Prefered Spark Plugs?
Just wondering what everyone prefers as far as spark plugs go.
Please note if they are N/A motors or Blown to help keep things straight. Thanks Mark |
NGK 5673-8 in a blown application.
NGK BR6FS in the little Pachanga |
AC Delco MR41T in N/A
|
I have been running A/C Rapid Fires in the Baja for years. I have had good luck with them. They are part #1
|
Mine had the NGK 5673-8 plugs in it when I bought it but they were a bit cold for the way i run. I switched to NGK UR5 plugs but I don't run the boat hard. By the way, we dyno'd the first engine with the UR5's and it made 681@5600 with 7 lbs. boost.
Mark, are you interested in trying my Thunderbolts with the V-6 modules? I'll even deliver them if you and Patti can take a break and go to the Oven Grinder for dinner. |
NGK V7 N/A 502
|
NGK UR5's in my 525SC. They are the same heat range as an AC 41.
I had good luck with the Rapid Fire #1's in an n/a 454. Same heat range as an AC 43. They just don't make them cool enough for the 525SC. |
What about Bosch plugs?
|
Thanks Guys, Just wanted to see what everyine was using I've used AC and Ngk's
Dave, The numbers look good on the dyno.!!!! I got my motor back and it's ready to go back in the boat. Just need to touch up some paint and polish the valve covers and intake. I would like to try the V6 modules. I won't need them til summer. Are you coming in for the COPs party on the 3rd? Mark |
Denso Irridiums. . .Expensive at $12 each but they are the best. BTW, Denso makes NGK's.

blow 468 running autolite 144 plugs, they give a good read
|
Mark, I don't know yet if we'll be there. I'll let you know.
I'm not going to run the engines at that power output. I'll drop the boost down to 3 lbs, whish should give my around 575 h.p. But it sure sounds nice at 7 lbs. It idles at 800 no-load on the dyno, and at 575 h.p. I should be able to run 65 mph. |
NGK all the way. BR6FS

BPR6FS N/A 600hp. I never had a problem with NGK, tried others but changed back again.

Re: Prefered Spark Plugs?
NGK UR-5 - 383 N/A stroker small-blocks.
Having a hard time finding the UR-5 plugs lately. Discount Auto (Florida) alwas had a load of them in stock, but since Advance bought out Discount Auto, they lightend up their NGK line. |
Re: Prefered Spark Plugs?
What's the difference between a 5671 series NGK and a 5673 series???
I currently run 5671-8 in my Eickerts...Just Curious... |

Re: Prefered Spark Plugs?
I recommend what ever is on sale that has the correct reach and heat range.
|
Re: Prefered Spark Plugs?
I'm using mr43's in a n/a 540. I'd switch to a bosch platinum if I could cross reference the number.

Re: Prefered Spark Plugs?
I have found that AC plugs hold up better in a blown application than ANY OTHER BRAND. The Platinum plugs fail under the first hint of detonation and I believe they are the first cause of detonation in a blown motor. Now in the marine industry we only play with 5-psi to 8-psi of boost but the AC plugs (not rapid-fire) hold up very well in applications with 19-psi to 22-psi of boost. been there done that don't want to do it again.
