Che'_Moderator Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 mer how do i torque them down i dont want to risk something ←21 ft/lb is what I torque mine to. I also use anti seize paste. Be careful with the iridiums as they have a habbit of exploding into the engine :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay13 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Take them back to where you got them and get a refund, then go buy OEM or champion coppers if you have a turbo, and if you have an NA then use the Volvo OEM multi prong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bay13 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 They tend to break, the ceramic part, if that happens and it gets down in your engine you could scrape the walls of your cylinder bad. This is all COULD stuff. There was a thread not long ago in the performance section about these super plugs, it didn't read well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappo Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I was also thinking of going with Iridium, but I haven't heard anything really good about them on here. I see that IPD has changed the brand they carry, possibly because of these issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Che'_Moderator Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I had 2 denso do that and one NGK. I have seen several friends with the same problem. My AF is dead on and egts are always under 1350. No other plug has ever done that to me >< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T5BRICK Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 i agree, the plugs really aren't worth what they cost. i did see a small improvement in gas mileage, but i have no idea how old the previous plugs were.when it's time to get new plugs, or maybe even next time i'm at GI Joes, i'm gonna pick up some Bosch Coppers.

Must have a rail gun powering those. I actually suggest gapping down on a high boost app with oem coils. Something like .025 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
