Hi,

Is it / can you up grade your spark plugs and is it worth it ? If you can any recommendations ?

My car is standard apart from the usual DV upgrade and green panel air filter.
 
nibbles can you just confirm BKR6EIX is the right NGK part number for the LCR?.
 
So buying a set of NGK Iridium IX spark plugs is a better move than buying the standard spec ones?

According to the site linked above the Iridium IX plugs are cheaper than the standard spec ones too. :)
 
Iridiums have a more consistent spark irrespective of how strong/weak the current being delivered, and can offset some of the effects of weak coil packs.

They supposedly increase performance and MPG, but I'd take that with a pinch of salt. The NGK's are fantastic. Used them in last 2 cars and they go on and on. Plugs work harder in modded cars, and these outlast standard plugs significantly.
 
Hi
If the car is std then normal plugs will do ;) You will gain zero in performance otherwise.
I use iridium plugs as the spark is stronger and they are less prone too have the spark affected when running high boost & compression in a tuned engine ( i think the term is spark blow out )
As mentioned std plugs with the correct gap set will produce the best results for your car.
I would not waste money on expensive plugs if i were you !!
All the best.
Cheers
 
Hi Cupra 79
I dont think there will be an up date as you cannot feel anything for just changing plugs on a std car to be honest ;)
But on a modded car you can feel if the plugs are not performing .
Cheers
 
I just want to know if nibbles got the right ones as that site above lists BKR6EIX as the plugs to get and BKR6EIX-11 3764 seems to be a different one?. :confused:
