GB: [QLD] NGK Iridium spark plugs - Another Twiggy Special!
would anyone be interested in a purchase of NGK iridium spark plugs?
this is the plug details : Quote:
also, i'll be getting the "extended electrode" model. what that means is that the spark is located further down in the cylinder and therefore should yield a bit more power as the spark is closer to the middle of the chamber and ignites the fuel and air quicker (ie not as far to the furtherest part of the cylinder). also, you'll get a tiny tiny bump in compression ratio. from say 9.7:1 to 9.71:1 price will be apx $49 for 4. slightly cheaper than the last ones i sold due to the better exchange rate. price includes postage to you. |

will fit all models, yes - v6 included.
you can double check here : http://www.ngk.com.au/PartFinder/spa...amp;Make=Mazda whatever suits part no BKR#EIX-11 or ZFR#EIX-11 - the # is the heat range. 5 being the hottest. the higher the number the colder the plug. all of our NA engines here can handle 5 heat range. i have 6 heat range at the moment in my car and works fine, but will try 5 next to see which is the best heat range for my engine |

yeah the ones i'll actually be getting is the ZFR#EIX-11. the ZF means the extended electrode which is a better idea. will work the same as the BK so no need to worry about that
so anyway, i'll start a list : 1. twilightprotege - 4 x heat 5 2. chicaboo - 4 x heat 5 3. SehnKhan - 4 x heat 5 rupe does that mean you're after some? |

I'll get 6x Iridium Option BKR6EIX-11(not for a astina for a R31), maybe 10 (extra 4 for the astina) depending on the cost per item at the end.
Whats the difference between ZFR and BKR if it works the same??? Theres got to be some sort of difference besdie a extended electrode.

ok, i'll break down the cost a little more than $49 for 4.
price per plug $10 shipping cost to oz and to you $9. mizda - the BK's look like this : the ZF's look like this see how the tip in the second one is higher than the first? that just makes the spark further down into the combusion chamber which i beleive is a better design. sehnkhan - i can. mazdabator - will fit the BPT yes, and turbo i'd suggest 1 or 2 heat ranges colder so you help reduce pre-detonation. and buy will happen in a week or 2 i guess. depends on interest. if you want 7 heat range it's only avail in the BK. all - here's an explaination on heat ranges and other plug tech : http://www.ngk.com.au/tech_content.html 1. twilightprotege - 4 x heat 5 ZF 2. chicaboo - 4 x heat 5 ZF 3. SehnKhan - 4 x heat 5 BK 4. mizda - 10 x heat 6 BK 5. boosted - 6 x heat 6 ZF 6. sabrelli - 4 x heat 5 ZF everyone just double check the above |

Say I didn't know what sparkies I need, where would I find out?
I have a 96 BA V6, which came with platinum ones and I've been quoted a fair bit higher than $10 each. So upgrade for less, ummm yeah I think I'll do it if they fit. |

Can u put me down for 4 x heat 5 ZF
So 5 is the hottest u can get cause i remember my car runs kind of rich so a hotter than standard plug would probably be better. I think ive got 6 in it atm and its due for new plugs, nice timing twilight. |

G'day Andy
I'm interested too.. the AUS website says Iridium Option BKR6EIX-11 1.1, I'm assuming the ZF units can be purchased too? I'd assume also that heat range 6 would be the only available unit?? Quote from the NGK Website.. Quote:

Interestingly I looked up the Mazda 323 Astina Owners Manual (1997 - 8M37) and it quotes the following:
1.6 & 1.8 lt engines NGK BKR5E-11 2.0 lt engines NGK BKR6E-11 Gap for both plugs is quoted at 1.1 +0.0/-0.1 mm I am interested in a set but now am unsure which heat rating is most applicable |
