dat521gatherer Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 running junk autolites at the moment on my l16 w/w53. i havent had a problem with them but plan on upgrading to some ngk's soon. Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I run BPR8ES... it's more critical what ignition you are using than what head casting. Unfortunately I just lost a nearly new set of plugs when I sent a head in for milling and forgot to take them out. So I guess I'll use a set of used Bosch Platinums I had in my 4X4 just to test fire the engine (and extract the truck from the backyard) The only thing I use Autolites for it to keep dust/dirt/moisture out of engines that aren't in cars...

dat521gatherer Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 i've had great luck with the champion truck plugs.:) Quote Link to comment
gen4maxima536 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 alright, it has some autolite 404s in it right now, but had to special order some NGKs Quote Link to comment
OL YELLER Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 usin NGK BPR6ES Runs quite well thank you Quote Link to comment
240ADAM Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I used to run NGK"s, but my Z with triple webers would foul them. So I switched to Bosch platnum 4's and I could'nt have been happier. Smoother rpm range and definely more power. They are about 6-7 bucks a peice, but well worth it in my opinion. I don't think it matters the head casting for the spark plugs. Unless its boosted.

datzenmike Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Bosch Platinum, not that they are the best but I did put them in about 5-6 ? years ago and being trouble free, I totally forgot about them. Even blew a h/g and changed it and never thought to check them. They just run and run. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Bosch Platinum, not that they are the best but ... ive run em too, didnt think the +4 was any better then the +2 though, esp for the $$$. only NGK now! :fu: or as others say "german plugs do not belong in a japanese motor" Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I've had great luck BREAKING Champions off in the heads, having Autolites back themselves out, and having Platinums of any kind fouling up. I have had zero problems with NGKs and NDs. Quote Link to comment
