SplitFire spark plug cables for my Lanos

i got a gift - again - from Ehab Bob and it was a set of Splitfire twin core 8.0mm spark plug cables


it was one of them sets that you have to cut to your specific lengthens and install the sockets and all so i got a couple of old OEM wire sets and stripped out the rubber caps and the ....l sockets to use them on the SF cables

i got the lengths off the OEM set and installed the rubber caps... it was a hell of a job as the SF cables are thicker so i used oil to lubricate the cables and let the caps slide... i had to use a hot ....l rod to enlarge the hole in the spark plug cap... that was the most exhausting part

after that i installed the ....l sockets... the one at the coil pack was tricky as their is a plastic cylinder were the cable has to go in and the SF is thicker than the OEM... i actually used a flat end screw driver and a hammer to force the damn thing in

last part of the customization was to adjust the position of the ....l socket at the spark plug size, it was an easy job to compare to one of the OEM cable sets... after that i cleaned all the ....l terminals with carb cleaner to get rid of all the oil residue

the installation was super easy... and as far as looks... it is as good as a cable set made for the Lanos and this is what i like the most

now for the test drive... no change whatsoever http://www.daewootech.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif

it seems that them cables are just like the BOSCH super 4 spark plugs and all... the real benefit is the durability and lack of maintenance rather than performance, i was not that much disappointed as it is a gift... but paying 340LE (62USD) for this set with expectations of power gains will be frustrating indeed

I thought so that it will not give performance, if you need gain then you need to install MSD

i don't think this will add power either as long as you are running a N/A engine

the need for high voltage for the spark is due to the air/fuel pressure in the combustion chamber so as long as the pressure is the same then stronger spark will do you no good

if you got forced induction then you are building up pressure in the combustion chamber and that will require a stronger spark

i am not 100% sure of that... it is just my logical thinking regarding the subject

I had MSD in my old Honda, and did find some gain high end, the MSD was in it when I bought the car, as for me I don't think it's worth buying it.

but how come the master of forced induction engines is riding N/A ride ?

congratulation

1- current ride is my only ride... and i can't afford to park the car for a week or so during the installation

2- reliability is top priority since i am a family man now.. can't afford any glitches

you are right ,parking the car for even a day is not a good thing
hope one day you get a plus to tune and enjoy

thanks my man

great job .. while as you said .. it's durability rather than performance, unless your old cables got bad, which a new OEM wolud fix

did you measure the resistance

nope

i thought of that but the 4 wires got different lengths so i will get different readings anyways

also if a wire or more has a problem (high resistance) i would have felt some power loss or hesitation... the car just performs at the same level it did with the OEM wire set
