I just purchased a hyper voltage stablizer, I was wondering if anyone of you guys have installed this on you TSXs and if so, where did you connect the two connections to? I want to get this right before I attempt at installing it. Any help is a help.

Total snake-oil. Sorry bud. I installed the BuddyClub kit for a week or so last summer and took it off to sell it and recoup most of my loss. It didn't do anything...

To try and be helpful from memory: I connected the ground wires to various points within the engine bay. A bolt on the alternator, a bolt on the engine block, and I think a bolt on the throttle-body.

 

there's a few extensive threads on grounding and voltage stabilizers. i still don't know what to believe about them. either people think they're snake oil, or people claim they help stuff like throttle response and gas mileage.

grounding kits thread

ground distribution thread

 

They're probably more useful for 5AT owners than 6MT, now that I think about it, in terms of throttle response.

 

These kind of things make a much bigger difference in older cars with lower voltage ignition systems and poor grounding from the factory. Modern cars with their extremely high voltage ignition systems are well grounded from the factory simply because they wouldn't work right if they weren't.

You won't see any change.

 

yeah, i've read some AT owners who've said they can feel a difference, which is why i had considered getting one at one point, but decided not just hold off since i'm getting the p2r spacer and installing the UR pulleys.

 

Just connect the 2 wires to pos and neg posts of the battery.

 

i have the grounding kit, you can slightly feel a slightly better response if you pay real close attention

 

well thanks for the help guys, I'll install it later today and I'll let you know if I feel any difference, I have 5AT so well see if its myth or not

 

if you can, try to maybe dyno it. i think everyone always wants some concrete evidence, but i've never seen somone dyno their car before/after installing a voltage stabilizer/grounding kit.

 

problem is, who has a dyno available to do it?

 

and sorry fellas due to the snow storm that hit us her in the north last night I still haven't come to installing it yet.
