I bought mega raizin for my lancer about 10 years ago. Now my lancer has died, I am going to move it to my accord euro.
Before I do that I am planning to replace the capacitors with quality capacitors, which will give me bigger capacity and last a long time.
I just ordered 4 Nippon Chemi-con (16V) 6800 uf and one smaller 3900 uf which total to 31000 uF. The mega raizin with the 5 capacitors has capacitance of 21000 uF. Capacitor I bought is the high temp, long life and low resistance variety. Capacitor is approx $20 from rs components.
Anyone interested in doing the same? Basic soldering skill is required.
I'll probably do it at some point when my pivot capacitors start to get old.
Is yours the five capacitor (mega version) unit? Or four?
People who are worried about getting fakes, can replace the capacitors with quality Japanese capacitors. This is the big component of the voltage stabiliser.
I need to check it out but you can get 10000 uF instead of 6800 uF (same dimension as the pivot capacitors (16 mm dia and 40 mm long)). The difference is service life, 10000 uF (2000 hrs) and 6800 uF (10,000 hrs).
