Myth of Voltage stabilizer

[vr2turbo]

So far only installed Grounding cables, VS and Alternator booster. Custom Made by a friend with engineer background. Sold to me at reasonable price. A price that is close to 1 Purple Pivot Raizin for all of the above.

Feedback? Car is definitely more responsive. When gear changes, is not that obviously felt like before. Most important, the car is smoother and responds is better. Seriously. Air cond, at 1st didnt believe it, but is much colder than before. Headlights brighter, that goes without saying.

Mine is manual so nothing to do with gear shifts, but my audio did sound better. Others not much changes...

Got brighter headlights? Somehow realised mine very bright lol

I would say more stable lighting, less flickering. Brighter......hmmmm......:hmmmm:

Air cond got any improvement? Mine got colder than before.

 

[vr2turbo]

Nope. What does it do to the air con anyway to get it colder?:hmmmm:

normally some car's alternator just barely cope with the current load of ac compressor+condensor fan and as well as evaporator fan (a.k.a blower) and always the blower not rotating at full speed in idle (traffic jam especially in night driving with headlights on and wiper on) untill the driver press throttle/rev/moving foward above 1000rpm then only the alternator producing enough juice to power all the electrical part and the blower able to work at full speed (depend on blower speed level)...


with the VS atleast the voltage drop reduced..hence the blower got work at full capacity at most time..... atleast that was the only thing i can related in term of ac cooler after installation of a VS

Oh my.. im using the raizin :(

 

[Darth Evillus]

anyone here using Hot Inazma VS with 7 point grounding cable kit?
Whats the feedback like

expensive

expensive

well I am looking at fuel saving kits for my 4 year old myvi icon 1.5SE, currently its doing 13km per litre on 60 city 40 highway

And one of my trusted workshop suggested these, with tm works direct power harness, and supercircuit extractor

(+ I prefer not to turn my car into road bully with loud exhaust) haha.

I don't quite agree with the VS. I have not felt any difference with Inazma during the days I tested it. I've only ever had 2 types of VS that had some sort of effect. One was a DIY-ed one that used quite a lot of expensive parts (cost was RM130) and experimented by a electronics guy. It had some sort of affect on the pickup of the car which was interesting. Didn't improve anything else. The other VS was quite an old one that is no longer in production - it made the battery last 4 years and seemed to smooth out electronics (the lights dimmed less whenever the aircon compressor kicked in).

You want to improve FC the TM Works thing is going to smoothen out your plug coils and perhaps give a bit of extra torque. But the caveat is if your car is old - then it'll work great to make it "new again". A new car won't feel any difference. If you however increase the voltage output using stuff like the IgniteVSD and Alpha16V it'll probably help a bit with the spark side of things and improve combustion hence improving FC? I dunno. I wanna test this but it's not exactly cheap.

Then the extractor - yes and no. Depends. I dunno.

Aiya..if you want to improve FC there's loads you can do. Keep your car engine and everything in tip-top condition, use good oil, use good petrol, improve your spark everything, let engine breathe better (free flowing drop-in air filter, don't use open pod), lightweight rims and low-resistance tyres, plexiglass windows and stripped interior, stop using air-con and lighten the car, etc etc. It'll probably cost you more to save petrol than just driving with a brick behind your pedal.

Incidentally that last one is real - driving with the air-con off makes a huge difference. I have a 1st gen Myvi with a busted aircon compressor so I drive without aircon. Just open window and drive - and drive conservatively. I got 16.7km/L recently.

bolded part done.
ron 95 enough la. no much diff also i tested

I said "good petrol", I didn't ask you to go up in octane. Some say when they use Shell petrol it's super sluggish, some say Petron good, etc etc. Shop around and see what brand works best for you.

Also, how lightweight are your rims? I've only seen 2 really lightweight rims that are available in 15" size that I've seen people use. Advanti Storm S1 (4.8kg per rim) and the Enkei RPF1 rims. Is yours this light? Makes a huge difference in handling of the car and FC.

I am only using BHP or Caltex (bec of their singapore refineries and euro 3 standard - altho not sure now whether they still keep that as their website no longer said so haha)
BHP gives best mileage (with Shell but shell is sluggish on my another car latio sedan)
Caltex gives the smoothest pickup (by feeling only la)
I do run ron 97 if I know not much jam weekdays on PLUS - could get 15 km per litre on 140kph consistent

I am using inforged rims, its about 6ish kg. the Advanti DST rims are about 5kg, I only add about 4 kg?! extra. Is that alot?

You'd be surprised how much of a difference the weight difference is.

 

[Darth Evillus]

Thats very interesting. Considering I always pump full tank. Then to optimise the condition dont pump full tank, i.e full tank for this car is about 31 L (excluding the reserves), I pump 27L to compensate logic anot

very surprised actually when i jump from 7kg rpo1 chicken brand to used ori ssr 3.95kg iinm. I din count how much petrol.
but overall feel lighter. Ahhhh i need to cut my weight too...wakakaka

You reduce rim weight then add on own weight, no difference......hhahahhaha

Actually.... that does make sense. LOL... but you're better off removing unnecessary weight from the car to lighten it. Will definitely help.

I didn't know SSR was so light! That's even lighter than the Enkei RPF1
