(diy) spark booooooster

[yinghai]

Some may not know about this product that has been copied over and over and over again with lots of different name.. Power booster, spark booster, spark optimizer, power abuser ignite, acceleration booster with a price tag from spark optimizer 120 to the famous pa ignite 230 bucks.. Some claim their ""breaking technology"" from germany, italy or uk with patent pending.. forever waiting pending for patent that cannot be patent anymore.. To show customer that is a new technology in the market that has already exist ages ago.. If you dont wanna spend money on costly ready made power booster, here is my diy that cost around 10 bucks...

 

The main component of the device is the capacitor itself.. About 2 bucks..

I had a 10000uf lying around but a 4700uf capacitor is enough.. Seen some using a 6800uf..

 

Pnp type transistor to-220, MBR1560CT, around 3 bucks

Not sure whats the use, ampifly?? Hahas..

 

Barrier diode 1N5822, 1 bucky

Pcb Board, 1 buck buck

To make everything looks cleaner rather than standard spark booster trying to save cost by soldering everything to the wire..

 

You need some connectors and good thick wires(please dont use normal skinny wires) as well as some time to solder everything together..

 

Solder them all together according to this schematic.. You dont really need the led and resistor.. purely comestic.. Doesnt gain any hp..

Didnt have time to really take picture of the whole process.. Very busy person with lots of project.. So these are the few pics..

And this is the finished product

Next just find a small hobby box to hide it.. Most of the device is dip into resin and wrapped just like that.. Cut cost... Everything also cut cost when the cost is less than 10 percent of the selling price.. The other advantage of their black resin, customer cant take the device apart to see what german cheese technology used inside other than a simple stuff that cost less than 10 bucks..

 

For those who wonders, my green is my ground, brown input and the blue output..

 

Installation??

You will need to look for the 12v supply to your ignition coil.. Doesnt do anything for cdi application.. Some is easily disconnected and some you have to cut the wire in order to install.. Once you cut or disconnect the wire connecting the 12v supply and the coil, the blue wire (output) will connect to the wire at the coil, brown wire(input) to the 12v supply wire.. Green?? Just ground it.. Its just connecting the wires in between the wire you just cut or what people say connecting it in series..

 

Result??

Tried on my car, my two friends car, my bike and my test vehicle, cant really feel anything.. So youre saying my device dont work?? I do own a couple of spark booster including the famous and the most expensive one.. Same device.. Same result... Wonder how a same stuff can produce different result.. Wonder whats the result on a dyno..

 

Anyway, i have lots of diy to share including my diy chain oiler with fully adjustable 555 timer for drip duration, drip interval wired to solenoid pump(not those windscreen washer pump).. Im using soap pump.. Tiny motor.. If i have time.. I will post all my diy up.. Thanks for taking time to read my diy thread..

Upz for u!! DIY King!!

 

Do share more of ur DIY details!

Just a warning to everyone intending to DIY their own stabiliser ... Watch the capacitor that you use!

 

The brand of the capacitor shown above is "LUXON" - a brand that has since merged with TEAPO ... A firm reputed for making failing capacitors: http://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=18638

 

Also, it is dangerous to use a 16V capacitor in a voltage stabiliser for bikes. Rectifiers typically put out up to 15 volts at high RPM's, and in circuit design there is an important concept known as "voltage derating" when it comes to aluminium electrolytic capacitors. A 16V capacitor is very unlikely to last even 3 months without depleting significantly. Google to find out more, because I don't want to post the techie geeky stuff and formulas here. A long-life capacitor of at least 25V should be used instead.

 

When a capacitor fails, it does so gradually so the effect of having the stabiliser there "fades away". You will know when after a few months you remove the gadget and feel no difference.

 

Also ... When the components are not properly sealed and waterproof, rust will set in over time due to rain and condensation. Next comes short circuits and maybe even a blown ignition fuse while riding.

 

A properly-built stabiliser with good components will definitely improve response and pick-up, reduce the amount of engine braking / stress, and on most bikes cause a little bit of fuel savings. But a poorly-built one could lead to the hospital bed or coffin when the engine dies and there's a speeding car behind.

 

Do exercise due caution and seek an engineer's help when making such DIY gadgets, because accidents on 2 wheels are no joke.

Yes, using a good capacitor is important. You do not wish to catch fire under your seat.

[yinghai]

Just wanna add that most of the voltage stabiliser sold in singapore are badly made with cheap components and mostly DIY.. So i see no difference in ready built and diy.. Even in power gains, fuels savings or other claims.. Even the raizin in sg is mostly fake with cheap components as well... Ive experience lots of failed vs, it didnt kill the bike or bring me 6 feet under.. Lots of people all over the world is doing it with no problems.. So i say, its safe to diy one..

[yinghai]

Another thing to add, the luxon was pulled off from another vs made by our fello singaporean..

Yup, good capacitor brands include Nichicon, Rubycon, EPCOS and Illinois Capacitor. Original ones can be purchased in small quantities from Element 14 at Tai Seng Drive (http://sg.element14.com)

There are those that make a difference in terms of response, pick-up, engine stress, headlight flicker and slight fuel savings. Although results vary from bike to bike.

That's disgusting.

Ive tried diy programmable cdi bro.. Sounds like you totally got the wrong person dude.. This diy thread is up for the benefit of others.. Ive also stated if you dont wish to pay, you can diy one.. If you cant diy, go ahead and buy them.. I dont sell..

cool headed dude bro. like the saying goes, it always take two hands to clap. i thought a flaming war is going to start but you actually put out the fire.

[crazydj]

yinghai is not the guy who you're saying. So who is the guy you're saying?

[-eVo-]

My apology as say at my last sentence.

 

Sincerely my apology....... I got the wrong person.... Am sorry....

 

Peace out.... Cheers....

"I walk up to someone who i think stole my money. I shouted at him, accusing him of stuff, calling him names and all that. At the end of my rant, i tell him that if he is not the person i am looking for, i apologise."

 

Seems legit.

[yinghai]

Chill out guys.. Anyway, i would also like to apologize if im flaming any product in the market.. Anyway, i wonder if anyone knows the very first appearence of this product were sold in sg at around 25-35bucks.. The small red green and blue box?..

yeah legit..like somrbody wnt to bann me..by using other people hand..

you feel the hurt...

trying warn others for the dangers,,

and no apology or anyting...the administrator has clearr heads..just shut down the poll for banning me..haha...

 

and you know what..after doing all the not reccomended stuff...now want to unload the bike..haha....

 

 

glad to hear evo has apologised...you got my vote for doing the right thing..

The difference is that you care too much. For me, i'm the kinda person who says it once, then says it a second time and if you do not wish to seek my advice, then i will not push the matter further. People have the right to choose, whether it is for the good or bad.

Heard that someone requested to break open and expose someone else's booster ? My little worth opinion is , I dun think anyone have to right to ask him to break open and expose his product . if u really can/have proof that his booster is faulty and endangering others rider's safety , I'm sure he dun mind you to go straight to his face and tell him so . Otherwise pls keep all negative comments to Urself as he is also trying to make a living , if u really can't stop flaming and posting negative comment without proof not only on SBF or anywhere . I'm sorry but legal action will be taken .

Thanks for taking your time to read this .

Whoever that design this booster used his time and effort to design it. If you were to take it out and compare/judge it, isn't it kind of unfair to the person that designed it? Find out what's in it, then how is he going to gain business from that?

That's why they have patents for a reason.

[yinghai]

I believe all these product are not patented, trademarked or copyrighted.. Im sure we can tear open and do whatever we want with it..

[wind21]

admin wun have asked u to remove the post if he/she find it appropriate . can someone like educate me on why you guys wanna expose the booster ? to prove that the booster is actually not doing what it's said to do ?
