Audi RS3 brisk spark plug

[Edyuly]

Everyone, I currently have a stage two RS3 with NGK plugs but looking to change to Brisk spark plugs as they are a lot cheaper and I hear great things about them.I use pump 93 in the winter and e85 in the summer .Who has experience with them and can I get the spark plug number ? Mileage they last?

Thanks

They need to be regapped frequently. I used them on my Golf R and the gap widened (.024 to.028) within 7500km.

I would think they are not as durable as iridium plugs. You would have to service them more often.

Stock NGK's are still the way to go

I truly don't know why people just don't buy NGK for everything. They have been doing it a long time and their products are typically dead nuts reliable.

[jd_rs3]

why cheap out on spark plugs? If you're that worried about the cost of spark plugs, not sure RS3 is the best car for you. Just really don't understand the desire to do this when NGK's do just fine.

I come from a supercharged s550 running Brisk plugs never a problem usually change them every spring. I would do the same on the Audi just want opinion on people who have run them looking for a slight edge if even possible. any feedbacks appreciated not looking to hear the Audi is Not the car for me or not

You literally said

Hence my comment. It was not intended to be offensive.

I have the same question because there is no way I am spending $40 for a spark plug. I just can’t do it. I’ll replace the silvers every year if I have to.

Iroz recommended them to a stage 2 friend of mine. He loves them and ran a [email protected] (faster than any of my stage 2 friends). He bought the Silver ER10S’s in case you were wondering.

[kornsined]

I say they're good and last 10-15000 miles in my experience. You just have to check them frequently to regap them. If you're ok with that then go for them.

Just ordered the colder NGKs

When trying to decide which way you should go .... think about the criticality of the part you are shopping for. What kind of abuse does this part see, how often is this part used, is it a key ingredient in the recipe for engine health and performance, is changing to an untested alternative worth the risk?

The Brisk ER10S is $11x5 = $55
The NGK 7437-9 is $40x5 = $200

The difference is about $150 over the course of a year (I change mine every spring). My time alone is worth more than that to NOT have to change the plugs as often!

Unitronic has the NGK plugs in stock which you know are authentic NGK. I'm not a UNI nuthugger but they do have one of the best shipping and supply chains out there. I just received my spring resupply which arrived 3 days after placing the order.

Jeff, pretty risky coming into this thread with all your logic and reason nonsense. We're here to save $

Sorry man. I'll work on being better.

Anyone compared the NGK to Denso iridium?

About the same price. Seen in a thread here, or maybe somewhere else, that the NGK's had a "defect" or something that would cause the tip to break off or something. I've always ran NGK's in the past, but something about a certain model number of plug are weird.

Thoughts?

[Jeff_Jeske]

I recently saw a facebook thread about an NGK tip issue and I immediately thought to myself I wonder if those plugs were manually gapped and how it was performed.

As far as I could tell, I only saw one person that said it had happened to them.

Many of us have been running the NGK 7437-8 iridium plugs in EVOs since 2006 without issue. It's basically the same 26.5mm reach plug just one range hotter. The price of these hasn't changed in over 15 years.

Jeff, I just got my NGKs 7437-9s today. I'm currently running uni stage 1+ on stock plugs for the past 500 miles. When changing out the plugs this weekend should I change the gap set in the box? I've heard that keeping the wider gap brings in more power. If changing it, what's the optimum gap for this setup?

Every NGK plug I have received has been within spec and needed no adjustment.

[RaudiRS3]

Why does everyone get so offensive when someone wants to save a buck ? Though I personally don't think trying to penny pinch on a critical component such as a spark plugs is wise. Better off telling the op why you think x is better than y. Instead of the f-off post.

I purchased NGK for my stg 2 e85 rs3, if a reputable retailer had a sale and I could save you bet I would take the deal like many of us would.

OP , like others have said better to stick with NGK, less maintenance and trusted brand. I ran NGK and brisk in my s550 and my s197 , much prefer the NGKs. Brother currently has a 8second supercharged s550 , we run NGK.

So NGK in my opinion is the choice.

the NGK's come pre-gapped to 0.028, Unitronic(and APR) say to gap them to 0.024 +/- 0.002.

How are all the ones you receive within spec? or are you gapping them to something other than 0.024?

[Jeff_Jeske]

Experience has taught me not to re-gap any precious metal plugs. I can promise you that people have done much more harm than good attempting to change that gap a few thousandths.

There are videos of people using those little round gapping disks pressing on the electrode, others with serrated jaws pliers and even some fool whacking the plug strap on a hard surface to close it up. These are not lawn mower plugs and shouldn't be treated as such.

The tuners recommendations are a good place to start but with a healthy coil on plug ignition system .028 is fine for stage 2 power levels. If you are skeptical just log the car afterwards to ensure you don't have any misfires.

[tegxsi]

I believe the factory gap is 0.028" but with higher boost/cylinder pressures, the gap should be a bit smaller to prevent spark blow out. I usually gap plugs on turbo cars at 0.024" - 0.026" and gone down to 0.022" on 2015 WRX with FA20DIT.

I agree that some don't know how to gap plugs properly and end up damaging the center electrode.

gotcha. i agree, gapping them properly is important. i would be curious to see how they run at 0.028, if theres much of a difference.

[S3DUDE]

First time in my life hearing a brand brisk for spark plugs and I have been on many vendors and tuners websites, Napa, autozone, orellys,pep boys. Where are brisk made?

[wittmer25]

The Denso 5347 IKH27 plugs directly cross reference the NGK R7437-9 per NGK's cross reference guide. Both are iridium, but the Denso plugs are half the price. With the NGK's being hard to come by today, does anyone see why I should not go with the Denso's? They are same price as the Brisk's as well.

[Harordr]

I am seeing mixed reviews on gapping....I really dont want to try and re-gap the plugs if I don't have to. Is it safe to say that attempting to regap from 0.028 to 0.026 is not worth the risk?

Denso over Brisk anyday. Densos are good to go, just make sure you buy them from a reputable re-seller, lots of counterfeit issues with them.

[tegxsi]

I have a set of Brisk plugs sitting here. I think I might gap them on the tighter side to account for wear.

I've always wondered if anyone ran Denso IKH27. I would think they would work fine but I often hear stores about Denso ceramic insulator cracking.
