Hey boys, i just bought and installed some el cheapo plugs NGK platinum BKR6EGP gapped @ .32 car is running fine so far but cant find anyone runnning these has anyone had any experience with these if so how was it?

[tamadrumr88]

I've been running BKR6E's on my chipped 1.8t for about 10k miles so far and they're still running great. I think all four ran me about $6 too

[.Mad Hatter.]

i used to run the 7E's in the summer...many run the 6's with good results.

[Jibberific]

i just installed a set of 6Es gapped to .028..... nothing cheapo about them, they're legit. and i was running 7Es in the summer and they were great too.

no point in getting the gimmicky multi-zap ultra platinum iridium kind.. these work just as good if not better

[brlukosk]

Well I just picked up some 7E's and its winter... :/

I guess we will see what happens.

[.Mad Hatter.]

i can almost guarantee a rough idle.

you may want to gap at .28

[brlukosk]

Hmm.. We'll see what happens.

I just wanted some cheap plugs to hold me over until I can wait for some 3 electrode bosch's to come in.

Cant be worse than my idle now...

It's like 40 deg outside as well...

I ran 7e's for a while, then I changed to the 6E's. I noticed smoother power engagement with the 6E's, and I ran a better time at the track w/ them as well. Whether or not that was just the plugs fault, or I learned how to drive, I don't know.

BTW I ran both gapped at 0.028"

Spark plugs confuse the crap out of me and its probably the reason my idle is so bouncy, i should really search this

NGK's the higher the number the colder the plug. Other companies do it different.

Basically, look at the ceramic tip inside the threads of the plug. That's what determines the "heat range" of the plug. If that is "blistering white" you need a colder plug. If it's brown/nasty, it's worth trying a hotter plug.

To get an idea of the part of the plug I'm describing, here's a pic. The shorter the ceramic center the colder the plug.

Mine are not the coppers? and my idle is pretty good

[Russell2686]

thanks man, i think i have 6es now, autospeed installed them ill have to pull them out and double check and check the gap

[brlukosk]

Well, I put in the 7E's and my idle improved a lot. I was running the tri-electrode bosch F6TDC's.

It turns out that my N75 to wastegate actuator hose had a huge crack in it. I replaced the hose and now the car seems to be running correctly at last.

Its interesting you mentioned the plugs being blisteringly white.. 2 of the F6's I pulled out were a bit white, and the other two were brown.

I run the ngk pfr7b's. Been very happy with them. Use them all year.

[black99.5a4]

i have bkr7e's and its already snowed here in pa.. car runs great, idles fine, and very smooth throughout.

[brlukosk]

Nice.

So far the car seems to idle like a BAMF.

I'm happy so far.

[pho1n1x]

Yeah, the temperature around here is hovering in the mid to low 30s and I'm running 7es w/o any issues at all

[maxspeed]

10 - 20 degrees and my idle went to crap with the 7e's, i swear my car likes autolite's the best lol
