Spark Plugs on Mapped Car...

[Funkyfin2000]

Hi Peeps

Have done a quick search and found some data but thought i would ask any how and see what people thought the general concensus was...

Have a Ibiza mk3 Cupra mapped with a p-torque map.....

007 DV, Milltek Cat Back Exhaust....p torque map to about 190bhp or so....piper cross induction kit/filter....

Mods that are coming are Forge TIP, Racing Cat (Milltek) and Boost gauge etc....

I would like to know what the best plug would be out of the box and put in the car with no fiddling......

In search it seems the best and cheapest are NGK Iridiums for mapped cars available at : http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk/

But what do people think?

Cheers

Rich

[Funkyfin2000]

How much and where do you get them from for the best price David?

 

[Funkyfin2000]

thats what i'm running in mine too.
aslo wouldn't it of been better to get the cat and tip first before the map

 

[Funkyfin2000]

the cat won't be a while before its done tbh...

prob yeah, but i can have the map altered if need be...

TBH i believe its all hype...its no secret that sometimes your car requires a higher quality plug to provide the necessary spark but i've never seen any proof that the plugs a dealer provide aren't suitable for cars running more power.

I use the standard bosch plugs, i got em from ECP and cost about 15quid and havent had any problems since changing them

in the past i've heard people state they felt a notable difference from using more expensive spark plugs....unless your running big power where the ordinary plugs cannot cope then whats the point in wasting money.


just my 2 pence

 

[Funkyfin2000]

fair enuff dude!

where do people buy there plugs online then?

I have a spark plug thread also at the mo, was asking a similar question... but due to £££ I am gonan replace all 4 with the standard plugs from SEAT...

Will let you know how they are...

ive got a set of ngk iridiums (grade7) one step cooler than the std ones. local place did mine for 24quid iirc. a hell of a lot cheaper than the denso identical items.

 

[gavthelad]

yeah i would imagine that some good honest plugs will do the trick to be honest...

i bought denso IK22's and they run sweet as a nut, only reason i bought them was to stop a misfire on boost........decent higher grade plugs would have probably done the trick but i didnt want to buy twice so it wasnt money lost in my eyes.....

Denso Iridiums IK22 for me along with bolt down TT coilpacks and tescos 99 ron petrol running T8 with 0's on the timing pull, so it must help.

 

[Daz_gibbo]

NGK Platinums here. Again no Timing pull

 

[ibizacupra]

IK22's worked for me....

you will be surprised to here mine on stock bosch plugs currently.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

sorry fellas, i checked the above website and when cross reference pulg to car and it shows to use the IK20 - what made you guys go for the 22 even though they have the same gap.

thanks

 

[PhilW]

Colder plug iirc.

 

[ibizacupra]

yep colder

I have some experimental (for me) plugs from Brisk to try, just not had time to try em out yet

 

[Funkyfin2000]

i seee....

why is a colder plug better then?

will get some IK22's!
