    S52B32 spark plugs?

    Pelican wants $11 per unit for NGK or Bosch spark plugs for an S52. Is this for real, or there "normal" plugs that will work fine? Engine is S52 with OBD1 electronics.

              The best price I'm finding on these is $4.00, which is heaps a lot better than where I started at $11. Do you have a source to get them at $1.75, or was that possibly old stock?

                The BR6KE's are copper i believe the bkr6ek's are something else...

                  $4.00 for a spark plug for our cars seems pretty cheap, but then I am I am from Australia where gas is $6 a gallon and a bottle of Pringles costs $3.49!

                  If you find it any cheaper than $4 let us all know!

                    I run BKR6E on cars stock to 400 RWHP. Over 400 RWHP I switch to BKR7E. Both are NGK v-power copper plugs. Only difference is the 7 is a step colder than stock. I run the BKR6E in my stock M50TU swapped E30 and run the BKR7E in my 800 HP E34 M50. You'll be fine - they're $2.20 or so each at Advanced Auto

                    BKR6E = single tip, copper plug v-power
                    BKR6EK = dual tip, copper plug standard

                    BKR6E advanced auto part # is 6962. BKR6EK # is 2288. Can't gap the EK, if you run the BKR6E gap down to 0.028"
