What heat range would you recommend for a version 4 type-r at 350 bhp and do they come gapped correctly, many thanks

As a very general rule of thumb, go 1 stage cooler than stock for every 50-100bhp increase. It requires some research though, no 2 engines are the same and many factors will determine performance and wear of the plug.

The plugs are pre-gapped. Iridium IX plugs shouldn't really be re-gapped.

Hmm... can anyone tell me the stock part number of the 2008+ Hatch spark plugs? I'll see if they cross over to an IX plug from that...

The plug listed for the 08 STI hatch is NGK SILFR6A.

Hi there, any idea what plugs will suit my car - modded classic c450hp? Running racing 8s at the mo which I'm not too happy with (expensive & don't seem to run that good )

TX.

Try these NGK iridium IX in heat 8:

http://www.jp4mance.co.uk/products/1/Subaru/_/2725/

I run 7's in my '53 STi (TSL333 tuned) and i can't fault them. Very smooth idle too.

Probably a cooler plug, heat range 8 possibly even a 9.

Are you in the process of building the engine or have you been running the car at 550bhp? If so, the current condition of the plugs will give you a clue.

Too hot means not enough heat transfer to the cylinder head
Too cold means the plug won't burn off carbon deposits efficiently

As it says we're currently out of stock on that part number and it'll be early next week before the next shippment arrives. The iridium upgrades are a good alternative though, plenty of those in stock. Cheaper too

NGK Iridium IX are considered an upgrade over most OEM spark plugs. I use them in my STi V8 and favour them to the platinum.

Hi,

Please could you confirm if the 2006 wrx 2.5L Hawkeye plugs are ILFR7H part number?

This is the part number I have been told to use for the uprated heat 7 plug for my 340bhp wrx.

p.s. The link at the top of this post no longer works.

Ta.

Hi,

I think we just replied to your email enquiry?

ILFR7H = NGK LASER IRIDIUM (OEM brand)
LFR7AIX = NGK IRIDIUM IX (Upgrades)

Link is now fixed, thanks
