What's wrong with Bosch +4 Platinum plugs?

[dnguyen1963]

these are the things noobs just dont understand, these plugs do fuck with the car they run hotter etc there is no use in going into detail for something you arent going to understand, if we tell you its cause we have been there done that or noticted it on someone elses car..dont take my word for it as most people here have there mind made up either way, there are no performance gains to be had with running those plugs.

Even Noobs need rational explanation...how can it run hotter?

Why is everyone so focused on "damage" and "problems"? It's not about that, it's about what produces the best power and best fuel economy.

plugs are designed by heat range. some plugs run hotter than others. you don't neccesarily want to run the hottest plug, either.

that's the point - you aren't going to see any difference, at best, in fuel economy or peformance by changing to +4 platinum bullshit. At worse, it may make your engine run like poo.

Ok, finally some sense to the question. Thank you!

But no one has even brought up any of this! All I have stated is that they WORK FINE in the engines, only people having the ISSUES HAVE OTHER UNDERLYING ISSUES.

More expensive? Yes.

Last longer? Yes.

Dyno proof that they dont harm horse power on a m42? Yes.

Waste of money for those reasons? No, time is money, i'd rather throw a plug in my engine and call it good for several years vs having to tinker with my gap because the copper wears away at a much faster rate.


Like I said, I would like to see factual information not opinions. I have posted facts.

LOL, dude...

I know I know..Rediculous huh? Yes some of the marketing is crap for these plugs I will agree, but to say the plugs themselves are crap isn't right. They work fine. Thats ALL im saying. Lol
