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

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.


Added on October 25, 2010, 2:20 pmcalled Bosch confirmed no replacement for our model yet

yup, i read about the iXUH22I in sg forum too, but i found something on Bosch australia web site.

there are models compatible with G4FC engine . 1600cc.

they quoted this :

FR8DCX+ (normal use)

FR8DPX (more power i guess)

F3-4 (iridium fusion mode)

i think we need to check the plug size, coz many company quoted 19mm long plug while many ppl says 26.5mm. If the plug is too long, it may damage the engine , if we use 19mm got any problem ? the plug is still in the engine rite?

i previously asked from a kia dealer about the spark plug for gamma engine.. they quoted me denso IK20 , but i dont think its the right 1.

i saw IKH 20 in 1utama last nite, it has a longer reach.and the thread is thinner..anyone used before?

cnt.....the closest i think also 1.7x...almost 1.8.....but chances of damaging ur engine block is very high..
so, no point....in order to achieve 2.0 power, as well add soft turbo/supercharge it....
but definitely will void warranty...

what i mean is replacing the 1.6 gamma engine with 2.0 theta engine. will it fit?

1.6 gamma with soft turbo sound ok too, how much to add soft turbo?

i agree with Adin...y nt juz buy 2.0??
that's not call change....that's called swap engine....
yes, can.....no problem....but i rather get 2.0 model instead of swap engine....
soft turbo? dunno the price...

mine is a spectra5 actually , no 2.0 version offered in malaysia. 2.0 only in USA market.

if they share the same mounting, and everything else is same, then i can swap with 2.0 lo ..

btw, wat the thing 1.6 tuned to 1.8? mini kompressor?

hey forte ppl, NAZA KIA had is trying to run away from taking responsibilities from their warranty and poor workmanship.

I complained to them 3 times already...some they reply halfway, and the last 1 tak layan langsung...

yup.defect part..what is the use 5 years warranty if they dont even have heart to fullfill it.

5 years for us to keep on going to their service centre and get slaughtered?

i'm starting to doubt if i should keep my 5 years warranty..or go to mr. FOo for service

Guys. I got a problem with my Forte.

Last 2 days my sister sent my Forte (because I'm busy with things, so I drove my sister's car) to Puchong's SC to have the 25k service. And on the evening, I took my Forte for a spin to check whether its a smooth driving.

To my surprise, my car jerks (minimum jerk, I dunno what caused it) for quite sometime. I thot it was my engine idle timing, but thats not the case because the RPM didnt drop when it jerks.

I give the car about 2 days (drive and pray la) to rectify the problem by itself, but nope. It still there.

I checked my car's service report, and to my surprise (again) for the past 3 services, the SC uses 3 different lubricant (Synthium 800 (cost around RM98), 3000(RM100++) and another unknown name for the first service, cost RM200+).

My questions:

1) Anyone experience this before?
2) Is it okay to use different viscosity of oil in each services? Any facts?
3) Should I bombard that SC for messing my car? This is the second time they mess with my car. (Last time it was the engine oil plug. The SC didnt tightened it, so my porch was flooded with lubricant. Went there, they replaced it, say sorry, and a set of porcelain by Petronas (u buy engine oil at Petronas, u get that free item.)

I really pissed off right now.

I think most of us experienced the same. I was being promised to have my car done in 2 weeks times, but at last one and half month then i got mine. I bought coach tickets to travel back from JB twice to collect my car but end up i got nothing but lot of BS. I beh tahan n F them upside down and lastly, i got my car without giving any hopes on waiting time. Now i'm enjoying my ride and whacked 1.8k mileage within 2 weeks now. laugh.gif Got some funny sound on the engine side now. wakaka.. 5 years warranty mah.. Dun waste it. laugh.gif

seems like warranty issues huh .... BTW good news ,

i went to tribunal court with KIA and court had ordered them to replace my dashboard without any charges within 3 days from the day of award.

in their defence, they said they had offered to change the unit after i spammed their decision not to give warranty in few forums. So, lesson learned.

SPAM ALL U CAN AND MAKE THEM NOTICE !!!!

if you have gone through all the warranty booklet and still think urself is in the right place.

TAKE THEM TO TRIBUNAL COURT AND F*** THEM UP THERE.

I met their Assistant manager also, he say normal warranty issues will be handled by lower rank officers... he gave me his card as well, maybe u guys can call him up and report to him if u pek chek with the doings of lower ranks. his name is ROZILA ..its a man BTW.

EWP is useless la fren

even NAZA's warranty is useless. everytime you try to claim something and they dont want to give it to u..they will use the 1 and only clause in the warranty booklet.

please check ur warraty booklet, there is a clause which says NAZA had the rights not to replace ur parts after their officers had checked the car. BUT, the weird thing is..they'll never tell u what is wrong with it, and they wont give u a letter to explain it . My case its just a phone call and the operator tells u " tarak warranty due to secondary defect, cermin depan retak,pecah, tarak warranty " (AND I'm CLAIMING FOR DASHBOARD ->RETARD)...

so its like they will give u warraty if they like, if not then no warranty .

BUT also , luck is on our side..please SUE THEM IN TRIBUNAL COURT..like what i did. and get my parts changed. BTW.please spam in forums too . we would like to hear what other dirty tricks they are trying to use.
