Spark plugs - does brand matter?

[stokefan]

Hi all,

Thinking of buying my own spark plugs, would you avoid/go for a specific make?

Anyone used "Denso" spark plugs?

Cheers!

doesnt matter who makes them as long as they are the right type for the car, sorta like with drinks doesnt matter if you get robinsons or tescos own as long as its blackcurrent,

as for denso we use then all the time at work, there standard on most toyotas, and if you look in your owners manual it will probably tell you the part no for denso and ngk plugs for your engine

Ive heard Bosch plugs, wires etc are tosh from a couple of people so might be best to avoid those. If in doubt, get some from Nissan!

[59 bhp is more than enough]

apparently ngk's for jap cars and bosch for german cars work best

I recently serviced my K11 and used Champion EON 2 plugs

as long as they spark they are good but i have ngks

NGKs are reported to be the better ones..

changed from champion to NGKs the other day and the car seems to start a lot easier now

Do plugs come ready with the right gapping these days?

I use NGK. Yes most of them come with the right gap

wierd how bosch are sposed to be crap wen the ecu is bosch,i would have thought they worked best together,

i had ngk in mine

makes no difference what make they are as long as there the right tempriture range and are gapped corectly...

been as few of us on here have tuned our engine to extreams the temperature range wont matter. so buy what you want aslong as there gapped right and fit..
