okay so im cruizin on ebay, and ran across several "voltage stabilizers" anyone know if they work? they say they help fuel economy, help throttle response, lower engine noise, etc.

if you need a link i can post one...

is this just another gimmick or is this for real???

 

gimic, i searched awhile back on here and google, and both were pointing out, its better to just have 'hyperground cables' if you really want to do anything.

 

what all does the hyperground cables do? do you have them yourself???
and btw thanks for the quick response

 

from what i've used the search feature for, as i recommend you do

A search of the forum's brought up useful links

that is your answer, you must step through the door.

 

well thanks... and sorry for the no search... youd think id know better by now... btw check my thread on the ra show and shine on the thumbs up or down...

 

Get a grounding kit like this one...

 

You already have a voltage stabilizer, it a properly working alternator and voltage regulator.

 

All of this is a waste of money. Voltage stabilizers and grounding kits are for people that go "ooh, it's a cheap mod for my car!" Unless your car is poorly grounded (doubtful, since the oldest USDM Lancers are 2002), you probably don't need it.

(and yes, I got grounding kits for my last two cars. So I know rice. )

 

I am usually a skeptic be I am going to have to say the grounding kit is fairly legit, as long as you make it yourself for for less than $15.

 

I think it depends on what your after. I have a grounding kit and all I noticed is the headlights don't dim while braking, and that's it. Until someone can show how such a subtle change to the electrical system can produce actual power, I'll remain a skeptic.

 

what he said ^

 

As I said, I bought them for my last two cars. Never noticed ANYTHING. So I'll remain a skeptic.

Import Tuner has claimed HP gains on the dyno, but since you can't get the same dyno numbers from a car twice, it's hard to accept.

 

I heard the voltage stabilizer works...
a friend of mine had it so I borrowed it and tried it on my car...
felt a difference in throttle responce... and for some odd reason it made the car sound different 2...
but for the price... no i don't think its worth it...
it works even better in conjunction with the hyper ground kit

 

My brother paid $185 for an Apexi stabilizer and grounding kit... Biggest waste of $$$ ever!

 

I don't know how many times I have said the same thing and been given the standard "but it's Import Tuner, why would they lie?".
