spark plugs

[TonysS13]

hey im installing a turbo kit soon on my 90 240sx and was wondering what kind of plugs should i use ??
ngk ?? magnacore???

[Tuck&Poke]

well theres bosch theyre good and of the two you selected iive only heard of ngk and i know theyre good

[gh6o6]

yeah platnum +4 plugs are like $5 dollars each but they are nice

DENSO iridiums baby.... pretty expensive but they are damn tight.... i got Bosch Platinum 4+ though.... those are good too.

how putting magnecor really throws me off cuz they dont make spark plugs..they make the wires if u are talking about spark plug wires then magnecor kv-85(8.5mm) r great i also recommend the magnecor r-100(10mm) wires

now if u are taling about plugs herez the basics:
1. copper is the best conductor of electricity, better then platunium and iridium.
2. the reason platium for is better then copper is that it is a harder element, u'll notice that u can get a thinner tip on it, which makes it have a great space to make a bigger spark, the bosch platium +4 takes this idea and adds 4 pathways not just one so u get 4 sparks.
3. the iridium also uses this idea, iridum is not only harder then platium no a smaller electrod can be make it is also slightly more radioactive (all things r radioactive, dont freak out) they r also $$$$$

so in the end i recommend getting the bosch platium +4 cuz opf the proce and performance....i added all that shit so he can think for himself in the future...not just "yay its better cuz i said so" <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

Be careful with the Boch plugs. They're known not to work well in some setups, but great in others. I remember reading about a few people having problems in a 240 with them, but for other people they worked great. I think the best thing to do, would be to try a couple different kind of plugs and see which works best for you.

for plugs, I'm going either NGK (factory) or Denso. I hear the platinum 4 gets too hot for some applications? ( like the e30 BMWs).

And for wires, do i need to get expensive stuff like vitek or magnecore? I was thinking just getting NGK, seems to be well made and relatively cheap.

Check out www.torquemaster.com &nbsp; &nbsp; I,m using them and consider them exellent. &nbsp; Paid 12.50 each and worth every penny

You don't need an expensive plug. &nbsp;Platinum doesn't actually spark as well as Copper. &nbsp;You don't need platinum. &nbsp;fPlatinum is used to extend life, not spark better. &nbsp;If your N/A the NGK's are the best for our cars. &nbsp;I use the NGK V-Power plug. &nbsp;

The bocsh +4 will work, but actual performance of the plug is not up to par. &nbsp;It's createde to last a long time, not be a performance plug. &nbsp;It even supress the flame from the spark to some degree because the prongs are in the way.

Go with NGK. &nbsp;Will spark as good or better than any of the expensive plugs out there and they're only $1.89

The platinums, and Iridium plugs out there are nice for a turbo setup but are NOT necessary for N/A. &nbsp;

Also remember if you're tuned you might want a colder plug.. &nbsp;I believe its one colder for ever 70 hp oveer stock? &nbsp;so ours stock is a 5. &nbsp;If you put down 200 whp you would need to go to a 6. so on and so forth.

do sr20's take different sparkplugs than our ka's i know it sounds dumb.. probably do, but i've been wanting to buy a good spark plug and wire set, but i'm not spending anymore money till i get my sr20. i'm almost there, also where can i get spark plug set for sr's.. i know theres not that big of aftermarket support for those beasts..

[wherezmytofu]

no the sr20det uses direct ignition = no spark plug wires, just ignition coils
sr20de uses spark plug wires tho <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[sykikchimp]

yes the Sr's take different plugs. &nbsp;And you can get high performance Coil's.
