Does iridium spark plugs make a difference?
Does iridium spark plugs make a difference?
Iridium is said to be six times harder and eight times stronger than platinum with a 700° higher melting point. Iridium spark plugs have extremely fine electrodes while retaining excellent wear characteristics. Thanks to its strength, iridium spark plugs can last up to 25% longer than comparable platinum spark plugs.
Are iridium spark plugs good for performance?
Iridium spark plugs give you even better gas mileage, performance, reliability, and longevity than double-platinum plugs. Due to the advanced material and innovative technology integrated into iridium spark plugs, these plugs are priced higher than copper and platinum options.
Do iridium spark plugs give more power?
Iridium plugs take less voltage to fire which results in more coil dwell time. That translates to better combustion, lower emissions, better fuel economy and more horsepower. Lower your costs. It’s true – buying an upgraded plug does cost more than a basic spark plug.

Which is better NGK platinum or copper spark plugs?
Their longevity is less than iridium plugs, but more than copper ones. With most makers you can expect some 50-60 000 miles out of them. Why? Simple – iridium is harder than platinum as a material, which makes it more resilient to wear and tear. Platinum spark plugs have two kings. One is NGK’s G-Power I’ve recommended for some Toyotas.
Which is the best type of spark plug?
Iridium spark plugs are globally the best performance category of spark plugs having superior technology. These spark plugs use very precious Iridium metal at the tip of center electrode of diameter 0.6mm. and has a thermo-edge design for central electrode.
How big is the gap on NGK 6994 spark plugs?
NGK 6994, laser iridium are the OEM spec, dont forget to gap them, and no they are not pre gapped, all plugs need to be checked, unless its a dual prong or weirder setup electrode, dont quote me as im going from memory but I think the gap us suppose to be 0.039″ to 0.043″ Click to expand… RockAuto says their gap size is already at 0.044″.
What are the main advantages of the NGK spark plugs?
- consistent production of optimal combustion. Fully functioning spark plugs equate a fully functioning combustion system.
- better fuel economy. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence says misfiring spark plugs can reduce fuel efficiency by 30%.
- smooth and energetic starts.
- less harmful emissions.
What spark plugs are best?
The best spark plugs are the NGK 2667 BKR7EIX, which are designed for those wanting maximum performance from an iridium spark plug. The health of the spark plug is linked to the performance of the engine and as shown in the image above, they can become damaged easily.
