What it should do

- Increases torque at low and middle speeds.
- Stabilizes idling and improves engine kink-over.
- Improves engine response.
- Increases headlight brightness.
- Improves fuel economy.
- Improves battery life.
- Improves bass sound.

Cost
- $100ish give or take abit whether its brand new or second hand

How it performed for me
- Brighter head lights (im running mtec bulbs)
- Idling more stable
- Throttle is more responsive down low
- Cranking the engine seems short and clean

Random Stuff
- Fuel economy TBD
- Sound seems to be abit clearer but mehh
- Battery life? farks me lol
- Dont feel any noticeable power gains but things are a tad more responsive
- Heard this is dyno proven and volt tested proven, jus too lazy to find the info
- More engine bling but still within the JDM shopping list :p

Installing points
- Alternator Bolt
- Dizzy bolt
- Front chassy
- Rocker cover
- TB bolt
- Gear box beneath the pre-existing ground wire
- Along any bolts near the injectors
- Pre-existing ground wire located at the firewall
- Beneath the fuse box bolts
- wateva really tickles ur fancy


Random pic, basic places to bolt the ground cables
use ur imagination, spread them wires like

Expanding the product
- 3 grounding cable came with the stabilizer i bought which appears to be how they come like. This kinda limited me from wanting all my desired spots to be grounded. But its quite easy to jus add more ground cables to the earth kit, from there ur pretty much free to ground where ever u please in ur engine bay.

Gayness of product
- Without zip ties or even with zip ties, ur engine bay will look kinda messy
- Double sided tape will be needed to mount this sucker down (mines on the fuse box)
- Defectable?? mehh not sure, still TBD
- Plenty of fake copies of this around, them ones usually do squat all
- This over a cheap strut bar? this :D
- Blah blah blah thanks for reading

I heart the SSS

ok basically, im just gonna point some shit out here

the capacitors play no purpose.

capacitors are only do shit when they have a positive voltage flowing thru them

this is a ground kit, so the caps do sweef fcuk all

a gimmick, imo

plus the wires look too small

best off doing your own

essentially, make up a buss bar, or distribution block out of aluminium, or your desired conductive metal, and drill say 6 or 7 holes in it. mount it securely in the engine bay. run one or two 0guage wires to it from teh negative battery terminal.

then using the other 5 or so holes, run 4ga wire to locations around the engine bay

to pretty much the locations listed above

- Alternator Bolt
- Dizzy bolt
- Front chassy
- Rocker cover
- TB bolt
- Gear box beneath the pre-existing ground wire
- Along any bolts near the injectors
- Pre-existing ground wire located at the firewall
- Beneath the fuse box bolts
- wateva really tickles ur fancy

its not filled with gimmicks, its cheaper, the cable is bigger and you have teh satisfaction of diy
