Well, it's about that time to replace the plugs. I'm at 131k and I had all the plugs changed at ~30k thanks to the TSB about #4 cylinder plug torque issues a while back.

So those of you who have already changed plugs do you recommend the factory plugs or something else for better response? Also, do you recommend stock plug gap or something else?

 

oem ngk stock gap stock everything...stock search

 

Nothing wrong with stock NGK's

 

just dont go with any bosch +(somethings) the +2 and +4 are the worst plugs in the world.

 

the stock plugs are ngk platinums, i upgraded to the iridium ngk. it actually runs better now, i like it with the new plugs. but yes, i agree, i tried the bosch platinum/iridium fusion +4, and i burnt all 4 plugs in about 2 months, and the car ran like crap... DO NOT BUY THE BOSCH PLUGS

 

they are not even pre gapped

anything from bosch on a japanese car is problem down the road, hell vw don't even use them for sparkplug now, they use NGK

 

oem

 

Changed mine at 105k

 

my car had denso iridiums in it when i got it....ran ok till i blew out the #4 cyl. during autox....but I blew the engine not just the plug.....I will be getting the NGK iridiums this weekend for the new engine

 

How the hell did you blow out #4 cyl? Was it due to the plug torque issue?
