Which NGK Spark Plugs
 

I have a built B16a in my CRX and I'm having issues with the plugs not lasting. I am currently using BCPR6ES.

Is this the right plug for an NA which sees weekly strip use? If not, what should be the NTK part number?

What if I want to squeeze a 75 shot? Should I use a colder NTK plug or how about a set of ZEX plugs? Which would be the colder NTK plug number?

Thanks!
Raul

Can someone help me?

You mean NGK?

You go up on the # to get a colder plug. For instance ZFR7F is colder than ZFR6F.

NTK is the Japan version of NGK. Both use same materials and everything. The name change has to do with import traffifs and crap... Anyway. You need to go ZFR7F-11! These NGK plugs will solve your problem, esp. with n20.

Learn something new everyday. Those are the plugs I'm running currently. Best I've tried thus far.

Yeah, they handle extreme heat very well..

Hey thanks 976. I'll go get a set today. I can use them for both NA and Nitrous right?

Yup, they all will work for N/A and nitrious, However I recommend the version with 7 for nitrious, and 6 or 5 for N/A.

Last question...

These plugs seem to be made for non-vtec engines. I have a B16a. Should I still use these or BKR6E-N-11

Re: Which NTK Spark Plugs (7rrivera7)
 

Yeah the ZFRs are what's recommended for the B18a/b according to helms. I've used them and BKRs in my GSR and both were fine.

Re: Which NTK Spark Plugs (TimoneX)
 

Do you know the difference between BKR6E-11 and BKR6E-N-11?

My local Pep Boys only has the BKR6E-11's

Anyone know the difference?

I've got a list that says the N means "special side electrode", but it doesn't say WHAT's so special about it...
