I moved those to the rear doors but bought a couple of nicer reflector-type door protectors to replace them for the front doors. PROTON SAGA BLM, FL, FLX CLUB V15, Saga FLX - It's EVEN Better

QUOTE(zeone @ Sep 14 2011, 08:10 AM) Haha... anyway, if you change to iridium, please update us. Maybe wanna change to that too I read http://www.densoiridium.com/faq.php and this is a quote on performance. QUOTE Generally, you do not purchase spark plugs for performance enhancement. While DENSO Iridium Power spark plugs have contributed to numerous accomplishments through dyno-testing and actual use, their true benefit lies in their efficiency, durability, and improved firing power. Serious tuners modify their vehicles by increasing boost through turbo-chargers, super-chargers, and Nitrous. They are also known to add high-energy ignition systems, tinker with timing, adjust fuel mixture ratios, and increase horsepower through other means. Putting these kinds of demands on their engine increases the need for an efficient, durable spark plug that can handle these kind of harsh environments. That’s where DENSO Iridium Power can make a major difference. |

Quoted from drexchan
QUOTE THINGS THAT WORK (improving engine performance directly, even without the synergic effect from other modifications): 1. adjustable fuel regulator 2. lightened crank pulley 3. high lift and high overlapping angle camshaft 4. adjustable cam gear 5. tuned length exhaust header with suitable piping and muffler system 6. cold air intake 8. increase the compression ratio 9. advance the ignition timing 10. engine balancing and blue printing 11. head port & polish 12. ECU piggyback, stand alone, rechipping 13. engine re-bore, re-stroke and rebulit. THINGS THAT WORKS WITH CONDITION (only work when at least some of the modifications in the first list was done): 1. ignition system upgrade 2. water/methanol injection 3. additional or bigger heat exchangers 4. thermo wrapping of the exhaust system NICE THINSG TO HAVE (not neccessarily adding power but will help you in extracting more from the engine, or to prevent damages) 1. gauges 2. silicone radiator hoses 3. oil catch can 4. better clutch 5. ground cable 6. voltage stabilizer 7. magnetic oil sump bolt, magnetrap 8. powerbelt 9. aluminum fuel rail (for those with composite fuel rail) 10. high amperage alternator THINSG THAT DO NOT WORK (or are too high in term of cost/performance value, or you can simply DIY): 1. microkompressor and MOST air leaking device 2. all sorts of magnet for the air and fuel, unless it`s for the crankcase lubricant 3. all sorts of air swirling devices, active or passive, for the intake track. 4. MOST fuel additives, octane booster, etc 5. Stickers. |

QUOTE(Cyphereza @ Sep 14 2011, 08:13 AM) Tks 4inserted quote! And sure...me will update after conversion done. No worries. Background to this present thought: Previously stock plugs of ole ride replaced by Bosch Super 4 set. Only <RM50. Felt smoother idling, easier starting & smoother acceleration noticeable. BUT that ride oledi really OLD... Added on September 14, 2011, 8:39 am QUOTE(ericmaxman @ Sep 14 2011, 08:23 AM) So spark plugs change comes under "Things that work with conditions"?Well, BTW me am getting the plugs fr Drex lo... Not expecting anything phenomenal... Juz improving ignition system so as to ensure smoother firing & mayb better combustion of fuel(?) nia. Cos the heart of an internal combustion engine is that important tiny SPARK which starts it & keeps it moving! True? Next DIY mayb a local VS? Used 2hv one (Zaptor Gold...now called Evolve) fr HuaKenny lo. This post has been edited by zeone: Sep 14 2011, 08:39 AM |
