January 30th, 2007 01:20 PM #1peeps, started a new thread for us vvti owners. balak ko sana upgrade yung stock denso spark plug ko to the much expensive denso spark plug (much thinner carbon tip) for my 2.7 vvti fort. php 600/pc and every 6 months daw ang palit. nakita ko yung comparison sa demo nila, mas steady nga ang electricity ng thinner carbon tip. mas maganda daw ang combustion kaya titipid daw ang gas consumption. worth it ba?

Hindi ba Denso Iridiums ang stock sparkplugs ng Fortuner VVTi?
Yung Rav4 & Camry (and most Lexus vehicles) naka Denso Iridiums (OE) na... according to the manual it is good for 100K km... according to the manual in the US and the Denso Iridium website it is good up to 120K miles (that is 192K km). Several Rav4 owners abroad have reported of the minimal wear & tear of their iridiums ever after logging between 60-135K miles on their vehicles.
Btw, stick to the OE spark plugs on your vehicle... spark plug upgrades are a costly hit-and-miss experiment.

January 30th, 2007 09:46 PM #4my car is an altis 1.6J. any body there who could share their fuel consumption in terms of km/lit both under city driving and highway driving. i bought mine last dec. 2005. so far my best effeciency record is 13. 5 km/lit on highway driving. I wonder how my car would compare with other altis cars with the same engine.

I have the 1.6E Altis (2006) here's my consumption:
All-city (heavy traffic + short distance travel) = 7-8 km/l
Mixed City and Highway = 10km/l
All highway = 14.5 km/l
14.5km/l so far is the best I've got with speeds 80-120kph
I did only 13.5km/l when I drove 150kph sa NLEX.

I was once attracted to using Iridum plugs since the ads were boasting about fuel efficiency but according to reviews I've read wala nman daw difference sa performance AND fuel efficiency. The only advantage of using these plugs is its durability.

Uber expensive plugs are practically useless on stock vehicles. Talo ka pa sa cost. Stick to OEM.
