Kongratulasi Dato zeuno atas kerjayaan membangkitkan tered BLM/FL/FLX/SE nie. Buat sementara nie, hanya sohigh pengumuman akan diberikan untuk warga BLM + FL, sila merajuk..merajuk or merujuk unsure.gif di bawah:

I have ordered TAXI spring from SiuYi! I'll be the pioneer(or so called white rat) among BLM+FL to test taxi spec. According to SiuYi, taxi spring provide higher load because of NGV conversion + all time full load, and therefore a 1 round extra + haier weight tolerance was introduced. In the hope of using this spring to overcum butt sagging issue and to solve/reduce sagat for 55 series tayar. Will provide report once complete taxi spring conversion. icon_rolleyes.gif

Wow, even my Persona with NGV hasn't got any suspension change.

Got saggy?

You saw my car, got sag? Current technology of NGV has improved. My large 70L Type II composite tank is only 50KG. If there's more budget for Type IV tank, it's going to be super light.

Iridium or copper it doesn't matter, because the bottleneck is the current supplied to the to the spark plugs via the coil.

If you take a look at the firestorm video, you'll see what I mean. If anyone is technically inclined enough and able to plug the Firestorm directly to each coil instead of the fusebox, the effect will be even more dramatic.  blush.gif

Furthermore, iridium plugs are not cheap either  nod.gif

Honest review for Firestorm, there is an increased idle jerk when A/C kicks in. Reduced rich mix jerk at high speed.

The power when accelerating is really good. I will go to my tuner to tune for leaner mix to reduce jerk, hopefully with Firestorm, the engine doesn't stall.

Noticeable in petrol too but much less significant because of different fuel mapping. Doesn't occur all the time either, there could be some other parameter that causes A/C compressor jerk which I still have not found.

Maybe it's a bug in Persona ECU, when A/C kicks in, the ignition timing is reported to be -64 degrees, and that's when it jerks.

Nothing too severe actually, considering the massive power gain.

Cables exiting by side of Fusebox allows a clear easy location 2cable-tie Firestorm module. That's a plus point.

If routed the way me had done, cables are not pressed by fusebox cover... A plus point here2.
However, location 2cable-tie unit is kinda cramped area.

A matter of choice...as alwaz... tongue.gif

ps. Actually that area is not as messy as mine...mine like a snake-pit cos of UNprofessional connections to LED strips @front grille.  brows.gif

Persona fuse box is different and it has no unsealed path sad.gif

I took a look at the FS, saw many compressed points on the cable

it is fine. just dont put at the edge/near the box's clips. The reason why I put it at the center is because at the center of the box, it will receive the least amount of pressure.

My clips are at the center of the box cry.gif

To test the FS improvement, my OBD2 reader can read 0-60, 0-100 etc time. Also, it can derive HP and torque without dyno from engine statistics.

May not be very accurate but does provide comparison. Dares's car is compatible with my OBD2 reader. I don't feel like trying yet, at least until next service.

Gear jerks are stronger in my Persona 4AT on normal cruising drive. There's the pullback effect everytime it changes gear.

about the sticker, I just got some sticker done by someone doing it in automotive garage.
the OBD2 reader is goodie.
hmm, gear jerks stronger??
even on petrol??
seems a bit of a hit to me now.

should have no effect on wear and tear on the iridium plug.

Gear jerk is good, I like that kick. brows.gif

It won't jerk if acceleration is continuous. Noticeable if being very light on the pedal after a mild acceleration. The reason, with FS, the gear shifts up faster than usual.

Yup, Bro...there will alwaz be plusses & minuses in everything we do in Life. True?
The importance is we are happy with wat we do get, right?  nod.gif

With the advantages, the setback is fine. I will still strongly recommend to get the firestorm. Effortless acceleration on the slope, even with NGV. Doesn't feel like NGV at all.

If you can, I don't think I can't. Engine mounting should be similar/identical.

I am contemplating, should I BOT. I'm putting risk to break my engine if I do.

oh.... thanks..

all the while i tot both accelerate at same rate and the difference is just L is capped at low gear ... D is full gear

Applicable for conventional 4AT. CVT is single continuous gear, which its ratio is changed by belt.

Nak tanya, can we put in Preve CFE's intake manifold onto our IAFM engine?

If yes, then I can proceed with half cut TD04/05 and cheap turbo exhaust manifold
