Geforce Neutral Newbie August 30, 2006 Share August 30, 2006 If I replace my ride's plugs with performance spark plugs such as NGK or Denso without changing the "sotong-chiu" aka power cables, will there be any difference in performance? Thanks. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear August 30, 2006 Share August 30, 2006 No difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vass Neutral Newbie August 31, 2006 Share August 31, 2006 What about if change to those so called high performance cable but use back normal s/plug ? wud it make any diff ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear August 31, 2006 Share August 31, 2006 No difference. What really counts in spark performance is your coil system. The sotong head type is ok. The coil on plug or DIS systems are damn powerful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeobh 4th Gear August 31, 2006 Share August 31, 2006 Performance cables are designed to allow the lest amount of high kilovolt drop from coil to plug.For example the HT coil maybe producing 30kv and if you have a high resistance cable, by the time it reaches the plug , the available KV maybe in the region of 15.Most of the performance cables have external covering make from silicon in order to within higher engine temp.

Linus Clutched September 1, 2006 Share September 1, 2006 damnz.. should have stock up those double plat NGKs from Vtim.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfenstar 3rd Gear September 1, 2006 Share September 1, 2006 actually there will be a difference... in terms of spark strength... silver is the best, followed by copper (and i'm not talking abt the nickle plated copper types that most ppl manufacture), platinum followed by irridium. Forget the hype that platinum and irridium etc are better for performance. they just last longer. Cables help more though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie47 1st Gear September 2, 2006 Share September 2, 2006 Just search on the web for "coil-on-plug" and "distributorless ignition system". You might want to read up on "wasted spark" as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
