im using NGK in mine

by **PMK3** on Sun Mar 04, 2007 8:58 pm

yeah really its between NGK or champion plugs.was looking at the iridium ones,just wondered if there were any other better ones on the market?

by **Tweek** on Sun Mar 04, 2007 9:03 pm

using NGK now too. not been out with them in yet but engine's running much smoother and sounds nicer revved... although that's because the ones i removed were the original plugs by the look of it

Bosch Platinum is meant to be good aswell, i had them in my mk2 xr2 when i had it and them seemed good but i never drove car with standard plugs.

Standard Ford (PC-08 iirc) about £2.50 each from Ford and work a treat

It depends what boost you are running as to what plugs to get!

I was running pp8's ok with 14psi but when the boost went up to 20psi they were getting to hot and risked melting so i now have C59's which seem to be ok.

I like the way you say "they seem to be ok"

Well they havent gone a s**t colour lol.

I'll check them out properly when i get it back up NMS.

he not running any boost mate, N/A :wink:

well i had problems with both champion and NGK,

i never had a problem with the standard plugs but i am using bosch super 4's at the moment and they great, cost me bout 20quid mate.

by **emoDUDE** on Tue Mar 13, 2007 1:28 pm

The best plugs I've found are HKS Platinum ones from Sumo Power or Norris Designs.

The're about 22 quid each, and come in all threads and are all lengths.

Jesus

Talk about forking out for the sakes of it :aaah:

by **wildheart** on Tue Mar 13, 2007 7:35 pm

White2i :he not running any boost mate, N/A

Doh!
In that case i would just ise motorcraft plugs.

They gave a better top end in the mini, and it felt more responsive midrange.

Well worth the money

by **Oranoco** on Tue Mar 13, 2007 10:33 pm

I can assure you in the Ford tuning you will gain nothing by running mega expensive plugs in most road going states of tune

by **emoDUDE** on Wed Mar 14, 2007 12:15 pm

Understandable. As I say, I've never gone to town on a Ford engine, only an A-series.

It didn't really improve the power, just a bit more responsiveness mid and top end.

At my father's garage, we only fit genuine Ford plugs in them, and we've had problems in over 20 years.

Well worth it, and they are relatively cheap!

Always used NGK, and never had a problem (except ones caused by bad engines, lol). :wink:
