Evo 9 Spark Plug List, Also how to read plugs.
How strange.... I just got a new 2.3L block from Slowboy racing and they are strongly suggesting I use NGK BPR8ES. I would think they know what they are talking about.
For a Evo 9 head you need to use a Evo 9 plug , for a Evo 8 head, you need to use a Evo 8 plug.

BPR8ES, BR8ES, BPR7ES, BR7ES are Evo 8 plugs
For the 9, Denso IKH24 are a step colder, IKH22 are stock heat range.

make sure u get the right plugs, the evo 9 plugs are longer and evo8 plugs are shorter,
i put in 8 plugs in my 9 MIVEC, and it didnt reach to spark, horrible misfire

I got in the habbit of looking at the size of the plugs... The hex needs to be 5/8 ... and not 13/16. After that you can look at the length of the plug and electrode portion. But if you go on to the spark plugs.com site and type in the Denso plug number, it gives you a listing of all of the plugs and their heat range. IKH24 is 1 step colder, 27 2 steps etc... Also lists the NGK plugs.
Here is application charts for Evo 8, Evo 9 and Evo 10 spark plugs. I got it from briskracing.com. I have them in my car and they work great. Before I ran the NGK R7437-8 spark plugs and I got tired of paying 140 bucks a set. The one's I bought from Brisk cost less and have already lasted much longer than the NGK's I was using before.
