LittleBlueGT Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I am not sure I really care, but I have one step colder plugs and I get exactly the same mileage and driveability as OEM plugs even though I get -30 degree temps at times. And yes I have been driving like a granny lately cause it is too slippery. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

LittleBlueGT Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 What plugs did you have when you blew up you motor? Stock plugs, I guess that is the reason, stupid me!

LittleBlueGT Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I think according to your pics I swung, missed his head, as RC took a low blow. That means I failed, I guess.

XLeezardx Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 So your running one step colder plugs on your stock set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yes.... regular heat range plugs for Stg 2 power is fine. That's what I thought because in my research for needed parts spark plugs never directly came up. They seem to be more of a "bonus" thing and/or necessity for Stage 2.5+. I do live in Nebraska and we get sub-20 sometimes, I'd be worried running 1 step colder plugs as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Don't worry about it. 1 step colder won't hurt anything. Ambient temperature really doesn't have any effect on fouling. If all you do is sit in traffic with the engine idling then running 1 step colder plugs might increase the possibility of fouling, but even then you likely still be fine. Once you get up to speed and even just cruising for any length of time, the EGT's are plenty hot enough to get even colder plugs up to their self cleaning temp.

2006Specb122 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Removing the Coil pack. If you have the right tools, the actual spark plug comes out and goes back in easy.

2006Specb122 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I've heard a lot of talk about ECU, REFLASH, and UNMARRY, and putting maps back on, while doing spark plugs. I don't think spark plugs have anything to do with your AP or anything. Am I wrong? I guess everyone was just talking about something else... please clarify...

2006Specb122 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I like spark plug.com but I put in my car and the part numbers they showed weren't even close..... http://www.sparkplugs.com/results_app.asp?productTypeID=1&AAIA=1433177 According to sparkplugs.com the Spec B doesn't even use NGK... what do you think? ILFR7H I searched their site and these were available for 11 and change. This was the part number I found on that link that talked about how this was the NEW part number and LONGER LASTING and that the other part is obsolete now. Comments?

Boostjunkie Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 ILFR7H is an NGK part number. I believe the ILFR7H is the replacement for the LFR7AIX and is supposed to be longer lasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 ILFR7H is an NGK part number. I believe the ILFR7H is the replacement for the LFR7AIX and is supposed to be longer lasting. Are you sure on that plug? Everything I found from a quick search idicates the ILFR7H plug being a Evo VIII/IX application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Sorry for the noob question guys. Looked up the plug info in the vaca pix. It lists as NGK-ILFR6B with a 0.7-0.8mm gap. When I looked up this number on Amazon (I have a gift card) they said it's not compatible with the '06 LGT. I'm sure its a mistake on their part, but I just wanted to verify that people who want OEM plugs should use this part number. I have no need to go a step colder as I will be stock power until 60k.

CTATV Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 subscribe, i gotta change my plugs next week. why did you you go one level colder may I ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derffred Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I got owned by replacing my spark plugs last night... Took me three hours, a lot of aggravation, and I now have a misfire on cylinder 3 I drove home from work last night with my car missing like crazy. I don't have time to fix it until at least Sunday.

derffred Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I got owned by replacing my spark plugs last night... Took me three hours, a lot of aggravation, and I now have a misfire on cylinder 3 I drove home from work last night with my car missing like crazy. I don't have time to fix it until at least Sunday. Okay, today after work, I immediately started working on my car, removed the cylinder 3 (passenger rear cylinder) coil, suppressor, and spark plug, inspected it all and confirmed everything was okay. But, the problem with the installation was, the suppressor (rubber boot from coil to spark plug) wasn't on the spark plug, it was sitting underneath it. So, a word of advice for anyone who's going to do this is, look into the spark plug hole with a mirror to make sure it's lined up with the spark plug nice.

mccorry Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 That is the hardest part of the job, IMHO. Getting #3 spark plug boot back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadvw Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Is #3 the back plug, driver's side? I'll agree. I found I could just barely squeeze a finger in there to check that it was on. Also, when it's on right, you'll hear a "plop" if you pull it out an inch or two. If it's NOT on, it won't plop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deer Killer Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 If it doesn't go on with little to no pressure, it's not on.. I almost thought I cross-threaded the plug at first, ugh. IMHO #4 is more of a challenge, but hopefully you got practice on #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy05 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Just be careful with the coil pack plug, I broke the little tab off of one oops ... anyone have a spare wire harness? heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
