Message: <blockquote data-quote="Clutch_Shift_Accelerate" data-source="post: 1064671181" data-attributes="member: 158164">Hey g4i8y0t, that's a good question. The best way for you to tell, is to drive the car without the VS + grounding cables at high RPMs and then with the VS + grounding cables. Conduct this test with the radio blasting music, lights on full and air con on full. Sadly I have not recorded any data to show my test results of this experiment.Upon driving the car towards red line or close enough (5k RPM), you'll notice the acceleration output (wheel speed) will be ever so slightly affected. Also, when oscillating the throttle response, you'll notice a hick-up in the response time compared to before installing the VS + grounding cables.Now for your circuit design. If you'd like to improve it, I'd recommend using lower capacitor values with low ESR and a larger array of them to get the total capacitance that you desire. The individual capacitance of a capacitor is far more important than the total capacitance of the VS. Typically they follow a charge time curve, that being said, the larger each individual capacitance of a capacitor the longer it takes to charge them. It would appear I didn't make this clear in my above explanation. Thank you for pointing it out.Also, capacitors and batteries are not the same thing. A car battery produces energy through a chemical reaction. A capacitor stores charge between its plates and releases charge when certain conditions are met. It does not produce energy. Rather than make this super long and technical, just have a read about capacitors on Wikipedia. That ought to help give a good idea of how they function. If you still have questions, do let me know.Finally, a total capacitance value of 90000uF is actually alright and it does not mean it will automatically prove to be a heavy load on the time response of the electrical system. This comes down to the selection of individual capacitors used in combination, the orientation of the circuit, ESR of the entire circuit and the health of the 12V battery. It would be ideal to build a VS system close to that value. However due to costing, circuit orientation and build dimensions, I've designed my VS to do as much as it can with a mere 18000uF. I have explored a bigger capacitance system, however it makes it difficult to mount in the engine bay and increases the cost of the product significantly because of the number of capacitors used. Japan made capacitors are not cheap sadly, especially with the increase in their currency recently.I can design and build a VS of higher capacitance that would in theory smoothen the power signals response even further, if people are willing to pay for it. However, I feel that most users already question the functionality of VS + grounding cable systems, so I do not enforce this onto them especially due to its increase in price (an estimated total of RM340 for VS + grounding cable + custom installation).Hope my reply helps~</blockquote>
