Ok i bought Denso Platinum IK20's. Will those work or do i need 22s?

by **JavaJoe_2** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 7:52 pm

20's for stock/modified.
22's for s/c'd.

Goddamnit, I knew i shouldnt have trusted those fuckers at autozone. Will the 20's work for the supercharger?

by **JavaJoe_2** » Sun Mar 26, 2006 8:14 pm

20's would work.
But you want the 22's.
Take them back and exchange them.
I did the same thing. :roll:

Anyone want to buy some IK20's NIB $50 shipped.

I found this posting on another thread by Jim@foreignaffairs

They didn't have more that a couple thousand miles on them before the first one went, and when the second one stopped sparking I began looking for a better alternative. Luckily each of the failed ones were easy to get to without the removal of the S/C: 2-4-5. Well I found what I believe is the better alternative. These plugs are used in the late model BMW "M" cars. They are an NGK Platinum plug with 4 cathodes (sometimes refered to incorrectly as ground electrodes). Anyway, I have had them in for quite some time now with no failure and they feel at least as good power-wise as a new set of Denso Iridiums. Part number is: BKR6EQUP (Stock number 3199). You might want to give them a try. Because they have multple cathodes, they also solve the question of using a multiple cathode platinum plug as recommended by Toyota.

I also found the NGKs were cheaper than the Denso Iridiums.
Hope that helps.

thats interesting, Anyone else have experience with the NGKs jim used? I'm about to supercharge in a month or so, it would be nice to know for sure what to get. If the ngks are fine I'll go with them, much cheaper.

The SuperSolara continues to run great with the NGK's. Much better than the Iridiums. They might not sound as sexy as an Iridium, but they work a lot better and that's all that matters to me.

can you run nitrous with those as well?

The NGK's will work better with Nitrous than the ND Iridium.

how would a dealer or a general auto shop charge for changing spark plugs? and the wires?

probably like $150 just to remove the supercharger in order to change the plugs. actual changing of the plugs shouldn't cost much.

by **imtweakinit** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 3:36 pm

i changed my plugs and wires with out a problem and it didnt even take a 1/2 hour let me tell ya i was amazed at how easily things went after reading the problems and time it took other people
