Hello. I have done a search but cannot find an answer (sorry if I missed it guys!) As titled - is there a general opinion on what spark plugs are best for the GT4 ST205? I have mild mods such as a slightly better turbo, FMIC, boost controller, exhaust and Walbro 255 (which I understand might be w waste of time without other mods to compliment!). I know what plugs are listed as standard fitment - but should I go for a higher heat rated plugs with the mods I have? If so which heat rating? Is there a plug that has been slightly more approved as the best one for these cars in general?
The reason for asking this is that I have not changed them since my ownership (I have not done that many miles) - I get the car regularly serviced at Toyota and they recommend that the next service I replace the plugs. But they want £80 to replace the plugs so I dont think so! Considering for example I can get a set of NGK ones from ebay etc for about £30. Or am I just worrying about this too much and should I buy whatever the NGK/etc part finders on their websites tell me to get as the standard fitment? |

Fair enough and I guess they are not much more expensive than stock Genuine Toyota ones anyway...ebay KV85 at about £120
 So they are 8.5mm...i am assuming they wont fit in the standard runners and you just have to bin that and let them hang there? What did you do? Have you got a pic? Anyone else used/recommend KV85? Gimmick or not? This post has been edited by alex1981: Nov 9, 2011 - 5:36 PM |
