When I booked my Sportage at Kia Jln Pahang during Raya, saw a brand new old model going for 97k

Added on January 19, 2012, 1:41 pmI paid slightly above 300 for the Alternator Booster for my Lancer as I was a regular customer at KL Auto.
Noticeable improvement:-
Quiter background on the audio system, with deeper bass.
For engine, less vibration when idling, better pickup.
Never take note on the FC though as I changed the exhaust setup after that

naza should bring in more stocks...

prob not enuf stocks to distri around for our market...

anyone got insight news?

how was the unit connected? from the fuse box?
how many wires do you know?

perhaps someone shows step by step photo guide here?

Sorry bro, sold my Lancer already.... and the Alternator Booster also
It just looks like 1 big size capacitor wrapped in thermal material.
Des said the components inside are from Germany and I just took his words.
1 cable connected to the battery terminal (can't remember) and another to the car body (ground cable)

that's different, that's a parallel capacitor. What i does it helps to store energy. That's better for audio than for spark plug.
There are many german made capactiors for car. I work in the audio line but for home, we used the Mundorf Line from germany as i know its popular for car use here.

I am thinking of making one of these for my car, need that for my other car helps to stabilize the voltage during heavy current draw.
My other car is a korean GM optra, i was told the battery life suffers because the voltage is not stable. I change battery every 1 year. Its a DIN battery so its RM320 per year. I suspect the sportage would have the same issue after 5 years.
There is a guy on lowyat selling this erictioh if i am not wrong. Not going that route as the caps are from Pasar road Penang company which is not so good for deep current like our car. Going for better stuff from Japanese manufacture based in Bangi

was looking for new car new year ma..
Just feeling they take me for granted.. the latest promised from the SA is the next Tuesday 31st January sigh..

Sad to say this but you have not much choice in the matter.
If you want to change to a new car and in SUV category not much. There are vehicles with less functions and gadgets like x-trail and crv

guess have to keep on waiting. Where did you book anyway?

I booked in Penang during their roadshow in Queensbay mall.
yea..i checked at that price, Sportage is the best offer, considering it has push start, bluetooth, reverse camera etc etc.
the Optima K5 look awesome too. just 5k more.. but i think sportage will suit me more..

anybody here planning to upgrade the car speakers? stock model sounds a bit muffled. any good recommended brands to propose?

hand itchy to change also.. reluctant to change because it's a new car.. will it void our 5 years warranty if change ? u changed?

Guys, gonna go for my first 1000km service soon.

Any recommendation of which reliable service center to go for? or should I go back to the SA place to do it?

Thanks!!!

install the kn air filter
power increase noticeable
i had a drop in fc, usually back to penang its 8.5/100km now its 8/100km
all in all i think its a good mod to get
now testing the firestorm alternator booster got it install yesterday

Keep us updated on the Firestorm bro

Any of you guys can confirm that our fog lamp is using 881 bulb (same as Forte)?
Thinking of changing the foglight to HID but not many accessory shops sell 881 kit.

I know the headlamp and hi-beam are using H7 coz I just changed this weekend

Bro this booster is it install at the fusebox near the engine bay one??
Can take some photo of the location
Most important is the effect...
Dont want to be conned by useless product already...
Yes the foglamp is 881 base bulb
Not recommemded to change HID as the original voltage is 27watt while hid is 35watt
You might need to add a wiring harness (relay) or some ballast that built in with warning cancellers

it is place in the fusebox
to install what they did is to remove the 20A fuse (yellow fuse) insert the device into the fuse holder
basically the unit is in series connected to the coil over plugs
Also before they install into the car did they a number of testing to make sure it is fitted nicely. DId a few revs to make sure product working. Reving sounds better with the unit install

so far from the day i did not drive much yet. will report more over the weekend after driving back from penang

From the initial driving experience, the engine is quieter, gear changes seem to be smoother and can rev longer and power increase a bit more.

most important if i am not satisfied with the product, i can ship it back to penang and get a refund minus postage. the seller is that confident.

Thanks bro....
No wonder 1 acc. shop told me need to add another RM30 for a relay if I want to change to HID...

Sorry still dont have the idea on how to plug in this device
Better if got a better photo to show the installation process
thx
