As we know, there are many benefits stabilizing and cleaning the electrical system on our rides. The effect is more pronounced on modern ECU /EFI cars. The more Electronics...the better the effect.
Even F1 use the KERS system to give additional electrical boost. So augmenting electrics work...Full stop.
Your typical Volt Stabiliser (VS) like Pivot, Hot Inazma works on the battery, the Power filter/distributor ...the TNB of the system.
The Alternator is the Power Generator. It produces the electrical juice that powers everything. So cleaning and "turbo-charging" the alternator offers even bigger improvements.
For AW bros, pop by for a No-Obligation Test run. You then decide.
Below are some feedback from the LancerGT forum where the Alternator Booster is very popular. It is even titled "Civic stlye response for sluggish Lancer GT Pick-Up"
"Just installed the Alternator Booster at KL Auto. I was taken aback so to speak.
Throttle response so much better, when going from 1000 - 4500 rpm range.
1000 - 2000 rpm definately crisp and immediate.
Engine is so much smoother.
Transmission much smoother.
Improvement to stock sound system - sound came out more clearly and sharp than before" Donyong, LancerGT
"I installed the Alternator Booster yesterday and there is definitely a difference, it feels like the car has more push from 2000 rpm onwards and the throttle feels lighter, the engine is smoother also. I guess this will definitely save us fuel when we get used to the slightly extra torque. One thing though which I noticed is that my crappy stock FM radio which normally phases in and out quite often, doesn't do so as often as before. And when it does happen, the duration is much shorter before it gets back to normal reception again, definitely helped on the audio dept. I can safely say that installing this has a better effect than installing a Voltage Stabiliser. I already had the Pivot installed before installing this mod, it could be a synergistic effect. It has 2 wires, one goes to the battery +ve and the other connects to the cars body, ground. This product is worth getting." Overdrive, LancerGT.
3 question on the alternator booster,
1) will it effect the alternator life spend to be shorten ? as it force the alternator to work "harden" than it suppose to be..
Should not affect alternator's life but theoratically, should prolong it and the car's other electronic components as well. Else car manufacturers wont be using it as OE.
2) will it work under the extremely HOT condition like car with High pressure turbo in lousy heat ventilation engine bay ?as my pivot blue was useless in my HOT engine bay...
Very good question. Electronics dont work well in the heat. That is why AB is specially designed to work in the engine compartment with high vibration load. We even wrap it in special insulation to keep it cool.
3) how will it work on those car that battery was located at rear trunk?
For car batteries at the Boot, it would be even more beneficial. Helps mitigate your higher wiring resistance
4) what is the difference between the alternator booster in comparison to the guangdao photoconductor that you sell as well. Which one is better?
The Guang-Dao thing is just a higher quality cable that supplements the stock Alternator cable by allowing more current flow to the battery/system.
The AB does more functions. Apart from filtering and stabilizing the Alterntor output, it helps stiffen the Current ( Power).
eg: when driving at 4K RPM, the alternator is working at optimum. You suddenly hit the brakes hard, the revs will fall fast. You then will lose charge and juice. The Alternator Booster (AB) will help reinforce and stiffen the charge.
That is why most ppl who have used it confirm better acceleration and Pick-Up.
5) what's the price for this gadget? and does grounding cables and a VS complements its use. Or is it an "all in one" product.
From tests and feedback, the AB is far more effective than any VS, irrespective of price. And some of them can cost Rm 1K. Independent tests have confirmed an average 2 bhp and 3nM torque gain. And we have gone to the improvements to the Audio, smoother idling etc.
But if you pair it with a good VS and grounding...even Better lah.
Price is Rm 450 with Heavy Duty Fuse & install.
