AVOID Densos
NGK-R are what i use now after 3 out of 4 of my densos broke their ceramics and did a lot of internal engine damage!
several Denso users on 1.8t's seem to have suffered the same fate..
i will never use them again. they do not stand by their products

Used Denso for ages here with no issues at all. Also used on the race car for a year inc the 24 hour race. Did have one issue with them fitted to a corrado, but that was because the piston fell apart and fooked the plug. NGK's also work very well and had no issues with them either.
i too had used denso ik22 for years..
never again... more than a few suffer the same ceramic breaking and subsequent damage on these. they are not robust enough
correct heat range choice is key of course, but denso when speaking with them would not guarantee a plug for my own motor, which says a lot to me.. drag racers wont touch them either these days, and broken ceramics is the common thread
beware of your choice

where can i get some of the ngk-r plugs from? do you have a part number? car is now back on the road now so im goin to start treating it
I had an IK22 come loose in it's ceramic. I only noticed because the pressure passing through the plug was popping the coil pack up.
I put it down to them being old and ordered a new set.

I wont touch denso now.. they dont stand by their products when push comes to shove.
NGK for me now - after failed denso's have cost be a head and valve set.

Just putting a set of NGK BKR8EIX in. Running water/methanol. Should I gap to 28thou or 30thou?
Edit: I think I'll go for 0.028"

I run Denso IK01-24's to good effect, it's the plug used by most of the WRC cars,
http://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/pages/database/plug-detail-ccp.asp?partno=IK01-24
the downside? they are "reasuringly" expensive............
(just be glad you've only got a 4 cyl, we also ran these plugs in the V12's, now that could really bankrupt you!
