TUNERAIDER Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hi all Fitted a Positive charging System yesterday then had a run from Folkestone to London. Got to say really noticed the difference. Have heard mixed reviews about these but it works for me. She drove fine before but now its just better. more responsive, a lot smoother, Lights are brighter inside and out. ( HD dashboard and Hid fogs and main with Led day running lights.) Its the TRD system very pleased with it. will stick a shot up later, all singing all dancing S4 wont let me attach one. Bye for now.

girth45 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hi this sounds interesting, where did you get it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUNERAIDER Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Did take the main earth off and re attach just put it on for space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUNERAIDER Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Guy at work gave it to me for a birthday pressie as he replaced his. Ive seen it on CR Performance about £60.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 It's a generic system with a TRD badge on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Never heard of these before, what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Never heard of these before, what is it? A capacitor. This one in particular appears to also act as an earth kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 So, uuuhhhh... what's it actually do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 So, uuuhhhh... what's it actually do? Ye, this. Please explain for those of us less technically minded! Basically, does it do something that will enhance or lengthen the existence of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUNERAIDER Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 This is a generic system just scraped the label. System comes from CR Performance. Can't complain got it for free! hl DaveR im not in the technical know myself. I have seen an improvement in all electrics and performance feels lke the engine is now concentrating on itself and all other power needs are supplied by the box. I was told that all the sensors work better as the ecu receives information better. As I say he dumbed down the explanation. All I know is she drives a lot better.

imi Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 not sure i understand how this can possibly make a difference.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 not sure i understand how this can possibly make a difference.... It just sounds like a capacitor to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 The idea behind this is that it stores electricity like a capacitor so there is a burst of electricity when required, which in turn aids in better acceleration and a better burn of the fuel. It also earths more of the cars electronics which works by creating less electronic interference to give a crisper acceleration. Apparently they work well. But to an extent that you would notice, not a chance as its minimal. To the op, if you are noticing a difference then I suggest you check your car and engine over as something might not be running 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUNERAIDER Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yep I did have some earthing issues before couldn't trace the fault but felt the power drain now and again. Whatever the issue was it's now fixed:) Between the hid lights, alarm , stereo , sat nav, and phone charger. My guess was the lights had them fitted as my sausage fingers couldn't get enough room. I did upgrade the battery made very little difference. Anyway as I said got it for nowt and all issues fixed. Made a big difference for me, which is nice:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
