Wira update

I don't know since when,my car cabin can smell petrol scent

Driving everything is ok,just after I park my car for a period of time when I go inside my car the petrol smell is there.

Is that any possible something might leak?

the petrol tank has a ventilation outlet, just check to see if there's a leak or tear there. Also check your fuel filter, when was the last time you changed that?

Very short period of time only la.. can't be the filter. You better check your fuel tank ventilation hose. Just open the fuel cover and trace that hose to the tank. See if it's leaking or not or cracked.

normal la. All the shipping ports are in KL, then from port klang (mostly) move to JB or Pg.. sure more expensive lor.

Or does Jb have a shipping port too?

JB have port but the importers are all in PJ/KL thus the goods comes to Port Klang.......lol

Its not about Honda.
Its about the type of plugs ( not brand or iridium/platinum ).
What i observed is that modern car have slimmer plugs like the laser iridium used in camro cfe engine. It cost much2 more than the bigger type used on older cars.

wait...is yours idsi engine or vtec?

I vtec type

 

[gunnerzz]

I vtec type

Ok, then i bet its using the slim design plugs. check online how much the price, its been very2 long since i use Iridium.
I got mine (for campro) for just slightly more than Platinum that time.
Iridium is much2 more expensive than Platinum but for me its not worth the extra cost.

I was thinking to get the SGT 3X spark plug
Cost around Rm100 something
The one I say was like laser iridium I think normal iridium should be more cheaper.

What is the difference btw?
Iridium & Laser iridium

Iridium & Laser iridium

on a stock engine, almost no difference.
Iridium last longer than platinum and if not mistaken laser iridium last slightly longer than iridium.

from my experience using platinum and iridium on stock engine i can confirmed that platinum give smoother engine feeling over stock normal plugs. However i could not feel any difference between iridium and platinum. so, my logic will be if its hard to change your plugs like in a perdana V6 or idsi engine? then iridium might be worth it as u save labour cost in the long run.

Ok, because the car I bought until now haven't change the spark plug and the mileage is coming to 100k soon So I was thinking to change it on the next service.

My jazz juz some mild mod only.
Juz header,downpipe,mid bullet and a s flow
Works filter thats it.
Was planning to get a K20 coil pack & a 55mm throttle body and a ecu remap and I am done for the car. Haha haha

Uh.... why? Bigger spark and more air but your fueling enough ah? Whats your stock TB size? Too large and you'll have problems driving on low throttle input.

Wait... downpipe? You got a turbo?

edit - oh you bypassed catcon? How'd you resolve the O2 situation

Stock is 50mm so up to 55mm is ok.
For the coil pack part need to research more (remap might help?

No lah because for Jazz have 2 section
The Header & downpipe Not the turbo down pipe
Haha haha ha

I wouldn't bother with the coil pack la. Unless you want to buy new? Used one you don't know how much life left in them and there's two types of K20 coils, both of which are expensive. If you insist on changing COP, consider the 1NZ (Vios) one. It's much cheaper and plenty of available stock.

A remap even without a COP change will make a difference and then depending on the age of your stock COP, even a brand new Jazz COP swap will make a difference if the old one is worn out (maybe past 200k km?) My Myvi made a difference after I changed the COP out to OEM coils after 10 years of using this Myvi and 200k++ km mileage.

Haha haha ha

Ya, downpipe is from the header to the catcon. You removed the catcon?

I think u should compare the price of platinum and iridium before u decide.
I will go for platinum as i will diy the job and its very friendly to my pocket. removing the intake (if required) is a simple job which i can handle thus labor cost is 0 for me.

Not same price? I bought the slimmer type for my tiggo, Platinum type RM45 , the bigger type for VR also RM45 last time....
