Thread: Stage 1 Volt Booster - Modified

I have the big 3 done on my car, I was looking to increase the voltage just a little bit for a better spark and possibly increase the speed of my pumps. Hopefully this helps my idle voltage when I reduce the idle again for the fun sound of my cam. I do wonder if this works well for the after market stereos that have an issue with the stage 2 voltage booster.

You will get no better spark. The voltage regulator for the coils only outputs a set amount of voltage. It will store the correct amount, and only emit a certain amount. It will turn away any increase, because, after all, it is regulated.

So you pretty much wasted your time with that one.

I bought the stage 1 a while back. Is this diode safe to do with a Vplus voltage booster and the alternator power cable. Or does this generate to much voltage.

O well, it kept me busy. The real test for me is when it is 100* outside and I am in stop and go traffic with the AC cranking. So far this mod with the big 3 helped my idle voltage alot. Which is the reason for my looking into this.
