Lukey. 381 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 save yourself the money and get BKR5E and change them every 20k instead of every 40k.1. its still cheaper to buy 2 sets of BKR5E than one set of the others2. 40k is a very long time, 20k is better Link to post Share on other sites

Antihero1981 8 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Kup;s are more suited to charged vr6 , but i ran normal ones for a while bit they kept misfiring even after i gapped them Link to post Share on other sites
chief ka kar 0 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I have had iridium in my last 2 vr's standard engine and i cant tell the diff, so prob best going with standard, unless your going to run big power. Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 UP is just a platinum tip for extended life, but it's all b0llocks. Just use cheap plugs. VR6's foul them up fairly quickly, so expensive (and pointless) iridiums are a waste of money, imo :-) Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Yes you can sir :-) Is the 5 heat grade correct for South Africa though? I would expect one plug colder for you guys. BKR6E.I've used all manner of garbage plugs in my VR Turbo and it was just as happy with those as it was the expensive brand named plugs. Link to post Share on other sites

FishWick 21 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Warmer climates tend to have a colder grade plug. The standard plug in the US is a 6. Look up spark plug heat ranges on Google for an explanation :-) But if your service book says, 5, then use a 5. Link to post Share on other sites
