How often do you change your plugs? And what kind are they?

I know that copper plugs last 10K, give or take a few more thousand in N/A form but since this is the F/I forum and my car is boosted, I was just wondering about the lifespan of copper plugs (specifically NGK-BKR7E).


Thanks!!

 

i wanna know also.

 

i change my plugs with every oil change

 

every 5,000 miles they cost me 10 bucks.

 

Where do you get them for $10? NGK-BKR7E's right?

Inline four charges me $12 for them and the drive is sort of far.

 

your local auto parts store should have bkr7e's...i know mine does.

 

I run ngk r5671A-9 with a 25 thousands gap in my car. I check them regularly to make sure they are still looking okay. Really depends on the weather. In the cold they only last a few weeks, but in sunny southern california they last awhile. Really awesome plugs though, the best ive ever used.

when i had my boosted dc2.......i changed it every two oil change.....unless i dyno for some odd reason.....

 

AdvanceAuto does not usually stock BKR7E's on their shelves, but they have them in their warehouse and can get them within 24 hours. I want to say my last set of 4 was near $10.

 

I haven't changed plugs since I've been turbo (like 5,000 miles) and I was running these same plugs for about 20K before that. Regapped them a little while ago but why spend money when you don't have to?

My car needs a retune, but If I don't change my plugs by 4K I get hard starting and misfiring.

 

I went 45K (30K turboed) on the factory original plugs, I checked them probably a dozen times, and they always looked great. When I finally got the Hondata, my tuner replaced the factory plugs with the '7' heat range, and I haven't changed them since, maybe 5K miles, I'll check them before I drive the car again in the spring, but don't expect any issues.

 

i get mines for advance auto parts, they keep it in stock where i am located

 

I have NGK Iridium heat range 7 plugs and they are rated to last 100,000 miles. Just took mine out the other day to look at them 9,000 miles so far and they look just the same when last took them out for a look at 3,000 miles.

NGK Iridium plugs gets a ....

For the price they cost it'll save you money in the long run and they'll give you better performance...

 

i also use ngk irridiums. They look new evertime i change my oil, its been 15,000 miles so far i think?

 

so what should i use on a boosted single cam? what plugs. 7 heat?
thanks

BKR7E's?

 

Bought a box of 10 NGK BKR7E's on ebay for $12 a few weeks ago.

 

The Advance Auto Parts or any of its sub divisions do not stock BKR7Es and must be special ordered.

If there's any online links to where I can buy them in mass quantities, please direct me.


Thanks!!!
