spark plugs
 
What are the best spark plugs to use in 2002 hp 500

Strip Poker 388 04-23-2015 12:00 PM

I run AC R42ts in my 500efi's, and they are cheap

CIG3 04-23-2015 01:25 PM

I like NGK R5674-7 but AC R42TS is a good plug. If your going to use the AC use the MR42TS as it is coated and won't rust up over the season.

They only work if you have the magnetic conditioner on your fuel line.

my brother,s daughter,s boyfriend installed a set of e3 plugs in his fountain[hp500] and gained 12 mph!

In case anyone is wondering, the OP's question has been answered, thus the derail.

I have two vehicles that come in my shop that have these.

Interesting enough, they are both older Toyota Tundra's.

Combine the Splitfires, Magnetic Conditioner, and 104+ Octane Boost and you will not be able to keep drives on your boat.

Bosch super 4 eliminates the need to index as they always right no matter where they end up. I put those in and fastened the bilge blower hose to the top of the carb, 15mph all day.

My last boat, I hooked up my stereo amplifiers (2 x 4 channel amps) to my ignition system.

The louder you played the stereo, the faster the boat went.

I couldn't play any techno deep bass type songs though, each time the bass hit hard, the boat would accelerate. Made things a little too jerky.

Made docking or tying up a beatch.

E3 spark plugs and a qt slick 50 in the oil at every oil change and a pint of STP in between oil changes. The engine will not only be faster it will last forever.

what happened to those 80's and 90's snake oils & fuel adds.

Those are the plugs the Cig & Apache guys must use....... Now it makes sense to me.

SB 04-24-2015 06:54 PM

Actually, Here's a rare known secret for making Apache's faster:

I removed my plugs and just stuck the plug wire ends in thru the spark plug hole. Gets the spark directly in the cyls w/o having to pass thru current robbing sparkplugs. Eliminate the middle man! Plus I no longer have that resistance of the piston to come to the top during the comp stroke. Motors spins easier and faster now. = faster rpms = faster mph

Pliant 04-24-2015 10:53 PM

Ok well .....what if you add a blower.....or three...Long reach or.......platium to avoid a melt down. Very confusing

Speedracer29 04-25-2015 06:31 AM

Any of you guys switch over to glow plugs? I hear it really bumps up the torque, but I'm not sure my Alpha drive on my 454 can handle the increase.....

VoodooRob 04-25-2015 07:40 AM

50/50 Mix of diesel and gas will bump compression.
