vs
Spark plug BRISK or BERU
Stock is generally fine, however if your tracking or going through multiple heat cycles on your drives id recommend er12s from brisk. I run them and they havent skipped at beat. Intervals are shorter for changes.
Pros: havent skipped at beat
Cons: shorter change intervals
Part number: ER12S
I use brisk standard temperature. Work great
Pros: work great
I switched to brisk just because of the high amount of ngk knock offs and they are supposed to last a bit longer and or have less wear than the ngk I'm a step colder rr4ys they have been great.
Pros: great, supposed to last longer
Cons: high amount of knock offs
You get a better performance if you install a booster plug, DNA air filter and Brisk spark plugs. Great torque from 2000 rpm as a result.
Pros: great torque from 2000rpm
Vehicle:
BMW
I use a Brisk n17yc.
Part number: N17YC
Ive ran Beru ultra copper core for a couple months now and they are one step colder. I honestly dont even check gap on them and my shit runs smooth.
Pros: runs smooth
I recently took my stage 2 43K mile b8.5 s4 apart and did the PCV, water pump, thermostat, new 2 step colder brisk spark plugs gapped to .25. I took the spark plugs out and noticed heavy carbon and the ground electrode was white, even on all plugs . (20 miles on plugs)
Cons: heavy carbon, white electrode
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Mileage: 69202 km
I just run oem plugs gapped to . 024 as recommended by eqt who I'm tuned by. No knock, I had brisks and Ruths before, my car didn't really like brisks and Ruths just made it misfire closer to the 5k change out.
Pros: no knock
Cons: caused misfire
Mileage: 5000 km
Right before i changed the map I also swapped spark plugs (brisk er12s). Since it started the rough vibrating, I’ve inspected spark plugs and coil packs, changed the coil pack grounding to a ground kit, cleaned the MAP sensor, and even tried throwing some liquimoly valve clean in it.
Cons: rough vibrating
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 112000 km
Part number: ER12S
Also I would stay away from Brisk ER12 spark plugs since they require higher change intervals (And risk of damaging coil packs) @ 3-5K miles as opposed to NGK R7437-8 or NGK R7438-8 @ 10-15K miles.
Cons: higher change intervals, risk damaging coil packs
