Torques Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Has anyone heard of this plug? NGK 7088 BCPR6EGP Single Platinum Spark Plug http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/_/N-5yc1s?itemIdentifier=505371 http://www.driftmotion.com/NGK-7088-BCPR6EGP-p/dm800.htm It seems quite cheap and is a Platinum. Also it has the Japanese length as opposed to the Platinum plugs usually recommended, I use the copper variant but possibly this is worth a try ... What do you think? Cheers ...

KiwiRS4T Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I worry about the "cheap" bit. I use the factory recommended PFR7G Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441150-bcpr6egp-single-platinum-spark-plug/#findComment-7241596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torques Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Well, The copper ones are cheap as well, and this is still an NGK plug ...

KiwiRS4T Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 All copper plugs are cheaper than platinum. What I'm saying is that I worry about getting a cheaper "platinum" plug. They may well be fine but not last as long as the PFR Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441150-bcpr6egp-single-platinum-spark-plug/#findComment-7242753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torques Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 never use a plat plug. Why not ? Do you have negative experience with them?

They may well be fine but not last as long as the PFR I see what you mean ... I thought of these plugs as an alternative to copper, not the PFR.

MrStabby Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Why not ? Do you have negative experience with them? GT is a professional tuner, so he will have tons of experience will all types of plugs. However, yeah, he should say why. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441150-bcpr6egp-single-platinum-spark-plug/#findComment-7244301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiRS4T Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 My professional tuner asked me to replace the coppers with the factory recommended PFRs to eliminate slight misfire at high revs/load. Haven't heard any downside to PFR apart from cost.

Fair enough .. I tried various plugs including multi ground electrode NGK plugs and they all worked. However this BCPR6EGP plugs seemed interesting since it has the Japanese length and a very thin electrode which helps to ionize the space between the electrode gap (in layman terms makes it easier for the spark to form) I will give them a try and report back.

I was not questioning GTs experience just interested why he says Platinum plugs are not his preference.
