spark plugs

[Shimian]

Hey,

What can go wrong when changing to aftermarket spark plugs? I dont mean as in installing it incorrectly.

cheers

Your plugs are aftermarket. Honda doesn't make spark plugs. They use either NGK or Denso iridium.

If you use the wrong plugs you usually have;
- startup problems
- may get premature ignition/detonation
- car may not start
- fuel economy goes crazy
- car drives/ idles funny

Effects? can case engine damage or just be a pain in the A$$

just wondering if another effect of wrong plugs could be no fuel delivery?

seems my plugs fail every 3000kms
or goes shanky cos the fuel seems to be "choking"

Shouldn't be.... the fuel pump runs off a separate circuit, and the injectors are located in the intake manifold anyway, not in the cylinder head.

Effects of boost, running too rich, fouls the plugs real quick.
That's why most boosted car run copper plugs and change them very often.
I rem my old car killed the platinum ones in under 2,000km.
If you get the car tuned for the plugs you shouldn't have as much issue though.

Yeah as arrong said, fuel is different, but your prob not sparkign the fuel due to your plugs fouling and its flooding the engine

as said,even honda uses aftermarket plugs.

just make sure you get the right model number of plug,examples (these are not for your car,unless im phsycic) - bkr5es,bpr6ey
getting the wrong one will give you different heat range (the number in the model number) or different thread or length....all bad things

[Shimian]

yes sorry, i meant to say stock spark plugs not aftermarket.
cheers guys

Just wondering if anyone has experienced BRISK Premium LGS? Looking to install some on my FD2

Stick with the known brands.
NGK, Denso, Bosch.

They have performance ranges also

I know for a Fact that you shouldnt Use Octain booster (any kind) on NGK Iridium plugs for honda. It will just make the plugs fail and u will need new ones.

serious question... please elaborate? curious how it fouls the plugs

I use nulon octane booster once every 3-6months with my BKR6EIX-11s gapped beyond the 11 (1.1mm)


and will this 'fouling' be the same if i used those octane booster tablets? those things are good enough even to bump maybe 2oct on the std 92oct considering 95/98oct shortage.... and ~$25 for octane booster enough for one tank ain't worth the ~7oct gain....
