ok so i need to get some new spark plugs for when i boost.. ngk BKR7EIX irridium plugs are the way to go... i just need to know which of these i need..

the reason im looking on ebay is because of the price! haha under $30 is better than $45 on speedcorps.com

 

No don't get iridiums! Get the NGK V-Power BKR7E. Colder plug the better when turbo'd.

And they are cheap, about $2.50 a plug.

 

ok ill check those out.

 

so do you mean these then? i already have these plugs too..

ok.. so why are the ones better than be iridium plugs that speedcorps sells? the insist that the iridiums are better for turbo'd cars..

 

Iridium is a hotter plug so it will have a chance of causing pre-ignition. For any forced induction it is best to go 1 step colder or 2.

 

Just get them at any parts store, preferably Napa. Ask for NGK BKR7E and don't give them any more info because they are stupid and don't know what it is. If they ask for your vehicle just ask if they have that plug in stock, if they do great if not then next.

 

ok kool.. ill just stick with the ngk's i have now.. thanks guys

 

or tell them its an ngk 1283. most parts stores go by that number for sale and for looking up. the bkr7e-11 only tells you what the plug is made of and what it does. yes you can sell them that way as well, but ive seen more and same way i do it at work is by the 4 digit number code.

I gave them the part code and for some reason it doesn't exist anymore. They were going to sell me another NGK plug. So I said specifically NGK BKR7E and walked out a happy camper.

 

hmm thy may have changed it. i got mine in today from special order from where i work. ill look at them tomorrow

 

ya they did change it. for the bkr7e-11 its a 5791 plug

Yea I think that's what the guy told me.

 

I've been using those for over a year with great results.
