Iridiums and platinums are good for longevity, but hopeless in worked applications. If you are running anyhting more than just a little bit of a boost upgrade, then just use the copper ones and replace them every 5-10,000km, as the price ones will foul just as fast under high boost.

Ben, Thats a load of Crap!

Iridiums are Great in worked and boosted applications, Most would say PLatinums ( to a degree and depending on type ) are usless tho!

Ive been using Iridiums with up to 19psi with no issues, and run some bloody fast times and some decent dyno numbers . Funny how many people knock iridium plugs... Manny swore by them in his car all the way to 340rwkw!

irdiums are A1... put a set of brk6eix (not with the 11 at the end-they suit 2jz for the record) car runs/idles like a dream ...... although their only 1200km old so far :-) ..... not bad for $12.50 each but.....

I had coppers since I got the car changed them every 2nd oil change. A workshop put iridiums in for me one time and after about 2000k's the car started misfiring, always stuck to coppers since then gapped down to 0.7.

CHris, there is a good chance they put the Iridiums with the 1.1mm Gap in, alot of workshops do this!

I gap my Iridiums down to 0.72mm and have never had an issue... I get about 15,000km's out of a set with alot of drag racing in between.

Not true. Twin electrodes don't give you any extra spark - they can last longer and run cooler than a single electrode (even thats debatable), but a twin electrode plug with the same electrode dimensions rated at the same temp as a single electrode offers no ignition benefits. A Vvti will run fine on a correctly rated and gapped single electrode plug.

not so true mate I put in iridiums 2 years ago and have not touched them since.
I do run more than 1 bar of boos also.
because of the age of the cars and fragility of ignition components I prefer putting in plugs that dont need changing every 5000kms
and when i was on normal plugs I had all sorts of misfiring issues.
I had 0 misfires since putting in iridium plugs.

The poart number is BKR6EIX they dont have any numbers following them.. Also tell whomever is ordering them to make sure they are 0.8mm gapped in case they order you the 1.1 versions...

0.8mm = BKR6EIX
1.1mm = BKR6EIX-11

Errrr, thats what I just said mate, last time I checked 'good for long longevity' translates to lasts a long time! I'm running Iridiums in my car now and they are great, but I have seen countless ones fall apart at 21+psi.

the way i look at it, if the engineers at toyota recommend twin prong, then that is what should be used, don't forget they spent millions $$$$ to engineer the soarer....they should know best.

The way I see it is I would tend to agree with you if the car is stock, however Toyota did not use any particular spark plug with the belief that the car would be modified from the oem spec. When you add more boost and more power the situation has changed and you need to adjust to that by changing certain equipment as well.

My TT had single prong platinum's from the factory, Now that I have added boost I don't think that running platinums is a good idea any longer.
