gearing to compensate the lag from snail blower. Gearing design from the 2speed RC car clutch system and the rest kancil turbine. This is my dream performance project.

Happy DIY.....
i would love to do that too!!!:_: but no tools and not enof moneyto R&D...hahaha
not all are gimmicks, the spark enhancer thing does make a difference.
