Where to get cheap & good spark plugs?

[Tanlc]

In term of performance-wise, the smaller the diameter the better?

 

Can Denso Iridium IK be used in Honda City iDSI?

[Vtim]

the smaller the diameter, the lesser the voltage you required to create a spark, as the voltage of your car are constant, the end result you'll get a brighter spark than those on 2.5mm diameter. Also the Iridium can last for about 30k km as compare to copper's 5k~10k km.

 

Yes, Denso IK20 is used on Honda's i-DSI engine but you'll need 8 plugs (2 set)

 

I'll PM you

[Tanlc]

DensoIK is so much expensive than Bosch Super4

 

What is the difference between IK16, IK20 and IK22?

[Vtim]

the number 16, 20, 22 are the Heat (temperature) range of the plugs that they can operate on, that's all. most NA cars can use IK16 or 20, some higher compression ratio cars need to use IK20 or IK22 especially T/C or S/C cars

 

Your car manual will state which is the correct heat range plugs to be used on your car

I hear the name OWS Uber Power going to be mentioned!

[Tanlc]

What's that?

[Genie47]

Check with Vtim on these fine Iridium plugs from Germany.

Vtim is the man on spark plugs and some technical stuff.

Bought mine from him lah.

What's special about OWS spark plugs apart from them being cheaper than their Jap cousins?

[Vtim]

for the OWS, both the center & side electrode are made of Iridium but the size of the center electrode are not 0.4mm

Don't use motorcycle ones on cars or vice versa. Use the ones for the application. PM Vtim, he got lobang for OWS Ir plugs that is cheaper than Denso or NGK. Good German stuff.

 

 

halo bro....do u know if ows got plugs for our aveo?

[Dwoon]

the number 16, 20, 22 are the Heat (temperature) range of the plugs that they can operate on, that's all. most NA cars can use IK16 or 20, some higher compression ratio cars need to use IK20 or IK22 especially T/C or S/C cars

 

Your car manual will state which is the correct heat range plugs to be used on your car

 

Bro, Can you enlighten about the thread size and reach etc.... normally, I would only hear about the heat range like IK20, IK22 etc..... but what about its other parameters? How are those classified?

 

Thanks.

u have OWS spark plugs?... im not sure but i tink our aveo uses ZX6-iK from OWS. Do help me check if you have this plugs n if they are suitable... thanks bro

[Vtim]

bro, current supplier can't supply anymore as they were also caught by the product distributor for selling the plugs over the counter cheaper than the recommended retail price

 

I'm trying to get another friend to source for me, only diff is than this other friend of my do not sell over the counter, so chances for me getting to sell again is quite good but it won't be so soon
