1992 VX, i just baught spark plugs and my gapping tool doesnt have 44 (the spec they gave me at the parts counter) so what do i do? new guage?

 

i have 45 on my guage....will that do? (the plugs are already at this)

 

First off what kinda plugs are they? If they are NGK's i dont think you have to touch them...Unless you're like turbo or something fully built andyou need a diffrent gap for some reason! Dosn't sound like your that case though!

Dutch

 

nope, bosch platinum, and it clearly says on teh package to gap them to spec

 

RETURN THOSE NOW!!!!

Bosh is for crap like VW and other euro trash!

Go get some NGK's or Denso's

Dutch

 

keeping em, i will prove myself if its bad or not. i dont care what anyone says, i'll first had it. now, is 45 ok if i need 44?

 

I will not answer your DUMB *** question! You have the wrong **** to begin with! You are an ***, it's proven they dont work good! I have taken them out of countless cars with driveabliltiy problems! So YOU my friend are dumb!

Dutch----who runs NGK plugs!

 

WTF is wrong with you man? get the hell outta here, close-minded brand loyal losers suck ***, maybe they are ****, but they cant be worse then my current plugs, so you suck, get the hell out of my thread and stop tyring to be the man on a goddamn online forum.

 

Well when you wanna use CRAP i am gonna tell you! I know they are CRAP! I've seen them in Hondas it makes them run like absolute CRAP! I dont give a **** about a name! For hells sake i run a knock off front lip and I have camo valve cover! I've driven Nissans, Toyotas, and hell I even had a ******* NEON! So dont give me this "brand loyal" ****! I am not trying to be an E-thug...i am telling you to just put that crap in the toilet and get the RIGHT parts!

Dutch

 

its just a damn VX and they are just damn plugs a vx puts out what? 85 HP? runs on 87 octane, waste of money to use synthetic oil, i even used 5w-30 in the tranny, it has 13's with 175-70-13 tires, weighs 2094 lbs, has the longest-*** tranny in the world, lets face it, the car is crap to start with. VTEC-E? what a joke, the only reason i have it is to swap a GSR next spring, but for now, its still garbage. so can you please tell me if 1/1000th makes a big diffrence or not?

 

What other measurements do you have? If you have 43, make it 43. Otherwise, 45 is fine. If you get misfire lower the gap a few mm.

 

i have 40 and 45....wait do i need 44 in MM or teh SAE version?

 

hello?

Dude forget them, Ive got a VX also I bought som boschs...like over a year + ago. Drivabilty my ***...Runs ******* fine. I got the platinums, with the 4 prongs, they cant be gapped.

They run better then the old NGK's did, could have been old could have been bad plugs. My gas mileage is better, and it runs smoother...so yea.


lol its a 90hp shitbucket...I better go get some 6$ a QT sythetic...yea!

 

the blind leading the blind!

I'm running Bosche platinum +4's in my '92 SI now. It's the best that you can get over the counter. All Bosche platinums do not require gapping.(as far as I remember) As for the brand loyal narrow minded , a good product is a good product. I ran into this crap on VW Vortex too. If it works and you like it , use it!

 

bosch platinum are 2.09 a plug. denso are 1.79 a plug.

hmm tough choice there.

 

 

Oh and for the guy that said bosch platinum's do not require gapping.

I sell about 30 or so of them a day. and in every pack of four, i will bet money that at least one of them is not gapped. I have even opened packs where every plug was a different gap. Bosch is a piece of ****, i know because i deal with them on a daily basis. If i have a stubborn customer who insists on buying bosch, i always remind them that the gaps are always wrong

and about the bosch 2 and 4 prong plugs, i get retarded ******** calling at least once a week because they bought those shitty things and put them in and now their car is misfiring and they want to bitch at me for it. and i calmly tell them that they should have bought a real freaking spark plug.

 

I've always used them. Since my father recomended them. The original platinums I got all came correctly gapped!(not the +4's) Where the hell do you work? Autozone?

I have been told that you should not gap Platnium plugs since the tips are very delicate. Have the guy that sells you the plugs to gap them for you before you leave the store just in case one of them breaks.

NGK's are great but some people dont like replacing the plugs every 30k.

just my 2c

 

i had those plugs and they got filthy in 3 months and had to get new ones....ur a fool to keep them but whatever floats ur boat.

 

Finally..****! Someone with a damn brain! I was a tech for Honda and have taken out so many...Champion and Bosh plugs cause cars were running like crap!

To each his own...

 

Meh, I installed a set of Plus2s a couple years ago, left them at the gap they came in since who knows how the fark to gap those things. Replaced them with NGKs a couple months ago. Didn't notice a difference in fuel economy except for the Plus2s, they replaced 5+ year old OEMs (the center electrode had literally melted away). Only time the engine ran rough was when the dealership "checked" my plugs for no discernable reason, then didn't torque them down to spec, which caused a plug to work it's way loose.

If your gapper doesn't have the right size for your car, either get a new gapper or jury rig it - need .44? Put .21 & .13 together. Just make sure your gapper is clean & dry. But you should get a gapping tool that has the size you need on it.
