A first...exclusively for SCIONLIFE...decided to wait off on CARDOMAIN...they can wait to hear and see about it...
OOOOooo yeah JDM only...
This week I was finally able to pick up the full HYPER set-up system from SUN AUTOMOBILE JAPAN...this kit included the GROUND system and the GT VOLTAGE STABILIZER...EST PRICE...250 for the GT version and 115 for the ground wires...almost 400...
It is suppose to increase tourque, throttle response, MPG, etc....
I only felt my car drive smoother and yeah the throttle response...more sensitive...
But I would have to say that once this kit is installed properly...you'll give your engine bay a meaner and way cleaner look...this is what took the most time...not necessarily installing it but first figuring out where to place the wires so it ACTUALLY LOOKS NICE AND CLEAN...
pics will be up by request and as soon as I get time to snap some...thanks
PS...YOU'LL BE BLOWN AWAY BY HOW CLEAN IT IS...SO GET READY... |

| Looks the same to me but now you have a giant red box with more wires hanging out. Guess I need a before and after pic to really see the difference. |

^--+1 agreed, now you have a stock engine bay with a mess of eye catching red wires all over and a giant box that could have been hidden somewhere.
i hope you were being sarcastic when you said "YOU'LL BE BLOWN AWAY BY HOW CLEAN IT IS...SO GET READY..."
the wires need a trim, they all have too much slack.
Mind you this is my opinion only.. I am sure you wanted to go for the uber complicated colorful look..
I made my ground wire kit for about $12, made a voltage stabilizer for another $20 in parts from radio shack, and hid everything nicely with some black wire loom. No one can tell i have a ground wire kit, or voltage stabilizer.
It's for sure colorful and eye catching, but i guess our defininitions of "clean" differ.
Props nonetheless! most people think that ground systems are a waste of time... I deff noticed smoother idle and *slightly (cough) better throttle responce, but much smoother idle for sure. |

Are you telling us that you paid $400 for that?
Y'know, just because it's from Japan, doesn't mean it's awesome. |

First of all why would I cut the wires??...and second im pretty sure you wouldnt want anyone to notice that in the first place because you made it yourself and yes difinitions are different... |

I also notice that you didn't deny spending $400 on wires. That's awesome, I'll never be as baller as you. |

oh snap, I got the exact same thing for 19 bucks! Wait, would I actually want to waste money on this? Nope!
Lastly, why would you cut the wires? To shorten them? The longer the wire the more resistance, meaning the less gain. Well assuming that you get a gain out these wires. I vote cut the wires down a bit shorter, and gain another 15 hp! |
