Should I get a Voltage Stabaliser?

[XlimShady]

I have did some reasearch about this online with 2 conclusions. (talking about good ori VS)

1. VS only works on old cars.

2.For new cars it MAY improve your car's electrical power supply. eg, headlights brighter, air cond etc.


I'm driving a new NeoCps. The thing is i got 2 amps and a 12'' subwoofer.
Can my stock battery tahan all these???

Should i really get a VS or just change to a better battery when this stock one dies coz a good VS isn't cheap. :hmmmm:

Good VS is not cheap but definitely u able to feel the diff. in term of torque. u will hve smoother drive.

I agree with Stanley.
But if for audio system,u should install a capacitor.....that works same as VS.

I have read that it improves torques, but any idea what's the science behind it??? So far i couldn't find explanation on wht a VS can improve torque.:stupid:

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

yup....grab an audio capacitor....



in fact..VS was built from a few small capacitors....can even DIY with cheap costs....

 

[tofu_manic]

i bought my VS solely for a peace of mind hehe

wasnt looking for big differences, just that it is one of those things i feel is good to have, but not essential

bro, the engine needs stable electric for spark and running. If you car used up lot of electric like air-con, radio, lamp and so on.. sure the am of the electric dropping and its will affect your electric stability. Thus, affect your car sparking and performance.

To have better voltage stabilize, you can look for hot inazma products or pivot VS..

don't simply buy fake/imitation/cheapo VS.. those that do not have proper QC might start a fire in your car.

 

[XlimShady]

Thanks! Now it makes sense. I better get a VS then. How much will pivot / raizin cost? Is it within rm500?

Pivot Raizin blue is only ~RM160 for original. Please do not simply buy from random shops.. N1 Racing definitely sells original.. other outlets I don't know. Desmond too arrogant to sell imitation, I guess its a good thing :) Got little birdy tell me Kakimotor sells fake.. but I have no proof of this.

I bought my Pivot (Blue) with grounding kit RM250 from N1, Sunway.

That was way back in 2007 la...

Agreed.. do not simply buy as lot of fake outside.

 

[amrancharger]

cant remember when but last time...long years ago...kakimotor do have the fake pivot for customers to differentiate between pivot ori and imitation.
if they did sell the fake one...i tink it would be because the buyer choose to buy it...
coz dun tink i saw the fake pivot being displayed at kakimotor anymore...most probably buyer insist to buy it...

a couple of years ago...those fake ones will be sold ard rm130...just 30bucks cheaper...to con consumer as they claim they want to finish old stock.

I bought mine from another forum, DIY voltage stabilizer, it is something that is being overrated in terms of making improve performance, but to those who installed, its a peace of mind thingy and also die die oso can feel some difference, eventho the difference is negligible...but hey u feel good about it - why not!!?

once upon a time, I think like you. to be fair, it depends on the vehicle. I've seen before and after dyno in person, and for some cars there are actual benefits recorded on dyno.

If the vehicle has very good grounding and electrical system, then yes you probably won't see benefits.. but for mass produced sub-standard cheap car like Proton and Perodua.. there's a definite improvement.

Agree with Nagamotorsport.If new car..sure wont be much diff coz of good grounding and power distribution.But for old car sure can feel the diff.When you turn ur bass to the max,u can see ur electrical system effected proportionally to ur bass sound.Audio capacitor has much bigger capacity than VS hence its better but VS also could be benefit.Im using PIVOT MEGA RAIZIN for my AE92 and i can feel a smoother ride.

NICE! I'm staying arouund Sunway. THanks for the info. Btw, is it including installation??? :hmmmm:

You just created a dilemme for me. VS or Capacitor. LOL~ :hmmmm::stupid:

Depends on ur budget......capacitor a bit expensive and big in size than VS.Since ur car have 2 amps...i recommend u for capacitor.

Here is some info if u plan to buy PIVOT products which is reliable:
Mega RAIZIN "VS-M" | PIVOT
"RAIZIN" | PIVOT
"Notice of Fake RAIZIN" | PIVOT

i wonder how much microfarad does the Pivot Raizin actually have ?

I checked out the pivot raizin blue before and i have less than 20k microfarad.

if u go forum.lowyat.net and check out automotive garage . you will see a few selling DIY VS with a range of caps from small to big caps with microfarads up to 190k .

DIY VS are actually really good..cause im using one of them ZAPTOR evolve with 30k microfarad...Erictioh makes one vs that have about 90k and Evolve fusion is about 190k microfarad.

most of these are originally made with a 1 1/2 year warranty for one to one exchange.

u should check them out and yes the higher the microfarad , the better the difference u can see.

they will also let u see the designs as well as the insides ...as the capacitor are military grade ...not like pivot raizins which consisted of 6 caps of questionable quality

Wow, mind posting the link here? But how much do they cost? Is it cheaper or more expensive?
