What about spark plugs?
Hello
My car is a Ford Sierra Cosworth 2WD stage 3 (24psi of boost)
For the moment, I use
Bosch f3cs spark plugs.
I will want to replace them by
denso ik27
Do you think that it is a good idea?
thanks
JY

So you seem to want to run Denso's really badly....
Most people on here with modified Cosworths will be running 071s.
There's a tonne of threads in this forum if you do a search on spark plugs.
Ford 071's Motorcraft spark plugs
Finis code 1120834 AGPS 071C

The IK27’s are the equivalent heat range of a 9 in the NGK range and the IK31 is a heat range of 10 in NGK.
I use the IK27’s on the street and IK31’s on the strip/track.

Normally, the other interest of denso iridium is to have a very long life.
The guys who use the IK27 have which level of tuning?

There is a lot of model!
Which spark plug is really the best for a "normal" use and some big boost (24psi) some times?
Iridium (Denso, NGK) one have very long life?
Pp8 too?

071's are nice and cheap to, only they made my 4x4saff run like shit when I gave it stick.
I like the champion QC59C's, race plug so they make the car hunt a bit on idle when cold though.

For a std car- 0.85-1.0mm
For more boost(depending, less gap if running more boost)- 0.85-0.65mm.
Watch out on the 071's though because they are offset, you have to gap them at about a 45degree angle.

I also run 071 plugs...but they seem to misfire now and then when on full boost (I run a stage 3 with 23psi boost and I have gabbed them at 0,65 mm).... so I'm trying to figure out what to do...new gab or new plug ..????
