voltage stabilizer????

[g35sedanlover]

Do voltage stabilizers do much of anything or are they similar to the tornado intake things that are just a gimmick? I have seem some JDM ones on e-bay for like $25 shipped...

[g35sedanlover]

anyone run these?

There is a current magazine out that did dyno runs on a g37. I believe they added intake, catback, hiflow cat, and the apexi voltage stabilizer (~$125). The total increase was 25-30whp. The increases overall were minimal for the voltage stabalizer (1-3whp depending on the rpm range), while a high flow cat gave the G a 14whp increase alone! I wouldn't trust the ebay brand because the wiring is probably weak. It's like using stereo/speaker wire in your engine bay for grounds.

Voltage stabilizer...you mean grounding wires?? Got a link?

Joe, I think he is referring to this one

I've seen the same one advertised someplace else for about $130

you can get the voltage regulator seperate. it makes sure you have the right voltage to the spark plugs and supposed to make grounding better.

I'm a little skeptical about this, prolly cuz nobody has tried it yet.

Cool, thanks! I don't think it would be worth it unless you have an aftermarket ECU...

i think it might only make enough difference if you are running FI. Other than that any advantage.

Grounding wires alone do all the above, just no monitoring system.
