Suprakeith Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I am after some help regarding best spark plugs to run in my forged NA-T build, currently I have just got the old iridium’s fitted to keep dirt and dust old but have heard few people use copper plugs to run new engines in. So was wondering if it’s best to use copper plugs and if so what ones to use as I am unsure? Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Run what plugs you like as long as they are the correct heat range for your engine tune, the only difference between copper and iridium is service life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I normally run coppers for running in & mapping. They are cheaper, give the same performance (within their lifespan) and easier to adjust gaps if needed. For most single builds a BKR7E plug is a good place to start. Though you will need to reduce gap as boost increases. If you are going for crazy power then you will need to go colder, BKR8E but then you are looking at iridium plugs. You should consult your mapper about this really, as it will depend on your power goals, boost, fuel type etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I always thought for mapping they say run copper plugs as they'll let go first before something more important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
