Post Which Sprak plugs?

I went shopping for NGK BPR7ES on the weekend, but nobody seems to carry that plug in Edmonton. Which Bosch spark plug are you guys using? The Manual recommends WR 7 DC, but I think someone mentioned using WR 7 DP. And is stock gap the best to use?

Thanks,

Justin

I'd like to know the answer to this as well...

What plug is recommended for a standard chipped 951S?

my favourite over the years is the Bosch WR7DS (silver) Has served my turbo cars well.

You can try and cross reference the BPR7ES at Canadian Tire to their V groove plugs - they are made for them by NGK at less $$$ and are an inexpensive alternative.

Why not platinum plugs? I just bought some, but haven't put them in yet.

Just say no to brand-B platinum plugs. They only have a tiny sliver of platinum on the tips, which tends to break off at the worse times. There's a discussion and photos on this recent thread:
<a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=005130" target="_blank">What plugs do you reccomend?</a>

Now the really good platinum plugs are the ones that came OEM on Toyota cars. They feature a full-length real platinum plug and go for about $10/each.

Thanks guys,

Konstantin, Can you tell me more about these multi range plugs? I'm considering either these or WR6DC now... depending on what I can find at my local parts places. I will also definetly stay away from Bosch platinum plugs.

I was also hoping to start a "gap" debate. Someone edumacate me <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Ive have very good luck with the bosch platniums. But comeing from the same people that made the +4's which i have seen nothing but bad things from i have to be skeptical. But to this day regular bosch platniums have faired me pretty well in the 944's over the years.
