there was a thread not too long ago with something in regards to it [i want to say it was a skeptic in the 'sprint booster' thread]. dont know if anyone has tried it, but to me it seems like a waste of $10. im not cheap, and im not poor. but i make sure i knwo exactly what im gettin into when I invest into a mod.

good luck
Jay

Before I begin, I just want you all to know that I'm prepared to get flamed by many of you.

I did my research before I actually go ahead and bought the so call "Electronic stabilizer", I went through countless car magazines that did their independent research comparing various similar products on the market and the conclusion is to go with a reputable brand and not buy a knockoff brand(such as Ebay stuff).

The brand I purchased is call "Suns Automobile", they are a very reputable brand in Japan as well as rest of the asian tuner crowd. I could go on and on with all the researches that I found on "Electronic Stabilizer" products, but I'll just keep this short and to the point.

This product does not give you HP increases. Think of it as exactly what it's called "electronic stabilizer" or even simpler, a "capacitor". It holds small charges of electricity for those times when you need it, such as starting the car, turn on the headlights, etc... For example, when your car is idling, and you use the power windows, and your instrument panel kind of goes dim, well this product reduces the dim a bit or eliminates the dimming caused by the "burst" of extra use of electricity.

I went into "dyno mode" and observed the voltage display through various conditions (turn on all the lights, loud stereo blasting, etc...), I think this product does what it's suppose to, however, it's more EFFECTIVE on Older cars, and newer cars are not as noticeable.

It's got a bad reputation in US, I think mostly due to way too many knockoffs on Ebay, and name brands just refuses to enter this market with this product. With all that said, it's just my opinion and my experience. I've had this product for about 2 years and so far no problems and here are what I felt changed since I had it installed.

2-3 better MPG in fuel economy
Better acceleration response
Less dimming on instrument panels when using power windows

Get more details off the Suns Automotive website on your own.

BTW, our cars are already installed with ground wires, you don't need anymore

So all you have to do is hook up the negative wire from the Sun Hpyer Voltage to the negative terminal on the battery and the positive wire from the Sun Hpyer Voltage to the positive terminal on the battery? If its that easy and you say it works, it might be worth it?

In my opinion and experience, yeah i probably would buy it again, but like I said. Do some research on the web, there are a lot of reviews on this type of product from people if you just google it.
