I'm going to look to confirm. I will post the ecu code to see which year it is from. I think the ports were square from what I could tell

C rex thanks alot brotha appreciate it ! There isn't alot of posts with this. Reason why is I know in Japan they run the equivalent to 98 I octane. So that wouldn't be good !

well... not exactly lol its pretty common that people think that. the octane level in japan is measured in a different unit giving it a higher number. like km/h vs mp/h.

no problem though. welcome to the forum. theres a lot of information on here and the regulars are more than willing to help.

I see. Thanks for clarifying that. I'm going to confirm which plugs I have then go from there!
