The title says it all. So what do you guys think? Would it make a noticeable difference at all? I figured it so cheap so why not.

 

t think it will really make a difference but hey go for it.

 

i changed mine out at 35k miles to denso iridiums...my mpg went up which is always a plus...

 

How many miles do you have on the car?

 

I went with ZEX 2 step colder, I also have NOS thats why I upgraded the plugs. but to be honest I dont use the NOS often and the plugs have been on the car for 7k miles and running strong so far.

There is no noticeable difference when you change the plugs

 

I've got about 25K miles on my car so far. So are plugs a waste of money if my car is NA? or would it still help? I dont plan on going F/I or Nos.

 

plugs will help...

 

at 25K I'd save your money

 

If the car has 25,000 miles and runs well, leave the sparkplugs alone.

 

get good performance plugs, every little helps...
and of course get grounding wires too

 

BTW who sells Dinso Iridiums.

 

i got ngk iridium 5s... should have gone for 6s.

 

what the different between 5s and 6s?

 

stock cars got 5's. The number indicates the heat range. Higher the number, colder the engine runs.

 

oh, so the 6s also called "cold plug" or 1 step colder something ???

Unless you have SUPER high compression or SUPER high boost, stick to stock heat range

 

if you push your car hard, 6's might be better than 5's..

as long as they do not miss fire, colder plugs should be better for ur engine as well..

The main reason why i regret getting iridium 5's is because my platinum was in good condition, and i knew they were in good condition before buying the iridiums. I got 5's and regapped it to 1.1mm. Since its getting hot here, 6's couldve been a better choice. Even service manual recommends 6's for hard driven cars.. so yeah

 

you've got to explain this one to me......

 

i have the ngk lfr5aix-11 iridium ix plugs, the car runs a lot smoother with em. you can find them cheap on e-bay.

 

it will simply cool the cylinder temperature and plug temperature down. If the temperature goes up or down too much out of the optimum heat range you risk miss-firing the fuel mixture. This depends on motors but 5 is a HOT type. 90% of turbo or high compression cars from japan use heat range of 6 stock standard, and many NA cars with high compression (s2k, prelude types, etc) or high boost above 1bar run 7 even 8 in some cases.

What I found is that my stock platinum plugs were overheating at times, i could tell by reading the colour of the tip after i pulled it.
