Spark plug NGK or OEM Audi
28R, NGKBKR7Es - 0.028" Change every 8K miles. Only $2.30 a piece, and I run lots of race fuel
using the BKR7E for the past 6 months without problems.
Spark Plug Gap - Measuring and Adjusting NGK - BKR5EKUP
My personal preference is NGK's, I run em in everything I've ever owned. They seem more reliable, and last longer.
my 570+whp civic buddy terry couldnt get past 574whp... the plugs he was running, bkr7e race plug, had alittle brown speckle and melted the number 3 plug. after letting the car cool down for 30 mins or so, instead of retarding timing to run more boost he slaped in a set of ngk r5672a-9 plugs... and upped the boost 2psi from 27psi to 29psi... and BAM!!!!! 616whp.
Same plugs I'm currently running - used them with my Jacobs ignition, and they work like a champ.....
NGK v-power's. they are the entry level plug but they work awesome. there's no real need to get super pimp plugs though, i mean, it's not like they are going to add 10hp or anything
I have had no problems using the NGK BKR5EKU plugs. I do not spend the extra money for the platinum version. The copper plugs are fine.
On a stock or chipped VR, the NGK platinum OEM plugs (BKR5EKUP) are pretty good. I have tried the Bosch F6DTC (16V copper plugs) and NGK R5671A-7 (copper) for about 10K and 6K miles respectively on my supercharged VR and both seem equally good.
I was running the junky ford plugs with little to no issues and switched to those NGKs and now I will actually foul a plug in warmup. This has never happened before and I would venture to say they are my least favorite plugs at this time. I have never had these issues until the NGKs.
