Hey all,

Anyone know who much improvement you get with an earthing kit (already fitted) and a voltage regulator (not fitted yet)? My readings vary from about .1 to .2 volts on average, is it worth bothering for that? If so, where's best to purchased just a regulator as I've done the earthing kit myself (and yes, it did work, ohms readings reduced in various locations to battery).

Cheers

 

No one done testing?

 

Hi Swisstoni

I would guess by voltage regulator you would mean a voltage stabilizer, I have done no back to back test but I have a RAIZIN stabilizer fitted to my bugeye, it was my first mod as I kept it from my previous car. It made a difference to the number of cranks needed to start the engine, I also never suffer from dimming headlights, voltage is constant at 14v so no dip in power when suddenly flooring the throttle.

From previous experience I wouldn't fit one if you run equipment that reads the voltage drop i.e. some turbo timers, power meters etc. Due to you having a constant voltage of say around 14v these items think you are either constantly booting it (turbo timer) and will then opt for the longest cool down time or in the case of some power meters just won’t give proper readings as there is no signal pulse to read varying speed.

As for what model to get look at RAIZIN Jap brand just be careful of ebay as there are copies about, the D2 unit also seems good.

 

Tops, thanks.
