The Definitive S2 Spark Plug Thread

[JP]

Depends on the power bracket you are running but I've used BKR8EIX's and 9's in the past with good results.

Ngk Bkr7eix

I'm interested in anyone's update on this. Bosch F5DP0R are the recommended plugs, PFR7B being NGK's Platinum alternative (£6.30 each) that some of us, including me, have tried but not had much luck with.

NGK list BKR7EIX as their "upgrade" plug which are iridium and are £4.50 each against £8 each for the Bosch. False economy or worth a try?

Just fit NGK BCPR7ES (or 8´s).

They´r cheap, under $5 each.

They does the job for atleast 3bar of boost and theres lots of people running over 1000whp with them.


Those iririum plugs and such belongs in the trashcan.

yo

i dont have to duck under doors either. and we fit in a gt40, maybe


ive tried a few plugs now and as tom has stated many times the best alrounder is the stock item.

ive used cheaper ones bkr7e. they work fine too, bit weak maybe on high boost.

i used denso irids. good on wot a bit poor on normal driving.

2 bar on stock plugs is just a good as cruise on stock plugs i found.

one thing dont try to gap them. if the spark is weak then look to the coils

FFS, yes im vertically challenged, but i meant to say "in" and not "im"!!

im short

No need to brag about it

[audiman]

im short any plug will work, you have 3 choices............. fit a cheap plug and risk engine damage..... find a seller of the correct plug at sensible money...... just buy the plugs from the dealer, fit them and forget about it.

Denso IK27 works great on my 500HP setup

the dealer quoted me about BND$41.00 per piece approx USD$30.00. what a rip off.
would BKR6E NGK or F6DTC Bosch a fine alternative?

Seems like the spark from Audi dealer is the right one.It has the Bosch logo,Audi logo and it is written F5DPOR on it.

[Sleeper_Avant]

i took the plugs out to gap them on my A4 (AAN motor) and some knob has strapped a set of PFR7Bs in there, there fine in Scoobys but what about the 20v AAN`s? ****in things blowing the spark out at 1bar gapped them to .6 and threw em back in but will get a set of F5`s on tuesday when im back at work.

Anyone run PFR7B`s in their S2???

Oh and to stop them coming loose, tighten and back off till it goes slack, do this twice and third time tighten correctly and leave

[CoCaine]

Anyone knows if the spark plugs buyed from Audi dealer are the same thing with Bosch F5DPOR?
I mean if there is no Bosch stamp,just the Audi-VW ones,they are the same?
I need 1xF5DPOR and seems like in Spain they didn't heard about this spark plug before.
I've went to Audi dealer and the lady ordered one for me,but I'm not that sure it is going to be the right one..

Anyone?

Cheers.

Ive only ever used the recomened plugs in my S2, Tried Iridiums in the bike once, the motor went flat just after it came on boost, took the plugs out to find the tips had gone, so put stock plugs back in.
So have to agree with RWD save your money and put the stock ones in.
