Seeing is Believing...

[attachmentid=1849481]

A picture with thousand words...
1) after test for few hours on last Friday, the device really show something when I fill up full tank on early morning today
2) the last time (many months ago) when i got DTE above 600KM is only when i driving on highway with 90~100KM/H and maintain light foot for city driving. Recently my DTE always between 530KM and 560KM. For above picture, its an improvement of 50KM at least.
3) on Friday itself, i stuck in heavy jam and speeding above 110KM/H when there is no traffic
4) so far the FC when idling at traffic light is improving.
5) pickup up still the same and at certain time way better than normal
6) So far travel 50% city 50% hiway manage to clock 128KM with DTE 487KM (if add up the figure same with picture above - quite accurate reading). Only 1 & half bar consume.
7) haven't test 100% light foot driving style.. and the result really outstanding. (if i can hit 550KM for 100% city driving with heavy traffic jam what you could expect for 100% highway driving? as i've manage to clock 630KM for 100% highway driving before (stock condition).. that's what i'm going to test right now.. i'm driving a lot in city. will test highway when going back hometown someday.

what else could i say.. i won't give further detail.. just assume it as a teaser.. will give more review when i finish full tank later. however, maybe it will takes long time than expected..  brows.gif

yup. compatible from 1.0 to 2.0 (got setting to match engine capacity)
no cutting. plug n play.
so if anything just take out and restore back to original condition.
however dunno whether got any negative effect in the long run.  blush.gif
maybe other sifu could advice further. icon_question.gif

product that i use 2 actually. one is kind of VS (plug at 12v socket). another one is like air bleeding/leaking concept.
i lazy to test one by one, put both straight away.

Already bought this la bro..rugilah klau tak guna. Anyway..i found that this air sterilizer is very2 good & well proven world wide. At least my car interior now smells fresh (like after rain smell) & able to reduce (sometimes total elimination) my morning running nose after about 10 minutes driving my car using it.

i found a few models on the internet for G4FC engine ...some are used in hyundai i30,coz they are using the same engine as well


ZFR5F-11 (NGK)
FR8HDC (bosch)
FQR8LEU2(bosch)
RC9MC4 (champion)
RC12MC4 (Champion)
RC12MC5 (Champion)
KJ 16CRU-11 ( denso)

the pages say they are all compatible with each other, but i'm not too sure about it. I think most listed are just normal copper electrode plugs, not performance plugs.

I'm looking for something like super 4 or bosch fusion or iridium for more power. u know la engine 1,6..car so heavy..cannot vroom vroom

Like to share my findings on above from DENSO JAPAN when I emailed to them on replacement for FORTE 1.6 stock plugs (CHAMPION RER8MC):

Dear Sir.
The Iridium Power for Champ. RER8MC is IXUH22.
IXUH22 dimension is 12mmThread Diameter, 26.5mm Thread Length ,16mmHex.
We,Denso <have just released IXUH22 in Singapore market. Some stores do not stock IXUH22
yet. In this situation,
please ask shop clerk if this IXUH22 can be ordered or not.


Apparently, Forte uses what is known as Long Reach type which is slim (12mm) and long (26.5mm) compared to most plugs like IK20 or IK16 which is bigger (14 mm) and shorter. It is to enable better cooling and to get better power for the engine due to its smaller size which enables better angle displacement for the valves in the engine.

Hope above helps for all Forte 1.6 owners who want to swap their stock plugs like me..

this was taken from SG Kia Club

old info pls update as ppl based on book not real part inspection to recommend

the only Denso Iriduim is IXUH22I for G4FC 1.6L Forte.
other makes not yet get as they have close match but like IXUH22 case wrong spec when you look at actual unit.
