hi,i'm newbie here.may i know which one better ,ngk or ultra cable plug for my stock bt engine.
 
Nology is not thebest la.. its just hype.
independent test also proved there is no gain, and in some cars end up
losing hp.

malaysians are just too stuck up to believe otherwise. im sure after my post
many will come lashing out bla bla bla.

You have to understand how a plug cable works in order to know which will
be the best.

If you want my opinion, NGK is better than stock. Things to look for in plug cable is good silicon compound in the insulation. Don;t look for the thickness of the wire, coz that just increase electromagnetic interference. Thickness doesn't help, because conduction in plug cables happened not inside the wire, but instead it is happening by a phenomenon called surface effect. This is true for all high voltage high speed sparking.. A perfect analogy is the lightning striking the airplane's Faraday's cage. It conducts on the surface, thus the people inside is safe.

But sure, later jinkl and his bozo clowns troops will come and say otherwise.. u just waithaha

In my previous posting long time ago:

[NGK Power]
- Resistance below 1 ohm.
- Each cable has different in resistance (shorter cable has lower resistance).
- Cable's thickness is similar to stock. Good EMI suppression.

[Ultra Power]
- Resistance at 2.5k ohm.
- Each cable has same resistance thus deliver similar spark energy to each cylinder.
- Cable thickness is thicker than stock. Good EMI supression.

Never use China/Taiwan made plug cable. They used cheap but very thick (>8mm) insulation material that cannot supress the EMI from the spark. You will just end up driving with noise in your radio.

Power increase? Cannot feel so far :biggrin:

any 1 try T.M.Works Plug cable before ?

thanks for advised
 
If want to divide by class:

China made - Class F
OEM - Class D
NGK, TRD, Nismo, Mugen, BOSCH, Rally art, Mazda Speed, Sumitomo, and etc - Class C
Ultra, Splitfire, RE, JS, & Etc - Class B
Nology, and alot of US brand - Class A


But among the aftermarket plug cable and OEM plug cable, I also can't feel any differential too...
Maybe just a litttttttttttttttttttttttttlllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit only kua...

so bad,.. the TM works not in the class also ... hahahahha
 
I think lets focus back to thread starters question. I believe stock plug cable should be sufficient for stock engine. Unless, if you've changed to better spark plugs (iridiums), I don't see any reason for changing the plug cables... unless you are going for a cosmetic gain. Regardless, both aftermarket plug cables are made of silicon, which should outlast your stock cords in terms of durability. Performance wise, you wouldn't feel any difference between the two ;)
 
Why waste money on colored cables when you can buy parts that actually work better :rolleyes: ?

Think about it this way:

Your engine is a cigarette, your spark plug cables is a lighter.

You now want to smoke an udang garam cig but use ZIPPO lighter, it still does the same funtion as a 7-11 one but no difference :biggrin:

Should change the cigs first, THEN the lighter as a finishing touch :driver:

Hahaha I suggest save the $$ and buy some other mod that you can actually feel...
 
i'm using sun auto's inazma, any ppl know this brand?

that is Nology la...
Nology is under Sun Auto le....

aiyo.. said until no value of aftermarket plug cable...
There have some increasing and use too man or else they will never develop such an useless item la... But increasing won't be that much also.:rofl:

Walao eh sifu, it really make sense when you talk about cigar & zippo...:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Big fire of zippo but gudang garam burning slowly...:rofl::rofl::rofl:


Anyway, i think if better spark plug plus better cable should do more mileage & save fuel~ Not gain more power.. :biggrin::biggrin:
 
Actually, most of the branded after market maker claim that their plug cable can deliver stronger spark at the spark plug compare to stock's. They can even show it on their demo. However, does it improve hp? Theorithically, yes. Practically... some was able confirm it by dyno chart which is, only very very small increase in %. If your are running a high hp engine, small % can become a 5hp. But if you are running SVT/BT, then small % can be "ignoring figure" from sciencetific calculation point of view :biggrin::biggrin:

True...thats why i use stock plug cable...coz i dont want high horsepower,hehe
 
hmmm, how big/strong the spark depends on your spark plug and not to mention your coil as well. If your coil can't produce enough voltage to ignite the plugs, what's the use if u change to a super-expensive-high-performance plug cable? this is just my layman's theory, not sure whether it's true or not... don't shoot me :rolleyes:

bigger sparks = better combustion = more hp but i don't think u can feel it at all the hp u gained. maybe u can notice in dyno charts but obviously not when u are driving it. some engines will respond or idle better because of a more stable electricity flow, i think.
 
I really really doubt its going to give you any sort of power on the dyno... Power on the crank I can belive but on wheel~~~ Not so :P

How much power can you get out of a stock engine anyway? Youre engine isnt breathing as much as it possibly can... Its just burning the fuel more thoroughly lah :biggrin:

Oh but it does look nice, I can vouch for that muahahaha :driver:

Believe crank HP?? any use to believe crank HP?:confused:
On wheel HP only the standard measurement to see how powerful of that car la! Crank HP only for factory decoration only la...

Stock engine won't give much, but still depend what engine u using it too la! Every engine not having the same HP too la, some produce small power and some do produced an high power le... :rofl::rofl::rofl:
