is it good to use this type of setup??

i jus read on the timing belt cover and it said to use short tip type of spark plug. i have been using ones that they gave me for b18c's and i dont know if its short or long type.

which do they normally give?

NGK BKR6E-11 for stock, or BKR7E-11 for a colder plug.

 

why run a colder plug? is it better for all motor?

If you're running high compression, yes.

 

so it would not do anything if i ran colder plugs compare to regular plugs?

No. Colder plugs retain less heat and will slightly reduce an engine's tendency to detonate.

 

I have the jdm itr engine. I know it has slightly higher compression than the US one, but can I use the US plugs? Suggestions?

yes... thats what i mean.i have the jdm GSR which is higher compression then the US. will the colder plugs make gain of hp?

 

Colder plugs don't retain heat, they are best suited for high compression engines because they prevent detonation. Run a BKR7E-11, $1.89 from NAPA, good plug.

what would be considered high c/r?? 12.5/1 ?? Stock plugs or colder??

 

i guess i will buy colder plugs next time.

how about NGK G-Power Platinum, Laser Platinum, etc. other higher sparks.?

 

I like NGK's Irirdium plugs. check them out... http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/iridium

higher plugs are alwase better power... but get colder with higher comp motors rite?

 

i have a lsvtec turbo with 11.5 comp and i used NGK colder plugs and it helped out a **** load with detonation.
