Grounding System & Voltage Stabiliser

[hansc]

guys,

just wanna check, anyone of u guys have installed grounding system/cable in your engine bay? wat brand u use?

i am now still deciding whether to go ahead with Pivot Voltage Stabiliser (VS) with Grounding Cable or SplitFire Grounding cables....... the pivot package cost around 190+ and the splitfire ones are approx 140.......

any comments? anyone installed VS and wat is the improvements like? appreciate your advise!!! :_:

 

[rinagi]

most of us install pivot vs but i installed c-ground's vs.. for me... c-ground's earthing wire better.. but dunno how 2 compare the c-ground vs and pivot vs..

 

[hansc]

rinagi,

how much is c-ground's vs?

 

[rinagi]

cheap ... forgotten how much.. =]
search in thread for "c-ground"

 

[c-ground]

hi. :P

 

[rinagi]

wah.. he heard....

 

[c-ground]

hehe!

btw, have you solved the problem with your stock battery terminal connector?

 

[rinagi]

wah... remember me also... damn good memory ler you ... my case, i jus tanam 1 screw to solve it...

 

[c-ground]

you can actually try to use the connector for NS40. It's available in sparepart shop. Made of brass. Forgotten to tell you this last time.

How about Hot InaZma? Is it any good? It's famous in Japan.

 

[rinagi]

for me... i chosen c-ground.. try to meet him and ask him explain...

I have just posted this in other forum and I think it helps in understanding what grounding and voltage stabilizing are all about:

All production cars has the body/chassis & engine block/alternator as a "common ground", where all electical/electronic systems are grounded to. Some manufacturers already have implemented factory voltage stabilizer, either as a separate or an intergrated module in the ECU.

Electricity is all about Voltage, Current and Resistance as we can see from the Ohm's Equation: V = IR. We can see that voltage and current is interrelated by a factor, which is the resistance. Resistance wastes energy, reduced resistance improves efficiency - simple physical law.

Therefore, grounding is mainly to reduce energy lost with end result of improved efficiency in all electro-mechanical related areas.

Now, we talk about signal. Almost all the sensors in an EFi engine produce signal in voltage. The ECU sends reference voltage to the sensors and the sensor signal is processed based on the deviation of the two voltages. Accurate signal is important for accurate computation and accurate actuation - a/f trimming, ignition timing, etc. However, with all the electrical noises generated by the ignition system, fuel injectors, intermittent operation of a/c compressor, etc, the voltage is never near "clean" and "stable". The electronic system is designed to tolerate the noise, but not without extra load.

So, voltage stabilizing is mainly to filter the voltage spikes in the electrical system, with the end result of improved accuracy in electonic related areas.

In simple words: Grounding is a NEED, it needs to be efficient. Voltage stability a WANT, we want it to be accurate.

Yes. I know the difference btw grounding and voltage stabilizing. Thanks anyway. I am now asking an opinion about a specific product. Any experiences with Hot InaZma?

just browsing thru the forum n saw tis thread...

for ur info, splitfire cables are not selling tat low price. most probably is not original one. get it check before u purchase.

for reference, u can se how much N1 selling...http://n1racing.net/eshop/index.php?pg=list&prod_id=55

Hot Inazma is good but it is pricy, so less ppl buy it. u can gv it a trial as u wush though, it is rm500++ for a vs rite?

Thanks, bro.
