I'll be doing a tune up (dist o ring, seafoam, oil, plugs, and plug wires) this weekend..what plugs and wires do you guys use? What gap? .040?

 

i just searched this last night. im stock so my wires, cap and rotor will be factory replacements i will try to find good deals online though. NGK seems to be the plug of choice but i would like to hear more from people who use E3 spark plugs

 

E3 is junk!! NGK is as good as it gets for just about anything.

E3 is just a sales ploy just like split fire which never work any better than oem.

 

sounds like NGK gets the win.

 

oem wires for sure and ngk plugs .. at 600 rwhp i personally have zero ignition issues

 

what is the oem wire used? i looked up oem wires on a wholesale lexus parts site and there were several options

 

X2. And which type of plugs are best? Iridium, platinum, double platinum? It can all get very confusing.

 

Platinum preferred, Iridium if you're boost or don't mind spending $50 or so on spark plugs

 

For boost I loved ngk 3330's. They are a copper plug and changed every two oil changes. No problems what so ever at 21PSI

 

I just used the toyota plugs Denso..i didnt want the NGK - PK20R8 or BKR6EP-8 if i wanted platinum ones. (for the 1jz)
But unless you have a need to.. just use the plugs designed for the car which come pregapped meaning dont touch them.

 

What about bosch iridiums? I don't mind gapping them, I just wanna know what's the best for my stock ge

 

In this case simple is better as NGK copper will be just fine and the exotic matreals are more for dealers to advertise lower maint costs when the car was new such as 80k before a tune up is needed etc.

I have a friend making 1,140whp on hs 2.0 evo 2 using NGK coppers so how much more do people need than that? LOL

 

whats the oem gap? .040? .044?

 

just picked up my spark plugs and seafoam waiting for radiator and a few other ign parts and the fun will begin >

 

The dealership distributor cap and rotor are the best.
Can you receive dealership wholesale pricing? If so I would get dealership wires. If not get NGK wires.
Get Denso or NGK plugs. Denso Ik16 iridium plugs are only $1 more expensive than platinum amazon.com
