Rb20Det Spark Plugs Save Money!

[jarvo32]

Hey everyone,

I have an r32 gtst with a stock RB20DET, was looking into spark plugs all around apparently you need these iridium ones that are 22 bux a pop. I chucked these in (3330) BCPR7ES (NGK code) and they work wonders!!! There only 4 bucks a plug at autobahn or sca. I did this over 2 months ago and coilpacks are 100% no damage to engine at all!! Runs fkn awesome! Save yourself $100 when servicing ;-) should work in 33s as well

Hope this helps.

you aren't the first person to discover copper plugs being cheaper than iridiums. i was running the heat range 6 plugs of the ones you mentioned (BCPR6ES) 6 years ago when i had my 33 gts-t. the heat range 6 plugs are better for people with minimal mods and are using the car for everyday driving as the colder heat range 7 plugs you are using are a little bit more prone to fouling.

the only downside is that they need to be changed more often than the iridiums, which does negate some of the savings.

NGK BKR6EYA in my 33.

$4.50 each.

Changing plugs is bonding with your beast.

When I bought the car it had in it - Autolite Double Platinum APP3924 plugs which are supposed to last 100,000 miles (160,000kms)

The guy I bought the car from reckoned you should change them every 80,000kms.

They started missfiring at idle after they had done less than 20,000kms.

Changed to NGK coppers, missfire gone, just put in my 2nd set after 10,000kms (no problems, only changed cause they had done 10,000).

No worries.

Yeah man that's awesome. You may have to change more frequent but it's saving that cash man haha plus it's fun to tinker so I don't mind. I've done 5k on mine still hitting high revs no backfires or misses.. Loving it

Mad082 clearly people know about this but for the people just starting off ( like I am) this info really helps. Yeah my car is pretty much stock and the 7s are running great

i would run iridiums just because of that bitch of a crossover pipe
