B10EGV spark plugs

Im looking at running the above plugs in my FD, single T04B/E with about 18psi.

My question is do I need to run different heat ratings for the leading and trailing plugs or will both B10EGV's be ok?

I run those in my FD at 23 psi with meth injection. In my setup, the leadings tend to look a bit "cold", while the trailings look perfect.

I have a different car now but I run these on the street, pump gas with a Twin power and they are fine at 480whp. They tend to let the engine temps get a bit to high when circuit racing for a number of laps though so I swap out to a set of colder plugs for racing.

I used to run the b9egvs which were too hot for my setup. They say the non resistor plugs can burn up the twin power boxes. I never had a problem with mine. I have now switched to greddy race plugs which run a whole lot better then the egv's and supposed to last much longer too. Any car running an amp should stick with 10's or colder depending on your application, 9's just tend to burn up in my experience.

Yeah, Ray only wanted me to run the ngk's )$$) plugs.... I have a couple sets I swap out now. Would love to run a cheaper set but hate to chance anything.. Kinda like running cheaper fuel than Q16....

No these are the same as the ngk 7420 i believe is the part number. Not sure the difference but i think the 7420 are made with better materials for longer life.

Ah yeah they are the other option I run. What are they worth over in the states? Here in NZ they are about $100NZD each!

that funny because he (Kan) was tunning my car about 4-5 years ago and i was having iginition break up (all 9's) and he suggested that i try the B10EGV's and it solved the problem..........goes to show you that every set up different.

i will report back on the magnecors....taking the car to morosso on Sunday and should be doing some spirited driving

In the long run it will work out cheaper. The greddy race plugs are supposed to last 20 times longer. My b9egv's only lasted a couple months.
