Are denso iridium's really worth it? I just paid over 50 dollars for spark plugs and i am having trouble rationalizing with the decision i made. If reliable sources say that they are worth it i'll throw them in, if not, i am returning them to auto zone, going to pep boys and spending 25 dollars on ac delco rapid fire's.

I say always go with OEM. Unless you are upgraded enough to go with a colder plug.

ngk bpr6es or bpr7es if you are running a lot of boost

turbo4g63 · 04-22-2007, 12:47 AM

i turned the boost down to 14 lbs since my clutch started slipping, when the new clutch goes in i'll probly be running 18 lbs daily

ScubaSteve · 04-22-2007, 01:23 AM

turbo4g63 · 04-22-2007, 11:25 AM

freebmx444 · 04-22-2007, 11:37 AM

freebmx444 · 04-22-2007, 11:42 AM

or call the other stores you listed and see if they carry bpr6es or bpr7es

You can get OEM NGKs at any autozone/advance/etc. Every time I went to buy some (twice) they had em no problem. I sent less than 5 bucks each time haha

silver05bullet · 04-22-2007, 12:30 PM

advanced auto parts should have 6's in stock if not they can order them theyre like 1.78 a plug or something around that Extreme psi keeps them in stock

CHAOS · 04-22-2007, 12:32 PM

ngk's are quality... i dont see the point in spending that much if you arent running a ton of boost

NOPSTNS · 04-22-2007, 12:44 PM

my oem plugs ARE iridium, be thankful u dont have to pay 60 bucks for EACH plug like me

turbo4g63 · 04-22-2007, 01:04 PM

i am returning the denso's today, i am gonna call extremepsi tomorrow and have them ship me a set of ngk plugs and wires, i don't think the wires were ever done on my car...and i have had it for about 45000 of the 87k on it so i figure a all around tune up is due. oil change w/ filter, plugs, wires, i flushed the coolant when i did my turbo upgrade 3 mos ago, and i did the gear oil in the trans 2 mos ago
