I've used NGK platinum, and Iridium IX, and Denso Iridiums.... I didn't really notice a difference in either, but I like the NGK Iridium IX's.

I have tried many Tyoes of spark plugs and i have noticed the Bosch plugs are the first to foul out. Ngk's Are great and I still run them in my car today i have even used old plugs and they have still worked for me. Lates

Ngk's , I did happen to come across this though.



Blue line = Bosch #4227 Spark plugs
Red line = NGK V-Power Spark plugs
This motor is a single cam, all motor D16! And the customer won 1st place at the Battle of the Imports in his bracket!! Congratulations Will!
Anyway, Will, you owe me a set of Bosch plugs! Will didn't think in a million years that the Bosch would make power...then I put them in and changed his mind. We love changing peoples minds!

That was takin from importreview.com

Yes. Platinum plugs are long life plugs. Often they are labeled "high performance" and so on. The only plug i would use besides copper is iridium. Iridium unlike platinum is a better conducter by far and worth the value. Its good to change your plugs at least every 15K anyways. Im tired so thats all the detail i can write...

cool... I got confused for a second. . . I was thinking Iridium, cause that is what I am running and I like them.... But isn't the factory specified part for the Vtec Del Sol and Civic Si (B16) an NGK platinum plug?

No. Its copper. NGK BK6RE-11 is USDM models. JDM came with BK7RE-11. And i believe the iridiums are BK6RE-N11.

alittle note on those $bling$ plugs and dyno numbers. i bet those company compares worn plugs with
their new ****. of course you'll get a gain in power when you test old worn plugs against new ones.

go for the $2 a pop ngk v power. i jus change mine every 20K
