    Best spark plug for e30?

    Any preference Bosch vs ngk vs denzo? Copper core vs 4 tip blood diamond plated blinders? Seriously, which is the best plug on a internally stick motor with MAF and 19lbs( if that matters, didn't know if it'd change heat range...idk). Thanks for any relies.

      Dude I know! I just didn't know if using a maf and bigger injectors will make a difference, will it?

        use NGK over bosch no fancy shit though, and on M20 with upper CR BPR6ES which is one range cooler.

          Your using a standard ngk spark plug part #BPR6ES or CR BPR6ES?

              the CR means compression ratio.

              BPR6ES is the p/n for ngk but only for a higher compression engine the stock ngk is fine for stock engine

                  Dont get anything fancy, over the years ive found on stock engines (not just e30's but in general) the OEM plug is really the best, period. On a built/forced induction motor, go with something better.

                  More so on an engine that burns out, before taking it apart my Charger was leaking oil past the valves ruining spark plugs, i found the cheap 1$ champion plugs not only lasted longer but she was happier, and when it came time to change i was only out a few bucks.

                    Just my .02 running similar setup (maf/ 19 lb) I ran the new Bosch W8LcR+ and fouled them out in 6months flooded the head. Searched harder and found the old style W8LCR no plus and Ive been smooth ever since.
                    I'm might have the pt#'s wrong an OG can correct them as Im sure they know what Im talking about.
                    I love that people ask stupid questions so I dont have.

                        id probably consider champion plugs for the whipper snipper but not much else...... NGK always worked better than bosch for me

                            they changed the p/n for the B25 bosch plugs at one point W8LCR and then WR8LC or something along those lines.....was apparently still the same plug or newer version but 100% compatible they said

                              I use the BPR6ES too, as a side benefit to working well, they are cheap as dirt and i can go to any small redneck autoparts store in town and find them.

                              For a stock engine the equivalent would be BPR5ES
