copper are better than stock R plugs, cheaper and last longer with just as good of a spark. 1.1mm gap size you can get the tool at pep boys when you go pick up your exhaust and SiR badge j/k

Why would Honda install platinum spark plugs in the GS-R and the ITR if the cooper ones lasted longer, were cheaper, and gave the same spark intensity ?
I doubt they did this just for the fun of it.

I've been running my coppers for about 1 year and they look and operate fine. For about 11 bux for the set you can't go wrong. It all comes to personal preference, and I choose copper dammit

I don't get them through Acura, I'm done dealing with Acura dealerships. They are a pain in the ***, got mine through a local import shop, but many auto stores carry them. I'll have to check the box tonight for a part# if you want it. I'll repost tomorrow if this thread is still alive.

I would rather save that money towards something that will increase HP or lower temp.

NGK ZFR5F-11 - NA
ZFR6(or 7)F-11 - FI or Boost

I ran a lot on the track but copper plugs only last me not more than 5 laps. NGK VX #7 will be the best bet for the stock ITR engine.

The VX #7's are good for the stock engine? My stock PFR6G11 plugs look great and seems the heat range is perfect on them. Would there still be a reason to go colder with the VX's? I am looking for some new plugs and the stock ones are deadly expensive.

Whatever you get, make sure you change them frequently, or sgT will be on you!

Dave, that one's obviously broken! (j/k)

Which one is that?
One that won't break, has more piston to plug clearance and the spark is unobstructed. All

Just for reference purposes, my friend uses NGK# BKR6E-11 in his R. They work great and inexpensive too... oh gapped to .044"
