I have a 2002 Ralliart that I just got and so far I really like it. Would changing the spark plugs give me any more power? If so what should I get?

 

I'm a fan of NGK's, but everyone has there opinion on what's the best plug. However, changing your plugs for more hp isn't going to happen...at least anything you'll notice and definitely not any whp.

 

service manual calls for plug changes pretty often on regular NGKs, buy the Iridium ones for 5x as much money and they should be good for the life of the car.
But you won't notice any HP increase, maybe it'll start a little easier.

 

they had RA in 2002?

My Lancer does start up a little slower than I think it shuold, maybe I should just get a new set of OEMs

 

he must of made a mistake with the 2002 b/c the ralliart just came out last october

 

I tried to find NGK's for my OZ lance, no luck. was forced to go with 4 tipped bosch

 

Its actually a 2002 Lancer OZ Rally Edition

 

so.. gathering from all this.... what kind of spark plugs should we get for our 04 RA?

 

...man, how do you confuse "O-Z Rally" and "Ralliart"....?

O-Z Ralli.....O-R Allia.....nope, I can't do it if I try.

 

he must have thought they made a section for just the OZ-Rally...it is such a cute car and all! I'm very much glad that my girlfriend traded in her OZ-Rally for the Ralliart. Comparing the two is beyond silly.

 

does anyone know what does it meant by 1 degree colder than the stock one on the spark plug? does it really perform a little better? what is the part number for the colder one?

 

a step cooler is the plugs ability to absorb and dissipate heat. if your car isn't knocking now, it won't do anything for performance. a cam change or turbo might need colder plugs as you'll be sucking in more air and make for hotter combustion.

 

The NGK Iridium ones should be fine for the RA. The car comes standard w/ iridium ones though. Its listed in the manual....take a look guys.
