The concept of the voltage stabilizer sounds great but does it really work?Please post opinions.

Thanks

I got it for my 2000 Civic Si. I noticed that with my AEM pulleys at night time with my headlights & stereo going my headlights would dim at stop lights. My voltmeter would drop to 11 volts.

After putting in the Sun Auto Hyper Voltage System now my headlights don't dim (and are actually brighter) and my voltage stays at 12-13 volts. So it does work.

It's a waste of money. I would not believe any HP gain that they suppose you would get. If your car is grounded properly, there should be no problems. There was a post here a few months back and it really is a waste of money.

That's the one I have.

As far as hp goes - nothing. But it does smooth out the electrical noise and just the current in general.

He wasn't talking about the grounding kit. He was talking about the voltage kit.

BTW as I said in the other thread.... a "voltage kit" = one .5F audio capacitor with some 8G wire.
If you want to go a little better yet, pick up a used 1F cap on ebay and some 4G wire. It will still cost you a lot less than the "kit" and it will work better.
