Spiro Core "Mag" wire ist Verboten

So, What happens when you use Non O.E. Type wire sets (ie. Spiro-Core)?

1) Highly engineered European Control Systems recognize the incorrect resistance values, and variations of resistance between the Cylinders of Spiro-Core wire sets. The Control System then perceives this deviation from the norm as a problem, and tries to compensate for it. Hence, your car may not run to it’s highest efficiency with Spiro-Core wire and you could also be limiting the life of your Control System because of it’s constant need to overcompensate.

2) Since Spiro-Core wire cannot reach the OHM values or the R.F.I. filtering capabilities specified by European Ignition Systems, the radio, cellular phones or other onboard electronic equipment may be adversely effected.

3) European cars have many systems of microcontrollers that are used in a wide range of vehicle applications involving engine control, convenience and comfort. Each system must meet specific EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) standards, which is dependent upon it’s Capacitance, Inductance and Resistance values. The allowed EMI for each system is designed so that it will work in harmony with every other system. This is critical, cause EMI problems can cause a car’s brakes to lock, gears to automatically shift, airbags to fire, doors to lock or the engine to mysteriously shut down, This is the same phenomenon that affects hospital equipment and aircraft instruments. By changing your ignition cable set to something other than an O.E. type wire set, you are altering the EMI characteristics specified by the manufacturer. This could result in damage due to electromagnetic interference. According to BMW of North America, A specific repair would not be covered under warranty if it were determined that damage was caused by the installation of any non-approved after market component.

3) STI’s resistorized connectors are hermetically sealed with an epoxy resin and then encapsulated with the highest grade silicone. Our connectors are water tight and thermally stable. The standards by which STI’s O.E. type connectors are designed, produced and tested by are as follows;

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) Test
	Temperature Resistance Test Vibration Resistance Test High Voltage Protection Test Oil Resistance Test Corrosion Resistance Test	Temperature Shock Test Voltage Leakage (Salt Water Bath) Test Voltage Interference Test Engage/Disengagement Force to Plug Test Connector to Cable Holding Force Test

Spiro-Core wire sets don’t claim to use O.E. ends and therefore do not have to meet these standards. They use a hollow boot with a terminal that’s crimped on the wire. Therefore, they cannot prevent performance deterioration due to voltage leaks, corrosion, vibration and poor contact like an O.E. type wire set can.

In Summary
Highly engineered ignition systems require components to perform exactly like they were designed to.
For optimum engine performance you can’t do better than
STI’s OEM TYPE WIRE SETS.
