iridium plugs

[gamushara unten]

just curious,

has anyone used them here?

can anyone quantify results with their (iridium plugs) use?

They're just plugs. No they wont give you any more power.. They will last quite long, because of the iridium tip.

I have them since November last year.... 30.000 miles on them and still as new.
Got MUCH BETTER throttle response, better MPG, no detonation or pinging even if I tried to... and yes, the car felt a tad bit more powerfull when overtaking.

Just in case you are wondering if the old plugs where bad, well they where Denso platinum with barely 1.500 miles on them.

IMHO they are worth every penny paid. Just my 0.2 cents

I've had the Denso iridium IK-20 (?) plugs for about 30K. Honestly, I don't think they provided any noticeable diference in my car (Camry '00 i4).

I did not see fuel savings or more power, and at the time i had a very consistent about 500 miles a week route, so I was tracking the fuel consumption pretty close. No ill effects either, except my wallet being $60 bucks thinner...

Now I'm back to regular Toyota OEM plugs, again iridium I think, just not the high-tech ones that cost 5-6 times more.

Buaha, no offence but thats total Bullshit.. A car wont gain power with plugs, unless, your previos plugs were so fouled up that there wasnt adequate spark. But putting them on a dyno, you wont get any more power. None of those listed would you be able to get with plugs. I love placebo effect
