I just finished installing my typhoon intake, someone told me I should get new set of spark plugs to get better performance, is that true? I have around 19,000 on my car right now. Thanks!

 

If you have never changed your sparkplugs it wouldn't be a bad idea.

I generally change mine 10-15k, because its so cheap and easy. Stock plugs are supposidly long life plugs, but the longer you use them the more worn they get and your performance does suffer.

It doesn't increase performance, it just restores performance lost due to warn parts.

 

no yours should be moer than fine.

 

I also recommend shorter intervals for plugs, especially for higher compression or FI'd cars.

Use NGK ZFR6F-11's.

Pepboys should have them.

 

hi is a stock car though

 

yep only GSRs and ITRs have platinum plugs which last for 60k...GS/LS/RS need to be changed 10-15

 

my 99 gs had the same plugs in it from the factory as my ITR did ? explain that

 

my ls came with Platnum plugs in it (bought at a dealer off of lease at 43,00) I think the plugs were origional.

 

Just get copper plugs. It costs like $5 and about 15-20minutes to do. So why not?

 

hey that's just what it says in the manual for servicing

 

exactly

 

You do not need to replace the spark plug yets. It doesn't hurt but it's a waste of money. It's not expensive, about $1.70 each for NGK from your local part store.

 

its not necessary at this point but if you want to then you can replace it w/ coppers.. I use coppers on all my cars and change them every 10K or so...

 

I wasn't excluding his stock B18B.

I've found that by 15k miles on a B18C1 w/ 10.0:1 CR, the BKR6E-11 coppers already have the electrode rounded off.

 

Shouldn't need to replace your plugs all that often. Watch for signs though like slow start-up, bogging, and poor gas mileage. If you're OK with those then you're fine.
