Default Need new spark plugs

OEM replacments from sparkplug.com are $55 shipped...I can only imagine what the dealers around here want.

I wanted to get these NGK's (BKR7E-N-11) Rick recommended me but I called around and I can't find those anywhere. I have no problem getting regular copper tops opposed to the irdiums but I want to make sure I get the right ones.

I've got a test pipe install pending and the sparks need replacing so I'm planning to do the Honda cleaner at the same time before I dyno on the 5th but I need some plugs!

What are you guys running and where did you get them from?

DO NOT GET CHAMPION ANYTHINGS!!!

just heads up. Ask Rick 2 2nrwerks about my champion plugs

Basically when we went to remove them to replace with NGK 7's the plug in number 4 broke in half (not the ceramic part). The threads that hold the plug in seperated from the rest of the plug and was stuck in the engine.

Now, you are probably thinking to yourself "oh, the 6 point "nut" that you use to remove the plug was still attached so just unscrew it, right?" = WRONG!!

Just the sheath that has the threads on it was left in the chanber so we had to use an Easy-out and hope we did not destroy the head....we were successful but I will never...ever....ever,ever,ever,ever,ever,ever
put champions in my car ever again.

NGK's or bust IMHO

Hope this helps


Rick should be able to get you set

We keep a replacement set of NGK in stock for the S2K at a much more affordable $15/set. This uses a new ceramic electrode that is placed lower in the plug an seems to run better. Primo and Alex, forgot Alex's screen name, just got this new plug in their motors last week. We will get an update on the performance from them soon.
I only had these two sets to try out, but more are on the way.

Darius, I will hold a set for you if you like. Reply here or PM me.

Those that Todd are talking about are working quite well. Between those and my recent ECU reset, I have felt a good bit of throttle recovery.

Even single electrode Bosch platinum is a good plug for $1.50 each at Autozone. As long as you stay name brand you're fine as far as quality goes. Denso , NGK, Champion, Bosch, they have all had a failure or two but it is very uncommon and probably caused by a plug that was dropped or damaged after the manufacturing process.
