So I now have this junk yard motor about ready to go. It's got a nice load of ATF in it so that I can entertain the neighbors and help clear out the mesquito population up here in MN. When dealing with this extremly stock engine, which spark plugs do I want to use? Do I want to use something cheap just to get it running then switch to a more race ready plug come race day? I've been looking at the plugs on mazda motorsports and there's quite a variety, and quite a variety in the price range as well. My last engine used NGK B10EGV as recommended by the builder, but looking at these plugs that move in a little closer to the combustion chamber has me interested. Thanks again!

p.s. I tried the search thing, but... you know the story.

I'd say use a cheap plug to fire off the ATF mix as you'll want to remove them not long after the ATF is all burned off. No reason to foul out a side fire converted plug just to kill mosquitoes http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/biggrin.gif

Call Mazda Motorsports ...er...mazdacomp...and try to get Tim. He'll set you up. All you need to do is decide how much $ you want to spend and how often you want to pull them in and out. (The super jammy ones recommend you warm up on a stock plug then install once warm)

HAve fun!

Get a set of stock ngk plugs for all the smoking, they don't foul as easy. Then i raced with BUR9EQ, 2nd gen trailing plug.

Anyone use those thinner washers with the NGKs?
