If you have money to burn, try the iridium plugs either from denso or ngk.

iridium will always be good but since they have a self-cleaning temp, kung di masyado modified yung sasakyan mo it might foul easily.

if you're ride is stock or semi stock, i'd suggest sticking with the stock plugs. just change them everytime you change your oil to ensure they are still functioning properly

galing ng mga sagot ni speedyfix! Kung stock or mostly stock ang makina...K.I.S.S.

keep it stock.....

even an engine with stage 1 mods (no ignition mods) would perform well enough with stock plugs. Have them changed every tune up or oil change. They're cheap to replace anyway.

agree to that... ako i was thinking the same thing, (balak ko rin magpalit ng spark plugs) stock engine ang akin (Civic 1.5 LXi), pero naisip ko baka lumakas lang sa konsumo ng gas. Kaya i-stick to stock spark plugs na lang.

it didnt make any power with Iridium after getting dyno-tuned. Iridium is over-rated for almost stock engine. Work with your internals, dyno tune, ignition upgrade, then lap them Iridium. Maybe, just maybe, you'll see a bit of a gain.

may nagbasa pa nga ako ng stock plugs is better kse they conduct more electricity 9copper di ba?) as opposed to Iridium using the simple DC electricity theory.

quote:
"... I've gotten better power out of the Iridium plugs..."
--------------------

Assuming they're both gapped properly, iridium plugs CAN'T give
any more power than regular copper plugs. They just "spark." How MUCH they spark is a function of the gap and the coil. How
WELL they spark is a function of their condition. It has nothing to do with copper vs. platinum vs. iridium. The exotic materials just
last longer -- they don't erode as quickly. If it SEEMS like you're getting more power out of iridium plugs,
it's because your old plugs were shot. ANY properly-gapped new plugs would have given you the same improvement.

great replies guys! also, don't fall for the 4 tip or twin tip plugs. in my experience, wala masyado difference ito from stock. just keep the cheap plugs in good condition by replacing them every time you have PM performed and you will be more than happy with their performance
