opinion on plugs/wires needed

[muffinstar16]

Need to replace my plugs/wires as they're causing an issue.
Which ones should I get? Which ones should I avoid?

Now that my friend depends on your setup and the fuel you run. All DSMrs swear by NGKs. I run NGK wires and NGK br8es because I run fairly high boost and pump gas. My spark plug gap is .022

I run premium fuel as it is with pretty standard settings on boost and such. Plan on getting it tuned in the spring. I was told gaps from .021 to .038 I believe?

If your car is more or less stock, run BPR6ES gapped to .028. The NGK plugs that start with BR instead of BPR are NON projected plugs and they aren't the correct plugs for most DSM gasoline applications. I see more and more people mention them, I'm not sure if they're all running the wrong plugs or just forgetting the P in there.

Can't go wrong with NGks for plugs and wires and like stated above make sure to get the right plugs for your setup and you will be good

Rumor has it they help with knock by taking up less space in the combustion chamber. I found myself running a couple more degrees timing from when I swapped from the brp6es to the br8es. I've been happy with them. Just had to gap them a little tighter because I was getting spark blowout.

I use NGK wires and plugs as well, no issues. got my wires from stm.com

I switched from bpr7es to br7es and no complaints, NGK wires and plugs, stock coils. I gap them at .028 on pump and race gas ~32psi no issue, but had to reset gap to .022 with pump and methanol.

Some have better luck with the non projected plus(missing the P) as some applications get spark blowout. I too was a victim of this during high loads and high boost on e85. Switched to non projected and gapped and bit tighter to .024 and pulls great.

For stock or mild upgrades and boost I recommend BPR6ES gapped to .028 and stock NGK wires. U can get these from extremepsi or jnz tuning. I believe the latter is a few bucks cheaper.

Yes I run br8es plugs gapped to .024 as well, I also run e85 and 37-40 psi. All I was saying is there's a lot of guys on here running different and a lot colder plugs than they should be. What I mean is you don't wanna just go out and get plugs 3 heat ranges colder for your basically stock car. You want the hottest (within spec) plug and the widest gap you can work with. Of course that's gonna vary from setup to setup.

 

[muffinstar16]

Any specific NGK wires? i'm about to order all i need to fix my issues and want to make sure i order the right ones. And, if anyone has any suggestions as to WHERE to order them, that would be greatly appreciated.
