Should I use special spark plugs?

Toyota FAQ (frequently asked questions)
Most forum members agree that the stock Champions are just as good under most conditions as considerably more expensive plugs, including Bosch Platinums. Some have said that the "performance gains" claimed by some are due only to the use of new plugs, rather than special new plugs. The best oil is synthetic - it provides more protection during cold starts, when most engine wear occurs, and is more durable than standard oils.

Does it make a difference what kind of spark plugs I use?

AquaTune.com - Frequently Asked Questions
Most definitely. We have found that the best spark plugs to use are standard copper core plugs such as Autolite. Double platinum plugs burn too cool. Standard plugs burn at a higher rate which this system needs. And, at the same time, you are saving money because the copper plugs are less expensive. In the newer vehicles Iridium spark plugs are also acceptable. See similar questions...

I. What are the part numbers and plug gap for the stock spark plugs?

Frequently Asked Questions
Both the VE and VG use the NGK plug as a stock spark plug. The VE requires a platinum plug, which can run fairly expensive, at about $9/plug. I don't have the part numbers for this plug yet. The VG also uses an NGK plug, but they are non-platinum and cost just over $1/plug. Part numbers: Standard Type BKR6ES-11; Hot Type BKR5ES-11; Cold Type BKR7ES-11; Plug Gap 0.039 - 0.043 in (1.0 - 1.1 mm). Check your coolant level. this is a common problem. See similar questions...

What spark plugs do you recommend? Do you recommend automotive spark plugs?

Electroair
You may use either the aircraft or automotive spark plugs. There are several hundred airplanes running the EIS with automotive plugs. Additionally, you must verify that the heat range of an automotive plug is correct for your engine or you risk causing severe damage. We prefer, however, the aircraft plugs as they have been designed to work with aircraft engines and do not require any modifications for installation. See similar questions...

Q14. Should I regap my Iridium spark plugs?

Spark plugs FAQ
A14. In most circumstances, no. The nature of Iridium spark plugs means that they are able to utilise a larger gap setting while actually requiring less voltage and straining the ignition system less. If you *have* to regap Iridium spark plugs then do so with extreme care. Do not use a slide type gapping tool or put pressure on the brittle centre electrode in any way as it may become damaged.

Do I have to change my spark plugs after installing the nitrous system?

FREQUENTLY ASKED NITROUS QUESTIONS
YES, Due to the increase in horsepower the nitrous system creates, the quantity of heat generated in the combustion chamber goes up. It is required that you install spark plugs that have at least two steps colder heat range. This helps to ensure detonation free performance when using the nitrous system. ZEX™ has nitrous specific spark plugs available for many makes and models of vehicles. See similar questions...
