Spark Plugs for Cefiro???????

[wayne28]

Hi guys I hope you can help me on this... what kind of spark plugs can I use for my 97 cefiro(VQ 20 engine) and does it have any specific type?

[userfriendly]

If memory serves, its factory equipped with iridium plugs that are supposed to last 100,000 kms. Or was it 80,000 kms? I cant remember the plug number. I do know that you can replace them with ordinary plugs, yun nga lang they wont last as long as iridiums.

[non-vtec]

use the OEM platinum plugs or if there's a Denso Iridium Plug that is compatible with your VQ. Though you can use ordinary plugs, the hassle of removing the intake manifold just to replace the plugs every 10,000kms isn't worth it.

What is the difference between platinum and iridium? I asked an auto supply along jp rizal just this morning and was surprised to know the difference of prices between the 2 plugs. ordinary plugs are priced at 90php each platinum at 175php each while iridium is 650php each. are platimun plugs good enough? how long does platinum plugs last compared to ordinary and iridium?

Ako for my Sentra GS 2005 model I'm using the Original Nissan NGK Spark Plugs. Here is the part number 22401-20J05.

usually advice ko use platinum spark plug for cefiro ... ordinary spark plug won't do ... just buy ngk planitum or bosch platinum any would do ....

22401-20J05 ... can't be used for cefiro ... cefiro has its own original spark plug ... kasi mas malakas yung makina kaya iba yung specs nito ...

NGK and bosch platinum is around 140 per piece ..... yung original is about 200+

[speedyfix]

we normally use the bkr 6e plugs from ngk without any problems. no need to spend extra since they are easy to replace anyway...

[wayne28]

I called up NGK and Bosch they told me that I should use PFR6G11(NGK) or FR6DPP33x(Bosh) for my cefiro. They are platinum plugs with Automakers specs but the problem is the price. NGK cost around 460php per piece while bosh is 350php per piece both plugs can be used up to 100thou km. is there any other cheeper platinum plugs available in the market for VQ 20 engines? Nga pala 97 nissan cefiro VQ20 engines have timing belt or timing chain?

Go for the NGK plats (PFR6G-11). P460.00* is already good given that you don't have to change anymore for the next 100,000km. That saves you on labor for 10 changes and 60 sets of plugs.

Where did you canvass this? The price is quite good already at P 460* IMO.

[wayne28]

Called up NGK talked to this japanese guy and he told me to call one of their distributors in paco manila, so i did then the guy i talked to (dick) gave me the price. Same story with bosch except the dude in bosch is not japanese and the distributor is in binondo.

[speedyfix]

you really wanna keep you plugs in the engine for 100k kms? i sure wouldn't... changing regularly is better than keeping them in for that amount of time.

i am using denso iridium on my a32. bought it from von of autocircuit.

[non-vtec]

aceshark,

was there a difference in performance? idling? fuel efficiency? I want to install iridiums on my cefiro.

[aceshark]

difference? parang same lang. kasi yung pinalitan ko is yung factory plugs pa na platinum. kahit nga nung napalitan ko ng aftermarket air intake (cone type) parang ganun pa rin. gumanda lang tunog pagpinapatay mo makita, ala Darth Vader. siguro kapag may budget na ako for full exhaust, malamang mararamdaman ko na increase. balitaan kita. medyo mahal kasi e. pautang? hehe.

[banawe]

mahal naman yung ngk plantinum ... just use ngk BKR6EGP pwede na yun 150 per piece ... or bosch na 78FDX 135 per piece

[wayne28]

How sure are you na compatible yung ganung plugs para sa VQ20 engine?
and gaano katagal yung life nung plugs? up to how many km?
