Whoa...you guys are talking about running 10 range plugs on fairly stock cars. I run all 9's on my car(bur9eq). 10 is a cold plug...meaning that start up will be VERY ROUGH until you get the plugs warmed up...and with 10's...it may take a LONG while.



10's IMO would be good for a circuit car, but definitely NOT a daily driver.

Cool just wondering if I was running the right plug for my car and mods. I'm running the 9's right now so it's no big deal. I just wanted to learn something new. Thanks.

Totally true - When I switched to 10's on my very modded TII I noticed it runs like crap until I get it plenty warmed up. I always have to take it for a little drive at the Autox before my run or else it breaks up on the course.

Just remember with extremely cold plugs, the car is started and warmed up on normal plugs. Then shut down and the plugs are changed out to the cold plugs

I had some awsome fine wire plugs for the GT2 car. they were nippondenso.

i used to go in to autozone and get em. They didnt sell much and the store quit carrying them.I got the first set from ex IMSA driver and then used those. Well I ******* forgot what the code was on them.You dont see this type of plug unless some one knows.

I talked to Leonard Hughes formallyof Candies&Hughes (smoking joe camel)yesterday and he said that a fine wire plug is the way to go and just be in close to you heat range. I showed him our plugs.he said that that design wasnt as effeceint as fine wire indexed plug.It design was to compensate.

(thats why split fire is bull **** too)The spark will always got to the point of least resistance so even on our plugs it will almost always jump the same arm. If I find out I will let you guys know. maybe some one out there can search too.(Its not made for an RX7 though but its awsome)

25.00 is a bit steep, I am going to look further into getting these for cheaper. A highly modified car will run much better on the cold plugs esp. with after market coils and boxes.Anyone else?

Jims5543 , What is the difference between the EG, EVX, and EGV? Will all these plugs work with Our motor? That is what I am having a hard time figuring out, which plugs are the correct number to safely use! I think the EGV is the one we need, is that right?



Thanks for the replies.
