Hey guys, saw this on ebay and wondering if it really increases hp, increases gas mileage, increase headlight brightness, and increases stereo output.

Hahahahahaha, what a waste of money

 

Why waste our bandwith...

 

they do have some merit:

You mean this guy?

"i stumbled across this post as a result of searching for diagrams for a 12v - 12v stabalizer / regulator since noticing the engine performance of my car was far better the lower the voltage was, to a point, it seemed the engine was more responsive thru the whole range by simply having the heater fan on full. "odd" i here you say, and even " it must be pulling an earth through the fan or something". but no, ive isolated it to the input voltage to the engine management control unit. having then subsequently looked at the voltage range in the system it appears to be somewhat higher than id like as high as 15v at times. now i here you saying "your voltage regulator is no good" ( resisted using an expletive there ) but no, well not entirely, it appears alot of aftermarket/ pattern regulators are tending to put out a higher voltage. so it appears there are two cures to the problem. solder new brushes into the old regulator or stabalise the voltage on the management circuit more precisely. im tending to go for both cures. even with the oem regulator you will have a voltage swing and therefore a swing in calcultions the ecu is making.since the ecu will have internal voltage regulation how will this help i hear you say. well the fact of tha matter is its only regulating as a percentage of its expected input voltage, since in my case, and probably a lot of other peoples, the expected input voltage has changed the need for stabilization excists. hope this goes someway to helping understand the idea of voltage stabilization problem"

He thinks that by turning the heater on high it's stabilizing or even lowering the system voltage with the small current draw from the fan. He also thinks the ECU runs better on lower voltage which is a joke within itself. What he did was turn the heater on full blast which lowered the coolant temps and make the car more responsive.

 

I have read on the forum, someone had this and was saying highly of it....lemme search and see who he was....

so IHC, this voltage stabilizer is just adding weight to your car ?
