I got the Buddy Club condenser for pretty much engine bling.
Here is what they claim:
- Cool blue led lights to spice up your engine bay
- 2 in 1 designed off both Grounding and Stabilize voltage
- Improve Horse power and torque
- Improve Fuel Economy
- Smooth idling with improve engine response
- Improve all electrical component performance
- Improve battery life
In theory it should work since its a big capacitor that stores electricity so when electronic stuff in the car start to demand more power the capacitor acts as a buffer power reservoir to lighten to the load on the alternator and battery.

The install
First I took a long look at where I should put my condenser unit. My TSX is bone stock just got it 2 weeks ago
I decided on the driver's side area. Looks bare and I notice there are covered holes.
When I removed the tape its just 3 holes.
Under they go nowhere and there is good clearance.
You need a taper set and a M6X1.0 taper
Tapered at M6X1.0 and taped up the other holes with electrical tape.
Took a standard M6 Honda bolt and put anti-seize on it.
The main negative terminal from the condenser I mounted it with the main battery negative terminal.
I grounded the throttle body and Intake Manifold.
Ground some random open bolt hole on the tranny.
Lastly you connect the main positive from the Buddy Condenser to the positive of the battery. Then you're done!
This is what she looks like at the end! Engine bling!

Tips
- Disconnect the main battery first before plugging up all the wires!
- Connect all the wires to the condenser first or else it will be hard to do after mounting it on the car. I lost a bolt and it fell somewhere
- Don't forget you have to punch in your radio security code after and set the time on your clock.

Results.
- Haven't driven around yet. Can't report on gas mileage yet.
- The starts seem the same takes 2 cranks before the engine starts.
- Idle feels the same.
