Installed Voltage stabilizer...

So I ordered the ebay special Voltage stabilizer and ground kit.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=

So far I have installed the VS, and 2 of the ground wires. I still have engine noise, but it is not quite as loud. The car does seem to start a little faster and the starter sounds stronger. Also the throttle response seems a little better.

Here is the first pic, you can not even see anything, which is what I am going for.



In this pic the battery cover is removed. I installed the VS to the back side or the cover with the arrow, it is still not very visible except the wires.

Any chance you could pop the cover off the VS, take a picture or two and post them??

I actually drilled some holes and mounted it to the inside of that cover. Here are a few pics.

That's a nice install man. I didn't really notice any huge noticeable difference when I installed mine

Thanks, I am just hopeing that once I get my whole ground kit installed it helps with the engine noise. If not I am not sure what I am going to do, it is driving me crazy.

It is supposed to help have a smoother idle, better throttle response and help stabilizer your electrical system. It is best paired with a grounding kit.


I have my ground kit half installed along with this, and I have noticed that the starter sounds a little stronger when starting the car and the throttle response seems a little better.



Some claim this kit can even gain HP, torque and gas mileage. I am not so sure about that. But for $45, it is a very cheap mod.


The ground kit will help a bit more if you have a large sound system.
