Default cheapest spark plugs that will work?

im planning on using seafoam on my jdm 98 r. since the oem ngk pfr7g-11 is $44 for the whole set, its too expensive to risk fouling with using seafoam.

what i want to know is what is the cheapest spark plugs that will work for only like 10min just enough to drive around while the seafoam does its job?

BKR 6E N11 or go to a scrap yard and pull 4 plugs from any civic and stick them in, it doesnt really matter what they are in your case as anything that fits will do.

x4 and then run them as your normal plug. CHEAP, copper conducts better... shorter life but you can replace them more since they are... CHEAP.

Copper is a better conductor than platinum, only downside is shorter life.

Yah, and since they cost less than a 4th what the Plats usually cost... you can change them all the time and never spend as much as the Plats.

I've looked at it like this.
Plats are supposed to last 40k.
Coppers are supposed to last 10k.
Anywhere in there they are both loosing efficiency.... now do i want like 20k of lose with the Plats? or like 5k and replacement.....

I run Coppers

As others have mentioned, NGK coppers. Change them out every oil change. Cost $12 CAN for a set of four.

Or you can get a set (4 plugs) of NGK Iridiums for $40, which is cheaper than the dealership for one NGK Laser Platinum at $16 each.

Why pay dealership prices?

http://www.sparkplugs.com

Or just go to any auto parts store that sells NGK plugs. Ask for that specific part number. BKR7E-11

He wants 4 plugs to use for 10 minutes while he cleans the engine out with seafoam, so why are people on about how long plugs last and suggesting iridiums etc etc, any 4 plugs that fit the engine and fire for 10 minutes will do the job he wants them to!!!
