Now we have tested the Denso IK24 spark plugs.
We tested a set on my friends car with same mods on the engine as i have..


We tested before and after changing on the same road and same time almost tested then drove back to change and then tested so the testing condions should be the same with both sets of plugs..

First with the old Bosch OEM plugs that was in the engine, then we changed
to the Denso IK24 Plugs.

Times logged with Racelogic Performance Box.


First intervall test 100-150 km/h
Bosch OEM plugs: time was ~4,2 sec.
Denso IK24 plugs: time was ~4,8 sec.

We also tested 80-120 km/h
Bosch OEM ~2,3 sec.
Denso IK24 ~2,8 sec.

We also logged the Lambda, Timing and Ignition and so..
With Vagcom and it shows that the Denso IK24 backed the Ignition almost all the way thrue the revs when doing pulls..

The bosch ones didnt and they are old and from when the engine was new??


A strange thing is that the engine felt like it was running smother and better both on idle and when pulling. Butt the Vagcom logs and Racelogic logs show different ??


Does someone know any good plugs that is tested and logged to be better then the OEM Bosch on the 2.0tfsi (BWJ) ?

Appreciate all the help or tips we can get.. :)



We have tested earlier these ones.
NGK BKR7EIX, BKR8IEX, BKR6EIX and also some OEM NGK that was on the new engine when we changed it after the camfollower fail.

Also some NGK Racing/Vpower 7 and 8.
just can remember the number on them.

Also some bosch platinum and silver.

and it seems like the best plug is the OEM bosch ones??

Or
Lamborghini pearl white?
Or
Scirocco Pearl green?
or

Will anyone look at your car and say it’s been sprayed Lamborghini / Koenigsegg pearl white? Seems like allot of expense and time imo.

Black wheels and white callipers do look good.

Loving the build so far, keep up the good work :)

The white callipers may look out of place, with green body work and black wheels.

Have you decided to go with the green then? – it will definitely be different for sure.

It’s all about personal taste when it comes to wheels, and what works for you.
Might we worth trying to photoshop some on before you buy. You could try the same with the green body shell.

This will be one of the most sorted Cupra’s on here once completed. :)
