Do high performance spark plug wires make a difference?
Running on bad spark plugs or spark plug wires can end up using more fuel. High-quality wires will allow the spark plugs to start faster and keep your engine running more effectively. Save money. Routinely swapping out your spark plug wires can save you cash.
What spark plugs should I use for best performance?
- Editor’s Pick: Denso Platinum TT Plug.
- NGK V-Power Spark Plug.
- ACDelco Professional Iridium.
- ACDelco Professional RAPIDFIRE.
- Champion Copper Plus.
- Motorcraft Spark Plugs.
- NGK Laser Platinum.
How long do NGK Iridiums last?
NGK gives them a life expectancy of 40-50k miles. But they have to temper their projections as driving conditions and motor modifications differ. Typically we have found you can expect 60,000 to 80,000 miles on an unaltered motor. NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plugs have iridium center and a platinum ground electrodes.
What type of threads are used in NGK spark plugs?
Identifying NGK Spark Plugs
| Letter | Thread | Pitch |
|---|---|---|
| C | 10mm | 1.00mm |
| D | 12mm | 1.25mm |
| E | 8mm | 1.00mm |
| G | PF 1/2″ pipe |
Is it OK to use Iridium spark plugs?
Yes, iridium spark plugs increase performance in that they produce enough sparks to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the ignition system. Using a correctly gapped spark plug and a new one inhibits early combustion or even skipped firing, which may end up damaging the engine.
What makes NGK Ignition wire sets so good?
NGK ignition wire sets are engineered to meet strict OEM tolerances using variable pitch wire winding, creating resistance to radio frequency interference. Providing superior quality, noise suppression, durability and conductivity, NGK wire sets cover more than 98% of vehicles on the road today. Superior firing and fuel savings
What makes NGK spark plugs last so long?
The one-piece suppressor seal blocks radio frequencies that can prevent the vehicle’s electronics. The Sparkplugs from NGK are of iridium making them last for long. The spark plugs also get excellent combustion properties allowing them to be of use for many miles to come.
What’s the difference between nickel and nickel spark plugs?
It is a quarter size when compared to a conventional nickel electrode. It has an ultra-small diameter of the electrode at the center, which reduces the requirement of the voltage and extends the life of the ignition system. With the new metal shell plating, there has been an enhancement of anticorrosion qualities.
