New NGK plugs for a standard engine?

[Lukey. 381]

ive looked in the parts recommenders and they say BKR5EKUP for a 97. BKR5EKU for before 95?

but some are saying BKR6E or BKR7E or BKR5EIX.

which ones are going to be right? also is the gap supposed to be 0.8mm or 0.7mm as things say both?

or is 0.7mm for pre 95 and 0.8 for after?

cheers

i run these ones... http://www.mister-solutions.co.uk/bkr7e-ngk-spark-plug-153-p.asp

good quality and cheap, had no problems at all and im running a standard engine. they are the same as the expensive ones, they just run one stage colder, but you dont notice it at all... :)

the p at the end of 1st one you put is platinum tip. there are what i have and find much better than non platinum ones.

if you do get the platinum ones the gap is already set as they have 2 electrodes and you can damage the core by trying to change gaps.

only down side is they're around 5quid each.

yea id guesses that the P indicated platinum, which are the ones recommended by NGK, dont these burn out super quick?

Nat if they are 7 arent they 2 stages colder?

mine were all set and ready to go and ive had them in since may and had no issues at all... craig and tony both run them, and ive noticed no difference in temps... if there is then its not a problem...

Yep the FI boys run cooler plugs to compensate for extra temps created.......I need to know what plugs are in the R32 actually

[Lukey. 381]

so if im standard i should really go with the stock temperature? BKR5E? im assuming that BKR5E BKR6E BKR7E are the same plugs just different heat range?

[Lukey. 381]

thanks for the info about the cheaper plugs nat, i decided to go with those ones just with a stock 5 heat rating BKR5E.

seems to be too much about the platinums (and dual electrode in general) being hit and miss on a google search and read for me, ill stick with cheap ass copper and replace them in half the interval.

Now to wait for these, new OEM leads and OEM coilpack to arrive, my car shat its coilpack just cruising down a main road, luckily i could coast into a layby

I use BKR5EKUP, these are the correct plugs for a standard NA VR6 engine.

5eku and eku p makes little diffrence on a n/a VR6 engine. P=platinum and should last longer and be more expensive. BKR5EKU is the best stock plug to use. Done.
