Noz Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hi all, was wondering, what spark plugs would I need for the GE engine when running boost. I've bought plugs before, they were the wrong ones. I also bought some Iridiums, they ended up being the wrong ones as well.... So any advice would be helpful, as I'd like to actually fit this set Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOSTA Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I was told by Ryan to use BKR7E's (6097) there a copper plug and really cheep too ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballsdeep Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 how'd these work out for you.. did you need to re-gap them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Use iridiums. I'll grab the code later for you. Austec recommended them, they swapped them out and I grabbed another 80bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Use iridiums. I'll grab the code later for you. Austec recommended them, they swapped them out and I grabbed another 80bhp. :rlol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 ? Whats so funny? Probably didn't help that the ones I had in there were knackered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 They would have to be, it just sounds like your saying that you gained 80BHP from just fitting iridium plugs, which is kind of misleading to the OPs original question, as no plug will give a performance increase ,iridium plugs where developed for increased service life on engines that are difficult to reach the plugs like the Mitsubishi V6 engines, same with platinum, just an older tech, copper core plugs are perfectly adequate for any application as long as you don't expect them to last 30K mls.

ballsdeep Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Well I'm going to swap them out today they will be ideal for mapping with. Now should I re-gap them or let my mapper do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a more accurate way to describe what I was trying to say is I was down 80bhp because of not using them. I just didn't work it correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn't work it correctly Still incorrect, you where down 80BHP due to worn plugs and not being able to map it correctly because of worn plugs;) Also a lot of mappers wont use iridium to map due to there sensitivity to damage from det, i have seen so many posts on other forums and this with tales of problems due to the use of iridium plugs causing damage when det has been encountered, which is the reason i mentioned it, I know that most problems reported where using Denso iridiums, so it may or may not apply to other makes, but even so it was enough to put me of ever using them.

Graham1984 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I thought they wouldn't map without copper plugs as they would blow first being the weakest item in the chain rather than having iridium plugs and something else blows instead?
