I have dig all the old thread and still confuse which one good enuf .. some say nology good .. some say not good .. some say spoon and so on ....

Whats the difference between red and blue color ? I'm not looking for high performance meant for track but just enuff giving a better response for daily driving, reliability, and doesnt harm my engine and its parts ... Coz some say nology will make our spark plug easy to kong la ..

Pls comment ... TQ

Refer to the tread - 'modification that don't work' - conclusion is go buy new oem and don't pay additional $$$ for aftermarket as the difference is negligable. 1 person dyno-tested and nology sapped 7 hp i.e. - 7 hp using nology.

I always suspected as I could not feel any difference despite change plug cables for several of my cars (all hondas) including spitfire & ngk.

IMHO,if ur engine is relatively stock...stick 2 OEM..n yes,purchasing brand new OEM will gif u improved performance as u cud b loosing sum power due 2 d wear & tear of d seasoned plug cables.
but as for Nology sapping hp,i beg 2 differ.n too many pages on dat 'modification that don't work' thread,cudn't catch up lar.....
anyway,i sure hope d dyno was carried whr d Nology is brand new or is in good working condition...coz used Nology r quite fame 2 haf intermittent problem..i went thru 2 sets b4 settling on my current Nology whc do really help in high rpm range....n do keep in mind,nology oso got fake 1 ler..hehehehhe

Any comments on Sun Nology and Inadzma Nology ... whats the differ? I know its not helping on HP but settle my jerking prob when changing the gear. Let say I aim for stage 1 mods ... is it performance plug cable helping on response or its just a myth

I aim for new one not used ... Let say between Spoon n Nology which one u prefer?

Speaking of the devil :proud: Mayb u can share ur nology xperience with TS.

The time when i was shopping for plug cables most shops recommend nology - of course-la it is THE MOST XPENSIVE cables + fancy grounding cables attached. But the thought of spending so much $$$ on a questionable mod :stupid:

But when I look at poremen cars, mostly using oem or NGK blue so went with ngk - IMO still waste of $$$

it wasnt on my car sir, i wont waste money on sumthing as expensive in the first place also. it was on a customer's car, we did a run before the nology was installed in, got a reading. then installed the nology, got a reading, depreciated 7hp. aik??!!! owner lagi bengang, 780hengget tu!!! then change back to the original used set, got back dat 7hp, aik??!!!

hahaha, then i started my so-called research on which is the best cable, bang for ur buck. nuthing beats the oem, cheaper and performs better then a set of 700++ cable :chuckle:

no doubt sir, i especially like the bosch cables, but very hard to source out for my 4efte, so i went to custom a set for my engine. i used a set of trd 4efte plugs, and this custom unit is way2 better then a used trd. yeah, yeah.. i heard u, comparing a used unit with a brand-new-outta-the-box, mana adil kan? but when comparing a set of used trd costs around 300 nowadays, which one wud u use sir? id choose the custom made brandless (well, maybe i can rebrand it to XL(XtremeLeo) engineering? lol) everytime

Do u mean the performance plug cable not perform as their advertisement? U say that u custom ur cable ... what is the factor consider to ensure the engine having or sufficient with spark produced ... cable size? material? I just wonder if the plug supply too much, too less or just a correct supply to the engine. Thx for sharing

sorry for the late reply sir

most of them dont, like i always said, marketeer.. i customized my cable because its next to impossible to find a new set of spark plug cable for my engine, so i find a company dat may be able to perform it. it wasnt cheap if i may add, but was well worth it

sizes, material, all contribute to the performance sir, but the main thing is the interference is kept at bay, to keep the voltage level stable, so the outer jacket is the most important part, i think magnecor uses this approach in the cable design. i dont think too much a spark will do any damage to ur engine, not if the tuning is done correctly.

sizes= bigger better..???
not necessarily true sir, although from resistance pov, bigger diameter does decrease the resistance.

most of the cable resistance ive meassured is around 9~20 ohm jer (some of the cap ayam has less resistance then the so-called performance cable :shrug: i dunno?), so dat doesnt contribute much to decrease the level of voltage (in the range of tenth of thousand, usually around 30k volts) transmitted through the cable, but id rather pay much attention to the interference contribute by the cable to its surroundings and most importantly, from the surroundings to the cables.

the main thing is, the outer layer dat is used to avoid radio/ magnetic interference. the inner core uses carbon to cut cost imo, id rather have metal core if i have dat option

Since few people here tested different kind of so called "performance plug", mind to share the name of the cable and the dyno results .. No offence to the seller or supplier but to spend few hundred RM into something that not "perform" as its advertisement ... to me .. not worth it laa ...

At least we know the baseline ... just a crap or what ... THX

Sifu JIN,

By using this set up, can estimate the hp , hehehehehhe?

Engine - Healthy B1CR

Spoon cable + Denso Iri + Ori throttle body + E-manage ultimate + B16b cam + Spoon close gear ratio + Spoon light weight flywheel + Spoon street type clutch + Spoon 4-2-1 Extractor + 2.5 inch piping = ???

hehehehehhehe :driver:

Up till now, there has not been a test drive review of the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX but recent unveiling provided the basic specs and new look of the sedan and hatchback model. At first glance, many have criticized the appearance of the highly acclaimed Impreza but secretly hope that the performance aspect of the car will prove less disappointing. Perhaps one could ‘guesstimate’ from the recently unveiled 2008 WRX sedan and hatchback, what the STi version would look and perform like...
