SPECIAL
SPARK PLUGS AND CABLES FOR FIAT FIRE ENGINE
The
new family of FIRE engines that Fiat has recently introduced for
its Palio models, including the Weekend station wagon and Siena
sedan, carries products that were developed by NGK Brazil. The FIRE
engine, with displacement of 1,242 cm3, 16 valves, 80 hp, and 12
kgf.m of torque, is the most modern engine in production in Brazil.
Fiat
and NGK together adopted a spark plug with reduced dimensions, code
DCPR8E-N, which were in line with the engine's technical advances
and the compact nature of the combustion chamber. The replacement
interval is suggested at 40,000 km, making it very economical for
the owner.
Resistor
ignition cables, also supplied directly to the assembly line, obey
the rigorous specifications of the Fire engine. The major innovation
is in the spark plug terminals, using thermoplastic materials reinforced
with fiberglass for perfect insulation and thermal protection.
All
this is linked to quality and efficiency that characterize NGK products
around the world.
