Power Voltage Stabilizer

[honda83]

The Power Voltage Stabilizer regulates the voltage of the car's electrical system, providing constant voltage at all times. Normally the electrical system's voltage will fluctuate under acceleration resulting in power loss and rough power delivery. The Power Voltage Stabilizer eliminates this voltage fluctuation, providing a constant voltage, thereby smoothing power delivery and optimizing power. Low rpm performance is improved noticeably, with improved response, acceleration, and smoothness. Fuel economy is also improved, especially for city driving conditions.

so i guess this is what its suppose to do. but has anyone ever have one of these in your car before or heard of it? is this good ,bad anything?

Believe it or not, they do work. It seems a little do hokey, but it is true.

The reasoning is pretty simple. As a car ages, the continuity of the ground wires changes due to corrosion etc. This slightly alters the signal that the ECU receives resulting in a small error. Over time this error becomes worth maybe a few HP and an MPG or 2.

I don't know if these electronic ones work better than replacing your main ground wires with nice high quality larger diameter cabling though.

I agree, they do work.
Dont expect like 50hp gain...that's type-r stickers

But those voltage stabilizers will aid in the little things you wont notice...higher stereo volume, better radio reception...less fuzz, brighter headlights...

My friends have the Sun America Hyper voltage system, MR which is the all around power i believe. Very good investment.

Buy it with some ebay ground wires and you're good to go.

im glad you brought this thread up!!!..i plan on getting them soon..

right now i have..

MSD 6a
MSD blaster coil
MSD spark plug wires
an ebay ground kit

but im looking to get that sun voltage regulator..they are expensive tho ... but i think they are worth it.

i found it here for 106 bucks..i dont know if it includes shipping.. http://store.racinglab.com/hypervhr-124.html

im not sure if these are real or fake tho.

It is one of those thing you would probably look at if you are maximizing your total gain and squeezing that last bit out of it.

Depending how you do it though, it can be fairly low on the bang for the buck scale.

ok so i kinda dont get this. the ground wire goes to the body of the car and the postive goes to the battery. but were would the postive wire from the car go to ? and also were would this thing go? under the hood somewere or in the car?

[honda83]

also i was wondering. wouldnt something like this put a little more strain on the alternator? since it needs something to power it up or whatever...

and also.. might be off subject or this might be the right thing but isnt there something that can stop all the power or electricisly thru out the car?

Ground wiring on a car is very confusing for most people, so I will try to be basic and hopefully won't offend you, because that isn't my intention.

The ground cables basically run to the chassis of a car for a very simple reason. To save wire.

Ultimately, in the electric circuit you need two poles. Plus and minus, or positive and negative.

Electrons flow from the positive battery terminal through a path or circuit to the negative terminal in an attempt to equalize the charge at both terminals (the desire to flow is known as electrical potential). If we put things like light bulbs in between these two points, then when electrical current flows from positive to negative, we can do work i.e., light up our bulb.

We can get a complete path in two ways.

1) We can run the wiring for every electrical circuit all the way from the positive terminal, through the circuit we are powering, and then back to the negative terminal

or

2) we can use the fact that all metal conducts electricity, and instead of running tons and tons of wire through the car to the battery, we can put all of our negative wires on the frame near the circuit ("grounding" them) and then put a short wire from the frame to the battery, saving all of the wire by using the chassis of the car.

Since real cars are set up for the second method, our ground wires become very important, because they carry all of the current flow for every circuit on the car. When the wires corrode and degrade, it affects the operation of our circuit because they conduct electricity less efficiently, thus causing more resistance and altering slightly the amount of total electricity flowing through the circuit.

That is why it affects the performance of our car slightly, because when the engineers set the car up, they have to make certain assumptions for things like electrical resistance (in an ECU circuit for instance).

Obviously, they choose an assumption based on a new car, and then try to give it a certain range to try to compensate for age.

As the car ages, and the current in a circuit changes slightly, the ECU will think that something else is happening (based on the pre-programmed assumptions), because it is seeing a number that is a little different than what it should be seeing. It makes an adjustment based on the value that it sees, when what is really happening is the deteriorated condition of the wires is causing a slight error, in what it SHOULD be seeing.

By putting newer more efficient grounding wires on the car, we reduce the amount of error, causing everything to run more efficiently. It also allows more current flow through circuits like headlights, etc, causing better system performance and light output, with no additional energy usage.

ok so i kinda dont get this. the ground wire goes to the body of the car and the postive goes to the battery. but were would the postive wire from the car go to ? and also were would this thing go? under the hood somewere or in the car?

The positive wire ultimately runs to two places. One is into the circuits in your car through the fuse boxes, and then another cable comes from the alternator. The alternator charges the battery, and the battery supplies current to the circuits.

also i was wondering. wouldnt something like this put a little more strain on the alternator? since it needs something to power it up or whatever...

An actual powered grounding equalizer such as the one made by Sun , or Apexi's version do require a slight amount of power, although it is nothing like a stereo system. It is probably more like a small or medium sized lightbulb, if that much.

The cool thing is, that they equalize the voltage, using a little bit of electricity, but they benefit more with increased light output, better mileage etc.

You can also just get some really high quality stereo wire and replace all of the factory ground wires (engine to battery, valve cover to alternator bracket, etc etc) with larger gauge wire, and will see the same effect, with no additional energy usage.

Personally, I have never seen a dyno pull or any kind of scientific measurement with just the upgraded wires vs. the ground stabilizer on the same car, so I don't know if one would work better than the other, but they are both proven to work.

Hi,

I am wondering which brand would be good and do they build it custom for makes and models?

I did some searches and realized that some are generic and need modification to mount.
