*edit: for that price you usually get a grounding kit

That reminds me, I also found this on ebay:

Does it work?
I know by now the logic you guys will use... no it doesn't work... If it did all of us would have one. I smell rice
But has anyone tried it? For seven bucks I figure it couldn't hurt. But still, I want to know if anyone has had experience with it.

Since it sees cold air, it would make you run richer and reduce performance, correct?

ViperDude152 02-03-06 01:39 PM

correct in the already richer spots in the RPM range. It may give you more power in thos spots that are lean. But how often is that? Not very.

Lol.... voltage stabilizer. Capacitor more like it

The car already has a voltage regulator that keeps your voltage below 14.

Its probably just a capacitor that might even out voltage say if you have a stereo with large amplifier and voltage only drops during heavy bass. If voltage goes down for more than a short period it will decharge and be useless.

If you want a capacitor just go to some stereo shop, they'll sell you the same thing for cheaper.

I wonder where they get the statement "Less engine noise" like hmmm that makes sense, it must inject more lubrication thru the spark plugs or something... yeah.

do you have to ask? i mean really... besides, the seller doesn't even know how to construct a coherent sentence.

wtf is a 1990 II2 anyways (your sig)?

RotaryEvolution 02-03-06 04:43 PM

if you see "JDM" lited then just about everything after that point on ebay is bogus.

Ah yes, the under-publicized RX-7 "Tutu"

It wears a pink skirt, and rides on ballet slippers.

Make your own ground wires, I got one from the pos bat- pos alt and pos starter, and 4 negs and there is a noticable difference, i'm getting about 13.8ish volts with the high beams on and my radio, ~14 with no accessories on. Before I did this, it was bad, very bad, lol.

Thanks! That's what I was looking for... further evidence convince myself not to buy it! That's probably one of the biggest scams I've heard of! But I bet every ricer carries one as a badge of honor.
Also, special thanks to Andrew who made the last comment. Good advice!

Yeah, I plan on doing that while my car is out. I was seeing maybe 12.5 and I have very few powered accesories.
