14b's are really fun when you port the hell out them. You can squeeze a little more power out of the little snail...

My 14b powered car with ngks can beat your 14b powered car with your e3s

. . . The point isn't in the bench race with THIS motor series. The point is what has done better with this motor series.

so we don't try any thing new we just stick with old trusty, it may be factory recomended but it is also almost 20 years old as well, if no one has tried them what is wrong with giving them a shot?

Just get NGK plugs all the little proven stuff you see is a joke and you can never trust any of it plus NGK are great plugs. I say they are the best period.

We didn't say we havn't tried other plugs. The other plugs offerd no benefit. Some came apart. Others lead to more detonation. We went BACK to ngk. You can start off with them or use the other, at best they will do nothing better and cost more. If you're serious about believing the HP gain, then it's worth your money, I suppose.

The E3 dyno test was vs. bosch. ngk outperforms bosch too. From my personal experience. Do those plugs come with the right gap for our motors already? The gaps arn't adjustable. I thought they all came in .40" gap. Which is too much, if regular plug gapping applies here.

You can search and see all over the web that the vast majority say e3s arn't any better than any other quality plug. Also, I wouldn't trust the tv show you saw those results on since the makers of the plugs sponsored it.

FYI, I run a holset. I'm not really into sticking with "old trusty"

Dont trust the counter monkey. Trust the guys who love these rides. I have seen problems with the fad plugs NGK is proven.
