There are quite a few threads about the sparkbridge installation here and there in this forum. I was probably one of the last guys with the OPC latio. After my installation on sunday, I would like to put up some of my comments, but don't know which one and just this post comes in handy to pen my thoughts.

The immediate feeling I experience, psychological or true result, I don't know :
1. Engine feels quieter. Need to further verify as the route to and fro to Toh Guan Centre was different, though exactly opposite direction. Travelling speed - 100 - 110 km/hr (on my way), 90 - 100 km/hr (back home).

2. Could feel more responsive. Before the installation, it is natural to reduce the speed when approaching a 90 deg bend, and could feel loss of power when trying to regain the speed by pressing the pedal. After installation, the response time is faster, meaning the time taken to regain the speed is quicker, loss of power is lesser.

Thanks Isaac for the good work. I would definitely like to deal with you again if opportunity arises.

I am the guy with the red OPC on sunday. Nice to have talked to foofam77 and the guy with the black latio 

Here's my report:
Speed gauge swing from 20 - 40Km/h is much faster on flat roads
Engaging slopes:
- bartley road KPE exit going up the Kaki Bukit Viaduct is much smoother now
- up slope on the ECP Benjamin Sheares Bridge (towards Changi Airport) is slightly better in that I need not rev up past 2500rpm to hit 50km/h

I used to get the occasional jerk from stop to go where the meter hits 2500rpm and goes down to 1500rpm. Haven't seen that for awhile since Sunday.

Thanks vypez for highlighting the corrosion on the batt - will take this up with TC on my 10k servicing. Overall, a good and simple mod!

Did the installation by bro vypez on 6 Jul session, I guess I was the third car? Two other white latio sedans were there before me.

Anyway, felt 2 things so far, speed increases faster like galatica mentioned. And when I floor the accelerator, can feel the speed kick in slightly faster.

  i was there bro one of the whity lation....totally agree on the responsive pick up man 

[byrion]

i agree... did the sparkbridge last Sunday and ride is more responsive now...

Hi Guys,

I believe most of those who signed up for sparkbridge have gotten it done, felt the results(definately not all in a state of mind) and are probably satisfied with it(hopefully).

I am gunning to end this installation with about 9 pending cases(contacted me, but no time to come install according to my timings), so this is basically the last session.. =]

For all that have installed, i hope you are happy with it, and do look for me if there are any issues, I will gladly rectify it for you if possible.


Cheers guys.

Done the SB by bro vypez on last Sunday.

Frankly speaking, i could not find the difference after driving for few days.When driving upslope,i still need to rev until it down 1 gear and climb the slope on average 2300rpm with speed 60km/h.I did testing by slowly pressing down accelerator while cruising and it is as usual,down gear and speed went up.(That means the responsiveness is not improved)
The only improvement i notice is the engine noise is abit softer.

Bro vypez,could it be the grounding cable not functioning?

no. i will refund you the cash if you dont find it useful.

do give me a call at 91544534.

errrmmm i don't know if its phycological or not,..but when i step on accelerator,.. the car responsiveness is slightly increased,...
but bottomline i think we must not expect a big improvement over a single mod,... but the $30 is well spent in my opinion,...
engine bay is a tad more colourful kekekeke and most importantly met a new friend whom I can talk to with regards to ICE mods
