Description:

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.

Improve Headlights Performance
Improve Spark Plugs / Ignition Performance
Improve Engine Response
Improve Fuel Economy

i had one of those back when i was NA..to tell you the truth they really dont do anything..

The only time I've seen those make any difference is when they're just acting as a band-aid for some worn out component (ie: bad ground lines, worn out alt which is producing a fluctuating output).

Yeah, it is useful. That is why the alternator has a built in regulator, and the battery is the size it is. The battery is a stabilizer.

It is very pretty and will look pretty in your engine bay. Otherwise, it's a sham. It's hard to tell what's in it, but it looks like 5 capacitors. Whoo-de-doo.

Just get a grounding kit and replace all your old, corroded grounds across the engine. You may or may not see a difference but at least your electrical system will finially be grounded correctly.

Make sure you clean off the contact points also where you an connect also. a nice big brand new groud wire is pointless unless you have a good clean paint free place to anchor it!

SCC did a test on the grounding kits (not the stabilizer) and did see +5hp here and there but I'm willing to chalk that up to conditions and just simple variance.

I agree on getting a grounding kit also. Sand down the area that you are going to place you ground on (firewall for example). after bolting down the ground you may want to paint it to reduce chances of rust.

meh iunno about manipulation. they did several runs and the highest gain was +5hp. there were +1-5 hp gains on all them but still thats not a big enough gain for me to use it as a performance mod. i would do it more for better grounds to replace my old ones, maintaince over power!
