NGK BKR7EIX Iridiums

[ballistik8]

Who all is running these, and have they been working out well?

I have heard multiple different opinions on these...I have just put them in recently, and haven't seen any problems. I am replacing my injectors, and want to replace them as well if necessary.

[mrbacardi35]

I am running them. Good stuff.

[AudiAdi]

Yup... the BEST one so far for me. Smooth and responsive power delivery.

[PDX04a4]

ya im running them as well, seem pretty good, no start up issues really and the power seems pretty smooth.

[b6onboost]

I've been running them for a few thousand miles now without any issues.

I've ran stock platinums, NGK BKR7E coppers, and now the irridiums. Honestly, my experience has been a plug is a plug. My car has boosted well and ran smoothly on all of them and I have not been able to notice any performance difference.

[Casius]

If you don't run extra boost you won't notice a difference

[joebleu]

Just put these in the past weekend. Very smooth and not start-up issue... but I am in Cali where it doesn't get that cold. Beats changing out the plugs every oil change.
Oh, and I'm gapped at 0.028 with APR stage 1+

[ballistik8]

ok good deal...thanks guys.

[widgget]

i've got three of them, work great, LOL.
the 4th had a snapped electrode, haven't gotten back to NAPA to pickup the new one they ordered in for me.

Ditto. And I am Revo stage 2 with over 20 pounds boost.

I'm running a similar setup to yours. Whyd you switch to the 8s over the 7s?

[ballistik8]

they are just a step colder...he is running more power and boost than us with 1+ or 2+...

[MMMB00ST_A4]

Might look into getting a set of the 8s then. Where do you usual get yours? Cheapest place to get the 8s?

if your a stage II+ car or even I+ the better sets would be the 7EIX.... trust me run them instead of them the 8EIX ....my plugs are meant for my car ..... they may foul on your car if you put them in.... gap your to .030 and your good to go... as mine i gap to .028

always happy to help someone save a few bucks.

[a4darkness]

Purchased! Only I went NGK BKR6EIX since I'm all stock. Same price thou. Glad I saw your post, my idle was just starting to get a tad rough.

Thanks for the ebay link above...quick question for anyone who knows. I see talk above about people gapping these plugs to a specific number, though at the bottom of this guy's ebay page it says "Donot Gap Iridium Spark Plugs". What gives?

prolly because its precautionary cause you can break the tips.... of the plug if you dnt have the right tool.... usually the 8's already come pre-gapped but check them anyways and gapp with precise accuracy you do not want to spend another 8+ bux on another spark plugs cause u broke the spark node

[a4darkness]

Yup, exactly.

Someone posted this video on gapping while ago. While it might be obvious to some, and most of us know how to gap a plug, it's good info. Visuals always help too.



That and any excuse to embed a video is win.

[widgget]

yeah, watch out gapping the IX plugs, that is why i only have three in my car right now, still haven't picked up the replacement for the 4th. used the old style tool that the video above says not to use.

[secnd2no1]

i have both tools the first tool he shows sucks .....

[NyteEscape]

just swapped in BKR6EIX-11's in my 3.0 and she runs like a charm.

[//S POWER]

Ditto. Responsive and smooth power delivery. Much better than Bosch SPs.

holy bump from the skies.

i run BKR7EIX's and they run great. their longevity is much higher than any other plug i've run, and when you factor that in the cost outweighs usage of any other plug that i've used thus far. in comparison to NGK v-powers and NGK platinum's.

in regards to using 8 EIX's i wouldn't just jump to a higher different heat range so easily. you should monitor electrode heat wear after say 5000 miles to determine if you need to go one step colder. basically you look at the electrode for the color change point to determine if you need to go one step hotter or colder from your current plug. that is if you aren't having detonation issues, or blowing up plugs.

Here is a great article written by someone on Honda-Tech. It has very very useful information. I have not yet reviewed in detail for accuracy, but should provide anybody with enough knowledge to diagnose engine running condition themselves.

Sorry to bump this thread up, but are these still the correct plugs for 2.0T coils (06e905115e) as well? I have an APR Stage 2+ car with a few additional mods...
