Is that for NA or Boosted?

I looked the 99 SE-L on NGK's website and they said BKR5EIX-11. But I got a feeling they would be too hot.

I'm talking to Dave from Sonic Spark Plugs, I think I will be getting the BKR5EIX-11's or the BKR6EIX-11's, with his patented technology.

Now I kinda wish I could get a normal set and his set and then compare them both to see if his technology actually works...

ive read if you run the 7e's they recomend replacing them every oil change, altho they arent that expendsive so it doesnt really matter to me about 12.00 for the 7e's


I bought 7e's at O'Reillys last weekend, I paid 1.58 each.

I went ahead and ordered the IX Iridium BKR5EIX-11 Sonic Spark plugs. They will be custom made and then shipped to me.

I will test them out for Performance and MPG gains. I wish I would have a dyno available to try them out though

I've just installed a set of NGK BKR7EKU's.



So far they seem good.

I was running BKR6EIX-11 which I have had for over a year and 45,000km. They performed good untill recently when I developed a misfire under load. Number 1 and 4 looked perfect, but 2 and 3 both had brocken porcelan and had melted tips. I suspect this was caused by detonation though rather than any fault with the plugs. Up untill last week the car had been running lean due to a tuning isue, but has now been retuned.

Wow double tipped NGK's interesting!

Well if anything I think my car is running rich then lean, so I should be fine haha.

Sonic Spark Plugs
Couple weeks ago I ordered some Sonic Spark Plugs in Iridium IX flavor (BKR5EIX-11).

Now these plugs have a hole drilled in the ground electrode. When a spark is sent it hits that hole, produces a spark and sends and ultra sonic sound that breaks down the fuel for a better combustion.

I will be testing these plugs out to see how they feel when driving and with gas mileage and compare to the other spark plugs that I have.
