dont waste your money,
copper plugs works just fine for me, boosted or not.

NGK copper plugs serve me well, not to mention they are cheap.

Hondas love OEM plugs (NGK Copper), but if I was to switch, I'd run Denso Iridium. My Jetta loves them.

I've heard good things about the NGK V-Power plugs. I might use them next time around, although my current Bosch plugs work fine too.

The V-Power's are good, but I've had better results with the Denso Iridium's. I'm thinking of trying the Spoon plugs next.

For my b16a2, NGK BKR7E is one heat range cooler. BKR8E is two heat ranges cooler.

I went to the link and I saw what I looking for, but they listed them by quantity of one, does this mean its 1 plug, or one set?<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by slow_dx &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">For my b16a2, NGK BKR7E is one heat range cooler.

I'm pretty sure it's for a box of 10. It explained it better at the checkout, IIRC.

I don't know about a turbo setup. My own setup is N/A, but I have been getting some pinging in stop and go traffic, which is what prompted me to install the plugs. I figured it was cheap insurance.

How much boost are you running?

Consider installing a set and checking them periodically. If the plugs are fouling on you, you can either run it harder or switch back to stock.

Does v-power mean that the plug has a 'v' shaped groove in the electrode?

the BKR7Es that I installed had that.
