I need to get new spark plugs and I found these "Bosch Platinum+4" spark plugs at Pep Boys:

http://www.boschusa.com/AutoPa...lus4/

I always hear everyone talking about using NGK's for their GS-R, specifically the BKR6E-11's. Which are better? Do the 4 electrode's on the Bosch versus the 1 on the NGK really make a difference?

Any recommendations? Thanks....

search the archives, this question comes up all the time and im tired of answering it.

 

it's just a spark plug

 

i had the spark plugs you mentioned installed today in my gs-r, and it really makes a big difference over the ngk copper spark plugs.

it probably only seemed that way because you really needed a tune up anyway.

 

NGK coppers all the way. No need to waste money on fancy platnium 4 tip plugs.

NGK #5553 for GSR's and NGK #2262 for B1's ... Don't spend the money on them(+ 4's), not worth it man.

 

i will tell you right now buy ngk's but buy the mid range ones if you buy irudiums you will fry them in sinde a month if not sooner. just go with ngk's normal. the irudiums heat ou too fast and foul out quicker so its on you your money man

 

I got a set of the Bosch platinums and they were worse than my burnt (im talking burt white with the plastic body of it burned brown) NGK coppers.

 

the service manual on our cars calls for ngk platinum right? $48 for all four from the dealer (at empoyee price)

yeah, oe plugs are platinum.

 

bosch +4 are gay. end of story.

 

what you should do is this... #1 cylinder use a copper core bosch, #2 cylinder use a bosch platinum, #3 cylinder use a bosch platinum +2, and in #4 cylinder use a bosch +4... thats what you're supposed to do.. thats why bosch came up with those plugs...


J/P!!!

 

At work we wont put bosch in anything but europen cars. bad luck putting them in american cars and asians. Stick with NGK. Wont go wrong and its cheaper

i wouldnt put bosch in my ******* lawnmower.

 

Serious, I knock like I have gunpowder being spoonfed into the damn thing.

 

well if your talking about price, 4 plus 4's will cost you 24 dollars. i think 48 or whatever is more than that. i like the plus 4's and thats what im sticking with

 

i am also looking for good plugs, from what i have searched and read, ngk should be better than bosch...

I just ended up going to the dealer. They recommended the NGK "Laser Platinum Premium" PFR6G-13's. They were like 19.95 each, seemed like kind of a rip off, I hate buying stuff from the dealer. Oh well, I didn't feel like searching around for a better deal and was getting impatient so I just bought them.

Any opinions on these sparks? They are supposed to last 100k miles...

 

ngk laser is the best way to go, i paid 4 bucks each for mine new and they are great. 20 bucks ...ouch!

 

i've had those laser plats in mine for about 40k miles now and theyre great. you can usually pick those up for about $10 each from a local auto parts store though just so you know.
