[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 256862, member: 4527"] Voltage stabilizer (VS) is a box of capacitors connected together in parallel and all its open circuit. Faulty capacitor will burst or melt and may close circuit or better known as short circuit. All my VS has individual fuse to protect such situation from causing a fire hazard. My VS uses 25v 105 degree capacitors, so not much chance to exceed if used in our cars.. ;) As I have mentioned, a fuse is a must! This is cppeng's type: [IMG]http://www.sun-auto.co.jp/images/pro02/hot_inazma/hyper/m01.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.sun-auto.co.jp/images/pro02/hot_inazma/hyper/system.jpg[/IMG] So its +ve, -ve and engine body, nearest to spark plug housing to benefit the spark plugs as much as possible. Meaning the 3rd cable is like a direct grounding cable to the spark plug' grounding from the "collection of capacitors" or VS. For a Japanese car, it takes few days for the ECU to "learn" the extra electrical charge now available in the "system". Look out for few improvements in the car: 1. Headlights brighter, more obvious on halogen lights.. 2. Car less jerk when aircond compressor cuts in.. 3. Engine response better, lighter rev.. 4. Aircond cooler.. 5. ICE sounds better.. 6. Gearbox upshifts at lower RPM due to slight improvement of torque (spark plugs better sparks).. 7. FC improves eventually but you must keep ur cool with the now more responsive car, or else FC suffers.. 8. Battery last longer, easily more than 3 years for JDMs. For JDMs above 1.6L, u need to install 2 VS (parallel) for a more obvious improvement, that's why I have friends installing 4, until run out of space.. :D [/QUOTE]
