NGK Plugs (MSP)

[122 Vega]

Anyone using the colder NGK plugs? I remember someone talking about them, but any update? Would they have any effect on a stock MSP?

I remember on my Dak R/T, that was one of the first mods we did,,

Thanks,

Britt

I`m currently using NGK copper plugs. Had them in for well over two weeks now, and w/ the desert heat out here in Vegas, the engine seems to run allot smoother than it used to.

change them if you wanna up the boost.

better be safe than sorry.

I have the colder plugs. Usually boost around 15psi on 93 pump gas.

15psi?! No detonation? I'm barely pushing 13 right now for fear of blowing stuff up.

 

[Kenetix]

Yup 15. I'll get some pics of the boost gauge in the car hitting 15 somtime.

you see?

get 8grade plugs!!! I have V-8 power NGKs

Thanks for the replies, but I was asking if they would make an appreciable effect on a stock boost MSP. I am not planning on upping the boost anytime soon,

The only reason to get colder plugs is detonation. If you don't have a problem (or higher boost) then you won't see any advantage to colder plugs.

Get ready for a gas mileage drop if you use colder plugs with the proper gapping.

what gap do you have them at? i have mine gapped at .030 and i am running about 11psi spiking 15psi.

what do you spike to even out to 15psi?

What Part Number are the colder NGK Plugs?

Did you install ( Sparkco ) performance wires yet???

 

[Kenetix]

I have mine gapped at .32 and I run a steady 15-16 psi. No, I havent gotten wires yet sparkco man.

 

[sparkcoTech]

Well, about time to give us a try!

I have the NGK copper plugs, and they seem fine...haven't noticed the drop in gas mileage, but I guess it's there..I wonder how much of hit it is on the gas mileage. And mine were gapped by the tech to the stock configurations. I haven't been able to up the boost yet because I think my dealer adjusted my wastegate or something, because w/ my mbc turned up, it will not boost over stock level...So hopefully when I can up the boost a bit, the spark plugs will prevent detonation. I was starting to detonate at 8-9 psi on 91 octane and the hotter platinum plugs...
