Around the Car Ignition
Auto Tips September 9th, 2009

production cars today are already equipped with a sophisticated ignition systems. The goal, of course related to fuel efficiency, but without sacrificing performance.
However, the sophistication of the ignition system making it more difficult to manipulate “Manufacturers now have to make ignition system with precision so that fuel consumption more efficient,” explained Taqwa SS, Garden Speed garage owners in West Jakarta.
However, he continued, for daily use, steps to maximize the ignition with standard components to be not so important that a direct ignition system (direct fire) on the cars now rarely touched when will be upgraded.
There are also maximizing the ignition with aftermarket components. ” said Dalvin of CK Motorsport. This can happen if the condition is still the standard engine.
To be spared from the knowledge and habits that one around the ignition, refer to the instructions below.
1. The amount of voltage is not everything
Coil’s ability to produce voltage electric current will make maximum and efficient combustion is true. But most importantly, his time delivery. “Time delivery is required at the time when an electric current flows from the coil to the spark plugs,” Taqwa said. Shorter time, Taqwa said, the better combustion in the engine. For direct-ignition system, its delivery time is very short because the electric current from the coil directly sent to the spark plugs. The indirect system (indirect) still needs a distributor.
2. Do not replace the spark plugs at random
High-performance spark plugs, which targeted characteristics, not much different from the original spark plugs. It’s like restriktor and its heat range. Until missed, work will be disrupted machine. It was so, the price is around Rp 50,000 to Rp 100,000 per unit is not in accordance with the increase in power generated.
3. Use of high coil Performace
For a car engine that had adopted direct-ignition is not the absolute use high performance coil. In addition to exorbitant prices, the ability of the standard coil is sufficient, if the need for daily. Another thing that has been modified to extremes, such as turbo applications. Why, at this stage, the supply of electric current from a standard coil is too small.
4. Volt stabilizer and ground wiring
Use of these two components is not a significant energy boost, but still needs to be used. Its function is to maximize the quality of ignition due to electrical currents in the machine became more stable.
5. Installation of piggyback
Its function is not to mess with setting utak machines, but also can maximize ignition sector. With the use of piggyback, the ignition time can be set as required. Way, promote some degree of ignition time. The effect, should be coupled with fuel consumption of higher quality. If not, the machine can ngelitik
New Honda Odyssey First Half 2010 Appear
Asian Car September 9th, 2009

-In addition to the CR-V, was PT Honda Prospect Motor (HPM) this year also will bring the latest generation Honda Odyssey.
This was stated Marketing & After Sales Director, HPM interrupted Jonfis Fandy Honda New Year event Media Gathering at the Ritz Carlton Pacific Place, Jakarta, Wednesday (3/2/2010).
He said New Honda Odyssey was deliberately re-introduced in Indonesia to target segments of the Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) premium.
“New Honda Odyssey presented to answer the needs of MPV customers premium in Indonesia,” he said.
Unfortunately he did not want to divulge further details about the specifications of the new Odyssey, including the price that would set HPM. “Just wait, we plan to launch Semester 1 this year,” he explained.
Honda Motor Corp.. itself has launched a New Odyssey this last year in Japan. But the HPM as a holder of the Honda brand was not thought to confess the country.
Instead HPM Freed presents approximately June 2009 to target non-premium MPV segment.
Suzuki GSX-R1000 K9
Motor Cycle September 5th, 2009

Suzuki GSX re-introduce the newest series, the R1000 K9. This motor has a new design and new engine is more powerful than its predecessor.
Actually, Suzuki has introduced the GSX-R1000 K9 in Paris, France, September 2008 earlier. And this model looks more than previous versions.
Design “dress” it is now more grooves. Headlights made more broadly with the claimed lighting brighter for night use. Sein lights stuck to the rear view mirror. In addition the tank is no longer 100 percent rounded, but now there are grooves on the sides. In the rear, GSX figure looks more sporting with the all pointed.
Significant changes in the body, would be accompanied by reform of the engine sector. GSX-R series is the latest to use square bore and stroke a wider, ie, 74.5 mm x 57.3 mm. The material used is selected that is titanium lightweight yet strong.
Compression ratio exceeds the standards of any previous GSX series, which now reaches 12,8:1 and 12-hole injector used to regulate the use of fuel consumption over the maximum. All the power is channeled through the Suzuki Advanced Exhaust System with titanium material for a similar sensation MotoGP race.
Besides the engine, chassis updated, too. Suzuki designed the new chassis for the GSX variant is a more rigid and able to devour the corner with stable without causing symptoms despite unsteady driven at high speed. Suzuki also said the party this bike wheelbase is 10 mm shorter than the previous series.
Unfortunately there is no explanation of how prices are set for the Suzuki GSX-R1000 K9 this. We’ll wait the next news
1.3 Million GM Pull Production Unit
Auto News September 5th, 2009

The case seemed to recall not only threaten the Japanese automobile manufacturers, but also the United States (U.S.) alone. After Toyota, now General Motors (GM) also have to attract millions of production units.
USA’s largest automotive companies are required to draw 1.3 million units of production of some models due to power steering problems that have caused accidents and 14 cases took one victim.
Traffic Agency U.S. (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA) has conducted an investigation into the Chevrolet Cobalt 905,000 units in the U.S. because of the 1100 complaints the owner of this car because the steering system problems.
Therefore, NHTSA asked GM pulled back the Chevrolet Cobalt 2005-2010 Pontiac G5 production is sold in the United States, 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit lansiran sold in Canada, and the Pontiac G4 porduksi released for the 2005-2006 Mexican market.
But GM’s own party claimed power steering system problems can still be controlled when driving at 24 km / hour. In addition, if the problem occurs steering system there would be a warning light and alarm sound.
“I have been to deepen the investigation and we see this likely to occur in models that are not within the warranty period,” said GM Vice President Quality, Jamie Hresko,
