anyone know where i can find some one step colder plugs for the VG

 

ngk.com.......

 

i think they are BKR6E-11

 

try NAPA. Just give them the part number and they will get it for you.

If you look in your owner's manual, there is a listing of the proper spark plugs.

 

Speaking of spark plugs. I'm going to take the dive here, since no one can tell me anything about Denso. So I figured I'd be the guinea pig here, and I'm praying I have as good as luck now with them. As I did with my 90 Nissan D21.

Now I'm sorry to post this, the test will not be until about Jan. I'm off for a 4 month vacation in the sand box, dodging mortars. So that means results won't be posted until about early feb (i need a few weeks to get a good feedback) Wish me luck everyone, I'm outta here tomorrow.

Oh, and the test will be compared against Bosch 4s.

 

Dude, trust us.. just stay with NGKs. the cars really like them, and they don't like the others very well at all. I've tried the Bosch +4 and the Denso platinums and most of the others.
the VG really likes the NGK coppers and the VE will handle either NGK copper or platinum.

 

thanks for the help...as for dom, i believe heat range on stock plugs are 11, which means i would need 10s

 

are you still auto with boost? I may have the axels from mine

 

no its not

B= 14mm Thread Diameter
K= Hex Size 5/8" Projected Tip Construction
R= Resistor Type
5= Heat Range (5= Stock, 6= 1 step colder, 4= 1 step hotter)
E= V-Power (V shaped groove on the electrode, its only avaliable on the 14mm diameter plugs)
11= Plug Gap (11= .044", 10= .040", 13= .052" (they dont make a -12)



and quoting Matt, maybe if you read it twice you'll listen
edit: the only thing I will add to Matts thing is the cars are designed for them, thats why they like them so much

 

mrgone i thought the id without the s mean one step colder. maybe i was wrong but i know the one step colder are those i specified. thanks

 

No, the S is standard (IIRC), basically ES = non V-Power, E = V-Power.
The heatrange is the number before that.

Also if your bored read the info on NGK's website.

 

Hi,

the standard spark plugs for the vg is NGK BKR6ES-11

Hi mr gone,

which version fsm from the max do you have?

 

It's out of the 1994 FSM. I'll find the actual version number if you really really want me to but meh.

 

Hi Mr Gone,

i actually found the information from the ngk.com website,

i check my haynes manual to,

and it says BKR6ES-11,

iam not sure if it is or not,

i just found out that number is for the ve engine and not for the vg engine,

 

NGK.com is NOT ngk's website. it is owned by an unrelated company that sell their products.

ngk's actual website is ngksparkplugs.com and they call for BKR6ES-11 for the VG (92 vintage) and PFR5C-11 for the VE which it's equivalant standard plug is BKR5ES-11.

and read this http://ngksparkplugs.com/techinfo/sp...000&country=US before anyone says anymore

 

oops

Nissans FSM calls for a 5 heat range. I was taught to listen to the manufacture, I mean they did design the things. Also E > ES, not only cause the groove is cool, but also cause Kaleb says so

repost (I already learned that in highschool)

 

So, with the Bosch platinums I put in, is that the reason the car runs well at 1st, then when getting to operating temperature, its seems to bog down?

 

doesn't mean that they haven't updated the information since.
alot has changed since 94

 

best spark plugs for 90 GXE Auto. I havent got a clear answer yet. I drive about 500 miles a week. with about 400 of them being on the freeway, at about 70-85 mph.
NGK V-Power??? which one..... part # please

Also what kind of wires.. RIght now I have some prestolites.. i heard that bosch ones suck.. NGK???

 

ngk man....

 

I bought some standard NGKs this afternoon. Do I need to gap them or are they pregapped already?

 

should be pre-gapped, but I never take their word for it.

 

I believe the Bosch plugs have a little more resistance than the NGK, and this may be why the NGKs run better, i.e. a hotter spark.

 

internetautomart - which ngk's do you carry for the VG?
-M

 

the factory ones (can't remember the long # at the moment) they are just coppers. the VG doesn't require / use the platinums

 

NGK has always been good about it for me. I still check incase one somehow gets messed with shipping but they've always been dead on or extremely close.


I've used NGK BKR5E-11's in VG's, VE's and VQ's all without any problems at all, Infact our VQ30DE-K is much better with the V-powers than the platinums.

 

What does the maual mean by "hi-speed driving and hi-temperature driving"???
I drive about 300 highways miles a week @75mph...
