Default Buddy Club Racing Condenser

Hello, Just wondering if anyone has one and if it makes any difference at all?

Or is it just another bling like the oil cap...

Personally think its fools gold but won't do any harm.

The benefits despription is laughable, and is what puts me off most.

Get some thick gauge earth cable and strap it from the battery to the chassis if you have earthing concerns.

(looks like you have something there?)

I need to update my sig with a newer engine bay pic, but my camera is broken

Yes i got the spoon earth code wires installed, so the earthing feature from the Buddy Club Racing Condenser is pretty much useless for me.

However the claims they made on increased HP/Torque im not so sure even they had a dyno graph to prove it all...

If they claim increased bhp they want hanging.

eho - In your engine bay photo there are four "poles" just in front of the brake fluid reservoir. They have four red cables coming out of them. What are they?

the condenser is basically a capacitor in a box with an earthing kit thrown in.

It is feasable they could help with power how much however would be hard to quantify, the earth kits can help RESTORE the connection quality lost over time of the original earths.

the capacitor can in theory help as it will ensure an even,stable battery voltage in the engine bay, as it constantly charges, discharges and recharges (very very quickly) .the stable voltage ensures all the sensors, ecu, injectors have exactly the same voltage helping them to work well
