Spark plug choices...
- Thread starter DanG

"Sports" plugs are just a performance myth. If you have not modified your car much beyond exhaust, filter, ECU etc. then just stick to the same spec plug as what was already in there.
Iridium plugs are good however. They do not improve fuel consumption, but generate a more reliable spark. This will not improve performance, but will last a little longer and be a little kinder to your engine.

I love these plugs
4 electrodes
the thing with Super 4s is that because of all the electrodes it can hamper the flames ability to grow
but, they do have 4 electrodes so its highly likely they will always fire, an they last for ages
im runnin em myself at the moment
oh yea, an NGK R plugs arent a specific type of NGK plug, if its got R printed on the side then all that means is its got a resistor in it
Ive tried almost everything about spark plugs...
bosh, ngk, champion, beru, brisk and a few more I cant remember.
the thing: use the specific ones for your engine. Keep them in good shape.
Spark Plugs wont give you more power!!! thats a fact!!! changing old ones for new ones will give a better rev yes, but thats because the old ones were killing your bhp!!!
If you use N2O, High modified CR, Turboed a non-turbo engine or anything else that wild, then you should be aware of a new type of spark plugs.
how much bhp now? std 140bhp since you got it fixed?
till now, no one has showed that spark pulgs gives more power.
Magnecore leads only gets rid off the electrical interference that could be made by the std (not so good on isolation) leads.
Ecu needs to get clear signal from the engine sensors...
Sorry, read it carefully. I was having problems with ignition and it was only running on three cylinders i.e not much power. I changed to ngks and magnicore and it restored the original power. i was trying to be funny, i guess it didnt work.
The car did feel more responsive though, but that could have been cos i was driving round for ages with old plugs and leads. i also changed to a performance air filter element which probably made a difference.
Ive just bought some standard champion ones the little sticker on the engine block recommends... the ones that came out were shagged...coked up and hardly any electrode left...should be in for a nice surprise when I take it for a spin.
Brun, let me know how you get on with those platinum plugs, might give them a whirl if they prove themselves with you
Gold Palladium mate, not platinum
fitted em an just been out for a blast, no major improvement obviously but i definitely think these are the best plugs i have used and are better than the super 4s i had in previously, a lot more responsive now from starts and gear changes.....
my search for the best plug for my car is over, just buy these from now on
