[QUOTE="donCityZ, post: 1412458, member: 22885"] GUYS... JUST DID A LOT OF READING. My conclusion is: Dont waste money on changing to those low resistance plug cables. Plug cables are servicable parts.. mean u must change regularly also. Maybe every 50k~80k.. not sure. Most plug cable say they increase hp la what la.. actually tests hv been done, they DO NOT increase ANY HP AT ALL. But u can feel it right? Why? It is bcos ur prev cable oledi deteriorate. So u merely restore the lost power. U can get same effect if u change standard plug cable into brand new one. Same like when u just svc.. new oil.. feel power right? Normal spark at plugs will burn fuel+air mixture the same way as a bigger spark. there will be NO residue fuel+air mixture after sparking! U can try this.. put ur cooking gas in equally sized plastic bags, one u burn it with matches, another u burn it with cigarrettes. The fire is same size right? The only hp u can gain is by increasing fuel+air mixture. example: Increase air flow. (chg to those high flow air filter) or Super/Turbocharge it. Increase fuel intake (or course) (chg bigger cc fuel injector). Piping.. etc.. Digress.. When u chg low resistance cable, sure spark is bigger... but it will cause interference to ur electronics.. and ECU! and will cause misfiring and eventually Lost Power. If you want to change cable, I recommend the stock cable. Brand new. My friend and I also experience by testing a few plug cables. For me, I bought Taiwan 9.5mm plug cable put to my prev wira 1.3. I felt power increase.. but then when ON the radio, I heard noises. I used it for 1 year plus... then I wanted to sell the car. So I took the cable out and I bought ori Wira plug cables and to my surprise, it felt MORE POWER than the 9.5mm one!!!.... My friend even bought NGK Power Cables.. cost RM300++.. after he use for half year.. then he tried chg to his old stock cable again.... NO DIFFERENCE!... My advice is if u want to chg cable, and dowan the stock one, better find a cable that can LAST LONGER and keep its quality to conduct the sparking for long time... What U THINK? [/QUOTE]
