I have heard that the NGK spark copper plugs are good for the altima...

Is there like a serial number or something to identify the correct NGK plugs ?

There must be different kinds ....

I don't want to get a colder or hotter plug than I need.

I don't have mods just stock.

Or should I consider other plugs ?


Thanks

You will want to run NGK # BKR6E-11 / stock # 2756 , gaped to .045 in. for stock performance .047 in. for best performance ..

Hey guys,

before anybody answered me I Purchased the NGK plugs and he gave me BKR5E-11 stock 6953.

Somebody told me a differente stock number.

Should I put them in or go change it at the store ?

Are this colder or hotter plugs than usual ?

Thanks

OK,

the NGK website says to install BKR5E-11 stock 6953 for my 93 altima.

Guess that answers my question.

thanks
ank

Yea the stock plugs are BKR5E-11 , but if you are looking for performance get the colder BKR6E-11 ...

Hey I'm curious. where are you guys getting your NGK's from??? I've only looked around a bit, but havent found anyone selling what I wanted

Shawn, any down sides to running a colder plug gapped as you say? I want to try this, for performance but was curious about side effects. Thanks. Later

Napa, AutoZone, etc.

Look in your local yellow pages under auto parts. You should find one or two ads for discount import part stores. These places will always have what your looking for, and at better prices than autozone or pepboys. Also check out www.carparts.com.

yeah! explain more please...I want to know also. What are the performance gains? what is bad about the colderplugs with bigger gaps?

Napa, AutoZone, etc.

actually i was at autozone yesterday and they didn't have ngk, instead they had bosch

well then, Advanced Auto has them......I knew one of the two didn't carry NGK.

 

[tylerwal]

Note: the last number before the dash signifies the temp rating of the plug. 5 is the stock rating and 6 is one step colder.

Go to the NGK website for explainations of hot and cold. http://www.ngksparkplugs.com

As for side-effects to running a colder plug? A colder plug will absorb more heat from the combustion chamber, thus run the chamber cooler and will allow you to run a hotter charge (leaner), while a hotter plug will run at a higher temp and increase the chance of detonation. you can run higher compression and more advanced timing with a colder plug and lower your chance of pre-ignition.

Basically, a colder plug is for a higher performance engine.

it says under FAQ on the site that using racing spark plugs(BKR6E-11) wont do nething unless you have a racing engine and it might even be too much for the car...anybody have any comments?

There are no side effects on running the 6's ... If you were to lets say run 7's then you could have a problem with them fouling if you do lots of stop and go .. The one step colder plug will help prevent predetonation under hard use even on a stock engine ... And as we all know , all it takes is one hit of pinging and the ECU drops the timing 3 degrees , which kills performance ... I have always ran the 6's in my Altima .. I am trying to find 7's for the new engine ....
