Spark plug NGK or OEM BMW
oh i have an APR chip, N75 H valve, GHL CAI, forge turbo inlet pipe, evo ms diverter, ngk spark plugs (the smaller gap ones for chipped cars...one range colder) its also insanely cold outside now...havent diven with these mods in the cold yet....should i try the N75 J for the winter??
Gap them to 0.028 and buy NGK BKR5EKUP platinum (change around 40,000miles) or BKR5EKU for the coppers (change around 15,000 to 20,000miles), don't use any other plugs they aren't as good!
I'm using the ngk 7's in my turbo 2.0...no problems..
For real, on my 2.0T I run NGK 7E's, 2 steps colder gapped .031\"
They run real well on my ABA.
OEM plugs are NGK... they are the only ones that actually work. you can use copper over the platinums to save a few $$, but you'll be changing them more often. as for wires, the same, use OEM, I am and I have been running a stg III s/c kit...colder, but still NGKs, and BERU wires.
today I installed a NGK BK7RE to my jetta, and it feels great. I like them a lot, considdering I haven't change my stock sparks .
Spark Plugs (NGK) 7 heat range - OEM Honda Timing Belt, water Pump, oil pump, headgasket, and engine gasket set - Fuel filter - Valve Adjustment done by acura cost $175
Go with a normal plug (I run NGK) and stock wires. Oh, a lot of the hype about the Plat-4 is just that...hype. The spark is going to follow the path of least resistance. Meaning, its only going to go to one electrode at a time. Well, maybe if your engine fouls plugs, but otherwise, just get a set of OE Replacement NGK's.
Cooler plugs (NGK BP7ES) gapped first to .028, then to .025 have changed NOTHING.
