Should you continue making the plugs colder after 300whp or so? I'm running BKR7E's right now which is what people say to use for 300whp but what about the people running 400+whp?

is there a good 8 or 9 series plug to use? The NGK plug list is sooo long, theres way to many options, and not many 8 or 9's.

BTW: im running a b18b so 7 is 2 colder than stock.

TIA.

 

you didnt look hard enuff becuase there is tons of posts on plugs.
Yes they make an 8, 9, 10 ect series

 

for 400+ you need 8's n 500+ its a good idea to go with 9's

 

I am still using 7's on 400+. It runs fine and no misfire during boost runs. Should I be stepping up to 8's?

i seriously did like 6 or 7 searches, there are pleanty about spark plugs, not any were on higher than 7 heat ranges though.

Anyway, Thanks. What specific plugs do people recommend?

 

R5671A-8, R5671A-9 or R5671A-10 is what I would recommend. I personally have run the 9 & 10 heat ranges.

 

bump because I would like to know as well

 

I runs 8s in my car's. People that run double the horse power I do run 8s as well. The worse thing that can happen running a spark plug that is to cold, is exsessive carbon build up or maybe a missfire. They just will foul faster, from what im told.

 

NGK BKR7E's with 450+ HP here

 

id recommend some NGK 5238's

Thanks, are those NGK models? (they dont look like it). are the 8,9,10 the heat ranges? did u see reduced detonation with the colder plugs?

doh... im using those on my car only 190hp... maybe i should try 6's.

 

I would never run anything other than an NGK in a honda...definitely not autolite. Just my opinion though.

Agree - i would only run NGK. Although autolites are the "Nascar plug of choice".... *rolls eyes*

AUTOLITE?!?!?!?! WTF?!?!?! Keep that in the snowblower

Whats stock for your car? 5? i'd say you are borderline between 1 and 2 steps colder.
