Don't use those sparkplugs.

W8LCR+ or NGK ZGR5A.

[MT325is]

^care to explain?

Good job, and nice work. Im doing pretty much the same thing right now an a '90 Bronzit Basterd!!

to answer question about spark plugs, Platnium and Iridium plugs foul really easily and quickly. Keep in mind that m20 motors, run pretty rich at start up. if the spark plug tips come into contact with any contaminants ...... there goes your plugs performance. M20 motors really run best on copper core spark plugs. the bosch supers replaced the older kick ass copper cored plugs and are the proper spark plugs to run W8LCR+

the NGK ZGR5A. are good too.

a thing to also remember about spark plugs is the gap and heat range,
for Bosch the higher the number the hotter the plug and for NGK the higher the number the colder the plug,. Colder is best for Boosted applications.


The Bosch W8LCR+ plugs are a direct drop in, and are Cheap. like ~2-3 bux a piece depending on where you get them. No need to adjust gapping, only have to twist off the the end caps thats all, so the ignition wires seat properly to the spark plug.

Dont waste your money on platinums or irridium plugs, they are expensive and they dont even work well with the m20 motors at all.

Hope that helps.
