Need help with plugs!! ASAP
i just bought new plugs for my LS-T and i usually use the ngk BCPR7ES-11 but the shop was out of them 
, so they gave me the BCPR7EVX-11 instead because they are the same heat range and everything. only difference is the plugs i just got today are the platinum ones. Can/Will this hurt my motor? ive never used the platinum ones so i just wanted to make sure. please let me know asap cause i need to put them in so i can finish tuning my car. TIA

Re: Need help with plugs!! ASAP (civicflnum1)
Unfortunately i cant help much, but i do noe platnum plugs are no good for nitrous. i melted the electrodes off a set on my old motor.. had to re bore the motor and replace the valves because the melted platnum went eveywhere and made a mess of things...
I would think they wouldnt be good for boost either if they melt so easy.. i only had a 50 shot of nitrous and they melted, just imagine what would happen with 10+psi of boost...
