No, No, No, You guys got it all wrong.

The yellow wires add a ton of hp. Everyone know that the yellow coating is better conductor than black. This allow more current and more power. With those 2 turbos he can't gap the plugs. He has to leave that the factory Bosch setting other wise he will loose all the gains from the yellow wires.

As for injector settings at 1000 rpm... Well I think the the 125 spm is fine for normal car, but since he has two turbos I think he will need much more fuel. Don't want to run lean and blow flames out the back do you. I figure the 1000 rpm setting should be about 223.56 SPM. This accounts for the 1.345 factor for EACH turbo.

Now the tricky part is one you get the idle inject spm setting you need to do it for the entire RPM range. I think it as bit easier on "S" 924's and you only need to do settings at 1000 rpm intervals. These things are smart and can extrapolete in between the rpms.

Not sure what to do for 2k, 3k, 4k or 5k, but 6k may need to be 12434.453 spm for peak efficeienty and power. Make sure you set the injects at each rpm setting with the engine exaclty at that rpm. Other wise "bang" no more motor.

Hey AMAF... Did I mention what Jet Focking Black Ninja Cool thing you do with Armor All and your tires?????

NO!

The size of the wire inside the insulation is the same; 16 gauge. New 7mm OD wires work just as good as new 8mm OD wires.

The key word is "new".

Yellow wires run cooler.

Anyways, I found a true performance trick you can now try Amaf.

Take the wires in their standard positions for 1 and 2. Now swap them. Unbelievable what that does for your engine. I'd try it with mine but my Dad won't let me...

If you put moth ***** in your gas tank it boosts the octane. It boosts it twice as much if you have the yellow wires and 3 times as much if you are smoking crack while driving.

Hahaha,, amaf smokes pole. he loves da ****.

-Spark Plug & Plug Wire Cleaner-

Patented high-tech design allows KaleCo Plug/Wire cleaner to reclaim old spark plugs and wires! Did you know that tune-ups are completely unnecessary? The only reason your car has bad spark is dirt in the plug lines, and build up on the spark plugs! Simply pour this cleaner into your battery, step back, and watch the engine run smoother! Not for use on vehicles equipped with Opti-Spark.

Ron, Are you TRYING to screw people up??? A 4-cycle engine only fires every other stroke so the correct setting would be 125 SPM. The only time you would use the 2-cycle setting (250 SPM) is if you are burning alot of oil.</strong><hr></blockquote>


Sorry, my bad! I knew I should have just kept my mouth shut...

-Hollow Spark Plug Wires-

When cleaning your spark plug wires with KaleCo Spark Cleaner just isn't enough - you need new plug wires! Unique "hollow" design wires allow ignition molecules to flow freely from your distribution point to your motor apex! Why even bother with those metallic spark plug wires? Comes in yellow, red, green, and blue. KaleCo Hollow Wires never need cleaning.

-Extra Retardant Plugs-

Spark plugs are often misunderstood by most people. A spark plug's name is quite literal. They are designed to plug the line - and suppress any spark that may come through. Of course, you know what happens if a spark finds an open fuel source!! That could get ugly! KaleCo extra retardant plugs block 99% of spark, and allow 95% of ignition molecules to pass through. That's 25% more than the competition, and unlike the competition, KaleCo plugs never need cleaning.

You guys make fun of Amaf, but his car could run a lot better with nice new plug wires on it. Also, my understanding is that you don't "gap" the Bosch Platinum 4+ plugs.

Amaf,

Have you inspected your cap + rotor lately? When was the last time that you replaced your air filter? The air filter is supposed to be changed every 6,000 miles. Most people don't because they are jackasses.

No. When in close proximity to yellow, they 'auto' gap.

Do I have to teach everyone?

leave the kid alone.. he has a serious question now and we could at least be respectable rennlist board users and help him out.

I think AMAF meant to say he set the IDLE to 1000.

AMAF, let us know what u need help with..
