Performance Spark Plugs

[Arr0nUK]

What performance spark plugs does everyone recomend? Fast Road Use.

Thanks

standard. most people who have deviated from this have had problems.

NGK- laser platinum premium (PFR6E-10)

 

[Arr0nUK]

yeah i heard that standard was better but wasnt sure. Plugs need changing ether way so didnt know if it would be worth getting some per4mance ones.

 

[Arr0nUK]

what sort of problems did they have?

 

[Tucker]

misfires, poor performance.

if you have to stay NGK and get the laser iridium.

but you might as well save the money and put it toward something that will actually gain horsepower.

 

[Tucker]

Or beer.

Beer is so much better than spark plugs

if you have a cat, stick to platinums. If you've de-catted, plain old Copper core NGKs (BCPR6ES) are MUCH cheaper and perfectly fine for the job

 

[Tucker]

why's that Danny?

are the platinums kinder to the cat?

 

[sideways danny]

you get a cleaner burn. Nothing you'll notice, but helps protect the cat

I am using Denso Iridium in my 172 cup and Bosch Super 4 in my 182,

not had any problems.

Noticed any difference between the two??

The bosch are about half the price of the Denso's on eBay.

I personally wouldn't even use bosch plugs to block up a hole

Just ordered some too

I think i'll just fit them and see how it goes.

My car feels like its misfiring sometimes, when idling the whole car shakes.

Has anyone seen those Pulse Plugs £25 each :S

Any experience of those Danny??

 

[sideways danny]

I dont do sparkplug hype

 

[Ad172UK]

lol.

How about the shaking car, could it be misfiring or the 'High state of tune NA Engine rough idling' i've been told about??

 

[theduck]

Surely as long as it sparks at the right time, then all is well?

 

[sideways danny]

your plugs are likely well past their best, they normally are WELL before the service interval says to change them

 

[Arran_182]

Stick with the standard plugs, I use to test so called performance spark plugs when i worked for champion spark plugs and its a load of crap they put on the box!!! Unless you have tuned your engine, if you have you could look at a different heat range. otherwise just stick with the standard item

 

[Ad172UK]

Sounds about right.

You saw the state of my Oil :S

I just changed mine for Denso Iridium, not noticed any difference and I didn't put them in for any difference, just a better quality sparkplug - I heard a lot of rave about them in the past in other cars and thought I'd give them a go.

From what I've heard they melt quickly as well.

They didn't solve my missfire problem but that could be down to the oil pissing out the top of the engine down the sparkplug ports.

If I were to buy more - which I probably will in 6 months - I'll probably stick with the NGK's but a decent set like triple spark or platinum or something.
