Denso vs NGK spark plugs

Denso vs NGK spark plugs

Postby solarashow » Mon Jul 07, 2008 6:54 am

Hey guys I need to change my spark plugs but I'm not sure which one to get.

I searched and found out about the Pulstar plugs being too expensive for what its worth. I think most have the Denso Ik20 or the NGKs...but I'm not sure which one of those to get..

I have a 00 V6 solara stock and it's auto

I like NGK iridium IX (BKR6EIX-11) plugs they run about 7 dollars each at your local advance auto parts. They perform well and last a long time.

If you want OEM go with denso double tips or NGK Multi-ground plugs (BKR6EKPB-11) They run about 12 each.

Honestly it really does not matter much as long as you get a quality plug they are all very similar.

My desno's are great, although I'm running IK22's, I'm definitely going to get another set when it's time to change the oil in the SC. I've had them on for around 60k miles

I had factory denso double tips untill 100k but they were crazy worn when they came out. Then I went to bosch double tips they ran like ass so I went to NGK iridium IX plugs after 5k miles and used them for about 55k miles. Recently I replaced my knock sensors and had the manifold off so I put new IX plugs in. The old plugs still looked fairly good but it was worth installing new ones while the manifold was off and it was easy.
