see if there are any threads that helps, good luck.

 

go w/ Denso or NGK

 

get NGK IX IRIDIUM spark plugs, the best plugs for performance and money that you can get.

Available at PepBoys,Ebay or the NGK website.

 

so is it best for me to use the IX iridium over Double Platinum on NGK??

thanx for all the help

 

well Iridiums do last longer and do provide a better spark.

 

Hey Teknoking, I have a '99 TLP with Header and intake. I have 59,000 miles and it's beginning to idle somewhat rough. I want to get the iridium IX. Should I get the ZFR5FIX-11 comparison to Denso IK 16 or should I go with the Denso IK 20 comparison...not sure what the item # is for this in the NGK Iridium IX. Planning on getting the UR crank pulley in the future.

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

ZFR5FIX-11 thats what im using. I prefer NGK, its your choice.

 

For a 99 TL-P you would get the IK16 equivalent plug. The IK20 is a colder heat range and is used on the Type S.

 

Thanks for your quik responses fellows!! Therefore, the colder plugs (IK 20..TLS), are used for mods such as S/C..Turbocharged & NOS. Is it safe to say that any direct bolt on mods (h/i/e/p) for the TLP should stick with IK 16/equivalent plug?

 

The general rule is to go one heat range colder for every additional 75 hp. On an TL-S, if you are supercharging or using NOS, I would go one heat range colder than the IK20 (IK24?).

On a TL-P with i/h/e/p you should probably stay with an IK16.

The easiest way to tell is to pull one of your plugs and look at the ceramic insulator. The color and condition of the insulator will tell you if the plugs are too cold or too hot. Too cold, and they won't heat up enought to be self-cleaning (the insulator will get dark from carbon). Too hot, and the insulator will be white - perhaps with small dark specs on it.

Here's a good site for reading up on this (link).

You can learn quite a bit from used plugs.

 

Here is a Do It Yourself video on how to change out the spark plugs on a j series engine on a Acura/Honda V6 engine. Hope it helps. I have aways used NGK and have been very happy with them.

 

Holy mother of thread revival badman!
