Which is better for my engine? I'm doing a tune-up here shortly and I was wondering what the difference was.
Thanks, Alex Cutrara This post has been edited by Cutrara: Jun 12, 2005 - 10:12 PM -------------------- |

For a bog standard 5S, copper will work just fine.
I run NGK iridiums, but I run a bar of boost and expect 60,000 miles out of them. -------------------- JDM ST205
Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000 Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying. |

[right][snapback]298223[/snapback][/right] he is correct. From what I have read in the past, copper is just fine for our engines. -------------------- |

I don't need performance plugs, I can't really do much for performance (mean parents) so I guess copper will do fine.
Thanks for the help. -------------------- |

Yeah, I run NGK Iridium IXs on my Supra and grade 8 NGK V-Powers on the Celica.

if you have a GT you need to run NGK platnium and this i say because it is on the left side on the engine on a silver tag also i work at advance and that is the OE recommendation.
