What Ibiza you got?

 

[cupra_matt]

I have IK22's in mine, just one size available i think mate.

 

[Craig1985]

Yeah got my from usa about 25quid delived!!

 

[JIMYU]

i've got ik22's also, but iirc they are a slightly cooler plug and are better for tuned ibiza's

 

[pickie]

ok cool got quite a harsh remap to 190 BHP so the IK22s ok then ?? suffer from heat soak like mad need a front mount and bigger exaust system

 

[JIMYU]

not sure tbh, I'd probably get some cheaper NKG's if I were you. I only got ik22's after going k03s because I was getting a bit of hesitation.

NGK BKR7E's for about 2 quid each are sweet. Or pay more for platimums, NGK PFR6Q's.

I ran IK22's before and liked them a lot, but they didnt seem to last that long and were pretty expensive.

I got IK22's im having a bit of trouble now with boost dropping at 4500rpm but dont know if its coils, sparks or n75 atm

 

[Damo]

I ditched my IK22's ater only doing about 4000 miles on them. Got NGK's now. If you want the Denso's go for the IK20, that's the correct grade to use. My IK22's were very dark in colour when I checked them which means they were too cold a plug.

 

[JIMYU]

were you using ik22's with k03s Damo? and did you notice any difference when you changed to NGK's?

 

[Damo]

I am indeed matey, full K03S set up.
To be honest the car ran ok on IK22's, just had the odd starting issue (wouldn't always fire up 1st time). It was just the colour of the plugs on checking them that made me decide to change them. They're not meant to be dark in colour and I just wanted to avoid any potential problems from leaving them in any longer. For the sake of £35 to relace them all, I thought it best to do it. My starting issue seems to have disappeared too, which is nice.

 

[truCido]

awww dont say things like that lol, means i'll have to take mine out

 

[Damo]

Just check them first. They're meant to be a tan sort of colour. It may not solve your problem's mentioned above but it's good to get things running as they should be.

IK20 for my car ???

im running near 200Bhp IK20 from what i read is near standard and acording to the info below for every 50 BHP over stock get a plug 1 heat range colder. so IK22 i guess is the correct option for my car ??? Denso Iridium IK22 (one heat range colder)

--Common replacements
Autolite 3923
Autolite 3922 (one heat range colder)
Denso Iridium IK20
Denso Iridium IK22 (one heat range colder)
Bosch F7LTCR
NGK BKR7E (Race plug, one range colder)
*avoid BKR7E-11 as the factory gap is too large, .042*

For every additional 50HP over stock, a general rule is:
--1 heat range colder
--gap shrinks by .004
So, a chipped 1.8T would make good use ofa plug one range colder gapped to .028

 

[Damo]

My cars running about 240bhp and the IK22's were not the correct grade.

By all means go for them if you want. I suppose you'll only be wasting £35.

You'll find quite a few people on here running similar power (if not more) and are still using the standard grade plugs. Why? Because they're the correct grade.

I too thought the IK22's would be the right option based on that same info you've given above. I tried them and they were wrong.

Your choice really mate but the advice is there to use.

 

[pickie]

ok fair anouth, if its been tested and found to be wrong then thats fine ill stick an order in for IK20s then

cheers
