[egshane]

hi guys,


been looking up some info on spark plugs and cant really make any sence of it atal lol.


im buying some ngk leads and spark plugs tonight, but dont really no which ones to go for!

which is the oem ngk ones for ek9
or which ones would be best to get

i will be buying from JP4mance.co.uk - UK Suppliers Of Performance Japanese Tuning Parts

 

[justingoldie]

ngk iridium spark plugs are what I use

NGK BKR7E will work fine. You can buy iridium plugs if you want but there dam expensive compared to the BKR7E's and the only benefit of using them is that they will last longer. The iridium plug code is NKG BKR7EIX if you do feel like using them.

P.S. Put the frog back in you avatar.

Whats wrong with your leads or are you just replacing them for the sake of it ?

P.S. As for the platinum plugs the same again, all they do is last longer.

[Rich777]

OEM leads are the best by the way. I was having a chat with vtec6000 about this the other day. I'll try and find the page i come across the other day about them. I'll PM it to you, you'll find it intresting.

after picking up 5hp on my friends b20 vtec i would not use anything that is not 99 cents ngk

 

[Rich777]

Sorry but something isnt right there. What condition were the old plugs in and what were they ? Were they tested in the same conditions ?

Ok that is very hard to believe.

 

[Rich777]

If the cheap NGK's were a projector style plug there shouldnt of been a difference in them providing they were tested in the exact same conditions. Put it this way, there are people pushing big numbers on turbo setups that run BKR7E's that don't have any problems. If the sparks enough to ignite a dense mixture (boost) then its more than enough for a NA setup.

 

[oscarsayco]

Ok that is very hard to believe.

you dont have to believe me im just saying wich are the plugs that we use on our cars.

Oh I use ngk iridium plugs to but cant say I noticed that difference

 

[Uraco]

The iridium plugs are indeed longer lasting.
Another reason that I thought was that they have a more stable and powerful sparking and will be good during high rpm.
Other then that the normal plugs will do fine.
Especially if you are running an external coil which will already provide a strog and stable sparking.

i went with the ngk iridiums
