You couldn't pay me enough money to put them in my car. Besides, I'm running 2 steps colder than stock and it's NGK only for me.

I know that they're making more power because they did, the car was faster after instalation, don't always need a dyno for that. maybe the stocks ones were going or dirty, but It really made a small difference.

I'll post after I do a clutch job

Try it in your car....LOL
You are such a idiot. Please, please do a back to back dyno and post it up with these plugs so we can see how much HP you gained.



Also, be a man and post up when a plug breaks and takes your motor with it.

haha German engineering is that the greatest.. vw and their cheapy plastic interiors which all breaks .. POS.. uses torx for everything and they get rounded all the time.. haha wat a joke. .and the wheel studs are done to where if u cross thread them.. you end up having to get new rotors.. hahaha.. good luck with the way Germans way of thinking about those plugs

you didnt get more power after those plugs were installed because you only got back some of what you lose due to those old plugs

what kinda of tech are you.. did you even listen to everyones comments or just pick and choose.. cuz clutch was suggested and also on how to test to see if it is still good.. guess you dont even know how to do that..

4 tips means more weight.. get rid of them haha.. and you have no proof that 4 tips are better.. besides.. oem plugs should always be used.. why dont you just switch everything over to what germans use in a honda.. or better yet... get a german car.. and quit posting here


and afwfjustin .. you are using colder plugs cuz your running turbo... just to clear things up so some random person dont go out and get your plugs thinking colder is better..

don't know if it was mentioned, but you may need a valve adjustment, loss of power is a common side effect of loose valves.

I added 19"s from the M6, along with 800 pounds of sound deadening to my S2K, and it drives SOOOO much better now.

If people who've rebuilt more S2K engines in their life than you've ever seen S2Ks tell you it's a good idea to use stock pluges, I'd listen. Just a thought.

Heat soak?

I like the OEM NGK's also.
Exactly my thought. He just lost 10 hp from heat soak.

I like how he wants proof to use OEM airbox and spark plugs...
But requires no proof at all to use gimmick spark plugs and stop his intake from getting any cold air.

if I say red, you say no its blue... and relax with the German assault, Audi does win nearly every even in wants... (silver hair) PS; enough with the silly insults... I'll dyno the car after some real mods... 1st will be a new clutch and maybe fly wheel.

and no the previous plugs only had 35k on them, they were fine, but thats OK because all this is from my clutch, the previous owner only had it until 25k, It slips, but it isn't obvious at all. I had to drive an 07 to compare.

Anyhow I got a bigger problems now, I get new dents seems like every day it (from living in the city) need to put up some cams on this 1 way road.

3. Also noticed that the shifts are all much smoother than before (probably because the thing has even less torque now)
Seriously- maybe you're learning how to drive it better/ more smoothly.
