Titanium spark plugs

[gtb36]

whats the best spark plugs been told Titanium spark plugs are best

[Koom]

Iridium or Platinum. Haven't heard of Titanium being used for sparkplugs?

[Guest boostcut]

titanium, ;D next it will be plutonium...

or uranium

[Koom]

Mercury.

[Guest boostcut]

shit just got real.

[gtb36]

come on guy's what the best

i got told to buy the cheapest spark plugs on the market coz subarus dont run the iridiums very well

[Koom]

Only issue I've had with iridiums was the spark blowing out at 22psi with a 0.76mm gap. Once down to 0.6mm they still worked even when we accidentally ran 30psi through it.

They last for ages too.

In the suby i'll probably run Iridiums when it comes to changing... however i prefer NGK coppers to either iridium or platinum... i believe these to have a bigger more efficient spark... but only last 5000km's..

Titanium has a conductivity of 3.1% that of copper...

I have also read this same thing. Whats the price difference between the two? Would it be a saving by going with the copper over the long run?

I would go with platinum, theyre what they come out with from the factory with (as far as I know), I had irridiums in my gtb before I had platinums fitted and the second turbo would'nt come on in 1st gear, strange I know.......and the platinums are meant to be good for 100kms (so they say).

Like $6 vs $25 to $30... but coppers don't last too long. In my previous skylines (gtst's) i only ever run NGK Coppers gapped to 0.8 for fatter spark to avoid detonation.. may have been just placibo, but seemed to run smoother with the coppers.. this is however only MY opinion.

haha ok we'll go with Gallium then. One higher up the list

[Guest boostcut]

just get some glow plugs in there. might have to make a bush tho, to go from 9/16 unf to 10mm haha

[Koom]

Weld the hole and re-tap it?

[Guest boostcut]

yeah, or just hammer it in. then weld the glow plug in the hole.

Buy standard NGK plugs and check/regap/replace them every 10,000k will be better and cheaper than spending money on shiney metal.

I struggle to change oil that often. Having to replace plugs more than once a year would just piss me off. The extra money spent on decent plugs more than makes up for itself in not having to think about them between rebuilding the entire engine itself....

[Guest]

I've made up my mind now... NGK coppers it is for me... change once a year all good.. i do around 10k a year. Just read one of my old posts on my old skyline site... turns out i bagged the hell out of iridiums back then coz the car felt like it lacked boost until i took peoples advice and turned to the coppers... so around $30 a year to have decent more reliable spark is pretty good considering thats pretty much the price of a single platinum.. each to their own but do some research before bagging coppers.. the others arn't any better apart from lasting longer.

Isn't that about the same as saying that one chick isn't any better than the other except that she swallows and loves atm? haha
