this is an inherent problem with the heavy car~~
but some one here actually bought a supercharger for the engine...but i think this is an extreme case~~as i believe it voids a lot of warranties~~engine..gearbox...cooling system~~
dun think you want to go there

hahaha..mainland china meh~~~!!

wonder why u guys hate the function so badly..
either way it is just one click ahead to unfold the damn thing~~
jus press is lah bro~~!!

haha there are always smart ass with wrong info given
thanks for the clarification~~

Guys~~i sent my car for the 5k service at Section 13 Service Center this wednesday~~

the Service Agent told me that there is a new version of ECU Mapping just released yesterday (Tuesday) and recommend me to wait an additional 30 minutes for the update...

well im not sure others have problems like this....previously there are some jerking when i drive at slow speed (highly acceptable in my opinion) and the clutch like not engage when stop and go on steep slope...(same goes to reverse up slope when parking)~~

but after the new ECU mapping, the car feels MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE and the jerking is even further reduced (used to jerk mildly for 3 times now...max 1 time)~~up hill acceleration improved significantly....engine break also felt stronger~~

Anyway..the downside is..i noticed the fuel consumption is slightly increased (i always look at the meter for FC changes) i reckon this is a small price to pay for a smoother drive~~

anyway mine is CFE ANCAP~~recommend u guys to update this new ECU Mapping....

Also recommend Sec 13 Service Center...got free white coffee and astro~~plus wifi (i did not use it as i never use up my plan's data)~~service staff is nice and polite....did not recommend me any other weird stuff (except X1R during the 1st service)

Well...if there is a newer version of the mapping.... of coz~~~!!

I think so ohh~~
i am still under the first 3 service within the first year..the service is free...
the problem is they did not put this in my invoice...so i do not know what version it is...
if u are going there for the update...kindly inform us...

the number for the sec13 Service Center is 03-79577427

Wow~~~that product really sux >.<
wonder how many victim they have~~
Please spread the news through Prevoc~~i think a lot of users deserve to know~~

I installed Eric's VS on my Preve~~the most significant difference is the RPM become very steady at low RPM~~no noticeable change in pick up~~maybe becoz the car is new~~
the car's audio does sound better anyway~~just hoping it will extend battery life in a way

same please PM me

anyone has tried that?

my 2 cents towards firestorm is that...preve's iridium plug is very strong (costly as well) and does not need extra boost to the powerful spark...
therefore i dun think adding a firestorm will significantly enhance the performance...

anyway still need some preverian to confirm this

General information about Iridium spark plugs.

Iridium is an extremely hard metallic element, related to platinum, which is thought to occur on earth primarily due to an enormous meteor impact millions of years ago. Other than it's hardness, the main property which makes Iridium attractive as an electrode material for spark plugs is its extremely high melting point (almost 2,500 deg C).

Since late in the 20th century Iridium has been used in alloy form as material of choice for construction of Spark plug and industrial igniter electrodes. Pure Iridium is difficult to work with, very brittle and does not have great electrical conductivity hence alloys are used to give the best combination of these properties. An Iridium alloy electrode is able to deliver good conductivity and extreme hardness. The result is that an Iridium electrode can be manufactured with an extremely small diameter, when compared to a traditional copper or even a platinum tipped electrode, without compromising the useful life of the electrode or spark plug. The narrow diameter concentrates the electrical charge and therefore a much lower voltage is required to jump the spark gap. This is beneficial in several ways:

A lower voltage is required, this reduces load on a vehicle's ignition system (less strain = less chance of failure)
A larger gap can be supported without increasing load on the ignition system (Larger gap = larger spark = more efficient combustion)
A more precise spark every time, delivered in the correct position and with the correct timing (More efficient combustion)

Assuming a suitable Iridium plug is available, benefits you are most likely to see are:

Improved throttle response
Improved economy (though this depends largely on how much you enjoy the improved throttle response!)
Increased plug service life (Depending on design, an Iridium plug could last up to ten times the life of a standard plug with little reduction in efficiency over the plug's lifespan)
Increased engine power (Don't expect to double your horsepower but a 1 - 3% increase is possible)
Improved (reduced) emissions.

Well it is clear that iridium plugs are good enough to stand the extra heat from your super duper ultra kuat firestorm (as i heard that firestorm reduce the life of traditional plug significantly due to extra heat it generates)....but whether is adds additional benefits on the already kuat plug is questionable...

haha glad to know that u are happy with the add on~~
mind to share the experience in details?

coz i also read some where which a guy claim that his plug was toast after a few months of use ~~~cannot recall what car model~~and the discussion goes on recommending him other type of plugs~~

hmm but it is hard to believe 5x stronger spark (as it claims) does not add additional heat~~ possible?

haha i am not an anti salesman either...but below are one of the statement of the user...

vr2turbo:

You ask me ah? I am not an expert leh, so many other sifus around..... blush.gif

As far as I know you may feel smoother acceleration but whether harmful or not you have to find out, but I can contribute the following story.

My mechanic's brother is a technical guy, so following the same theory, he modified and made a module sort of like the one shown to increase the spark. Yes, according to him smoother acceleration, but he melted his spark plugs after running a few km only.....Maybe he over did it, I am not sure, but he took it out and replace the spark plugs..... biggrin.gif

Anyway, there are also theory that mention bigger spark not necessary will complete the burning of the air fuel ratio in the combustion chamber.... sad.gif

original source same as posted on the above...just dunno what his brother modded~~

SOURCE CLICK HERE

Anyway im no expert or engineer~~
what i "heard" is mostly based on what i "read" in this forum (or zerotohundred)~~i think the user who complain (not the above) the product ultimately change his plugs and moved on~~dunno if there are further feedback from him...

as far as i know...car manufacturers take power boosting technology and fuel consumption saving technology very seriously...
if his product is great~~it could be included in our cars of the future

thanks for the update and good luck man

Yeap..appreciate forumers like you who provide a good update~~

Whats that?

hmm so are they willing to take responsible to rectify the problem?
this is what i think most of us concern here

Not really that bad dude~~
