Trailing plugs for 400RWHP: EGV, EIX, ????
I KNOW I KNOW: Search, but I keep finding contradictive information . Some say EGV others swear EIX. I will be running a 62-1 and will be driven on the street/ track on weekends.
I am leaning toward 10 EGV but just want to know if any more conclusive info has been accomplished since these random old/new cold plug threads.
Thanks and fire away.

I've run 10EGV's and the Denso 10.5's. Other than the price, there was no noticeable difference.
Some will argue that the non-resistor type will introduce additional noise that can screw everything up or won't work with CDI setups. I've experience neither. I'm not speaking from theory but experience on that.

HKS recommends that you avoid non-resistor plugs for the twin power (I am using BR10EIX @ 20psi of boost).

Well **** me! I guess I will be cancelling my order for the EGV and going EIX. Shitty because they already shipped the EGV.
Thanks arghx, you have been a great help!

I tried the B10EGV's last January on the dyno and I almost had a heart attack when we were down a few hundred horses in disbelief. Long story short, we immediatly switched out to the stock 9's and hit 400+rwhp.
Still can't figure why those plugs don't work for me... But I do want to add that I run the HKS twin power and I also have a new stock ignition harness that doesn't have a seperate ground for some reason...
If these plugs work for anyone out there...I have a set with only 3 dyno pulls that I'll let go cheap. Pm me if you're interested.

I don't know about you guys, but where I get my plugs (Advance Auto Parts near my house, the guys there are surprisingly not idiots) the BR10EIX are still cheaper than stock by like 50 cents a plug. B10EGV is even cheaper. So I'm not sweating the coinage.
oh, and I'm sure a number of people run B10EGV with HKS twin power anyway. But I feel more comfortable following their recommendation.

I've been told that the non R type plug 'can' lead to problems with the FD crank angle sensor and the timing pickup. I have run the egv's before, but am currently running all 9s with the HK$ twinpower, it's been fine at 15-17 psi.

switching from 4 9's to 4 EIX's noticeably affected my idle tuning etc. It needed more timing and a bit more fuel on my engine to idle smoothly. So if you get it nice and tuned on the 9's you may have to redo some of the driveability tuning if you switch to 4 10's, or at least I did.

as i disassemble engines i often find radial cracks emanating from the plug holes...
i assume running too hot a plug is the culprit. don't make the mistake of leaning on your engine too hard with 7s or 9s.

I'm running an Aquamist 1s system. Howard brings up a good point, I've been thinking about running some 10s again, either EGVs or EIX. I'm not a fan of using the turned down socket, one thing that's kept me away from the EGVs I used in the past.
#24
I got 10EIX's today in my trailing and 9's in the leading. Grinding down that extra spark plug socket was interesting but worked, I have no finger prints from it getting so hot while grinding(should have used gloves but it is funny how beer makes you just lazy)

Interesting how a lot of folks are going for the EIX's... after reading this older thread below it makes me think twice about running them. Seriously though, there's always contradicting info on these different plugs... I guess because there so many different variables in everybodies different set-ups.
