Best plugs

[shrekblackR]

Hi all what ate the best plugs to use with these cars as I've put Ngk iridium 9s in and seems to be lumpy thanks guys

[The Flying Moose]

I find the genuine Volvo spark plugs run nicely.

However since modifying I have always run NGK Platinum's (PFR7B) they are about £9 a plug but worth every penny.

[Wobbly Dave]

NGK BKR7EVX - unless your running massive boost.

£7.63 inc vat from PFS so not mega pricey for 5

or £35 all in from here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SPARK-PLUGS-NGK-X5-VOLVO-S80-2-4-B5244T-BKR7EVX-/120571965753?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c12a63139

But I use these and they seem just fine: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOSCH-YTTRIUM-Spark-Plugs-VOLVO-850-2-0-T5-R-T-5R-AWD-/120569333029?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c127e0525

And that is only £25 all in.

Denso Iridium plugs in mine, a bit pricey but last ages and found I could run higher boost with these in.

Hi, my s70 t5 is rica'd and running around 14psi, I just fitted new ngk platinums and its crap! Badly splutters and coughs on boost? I'm thinking of closing the gaps on the plugs first? What do you reckon?? :)

[Volvostorm]

I have heard these engine don't like platinum plugs, don't know why. Try a standard set, or put the old back in and try that.

[shrekblackR]

Anyone tried silver tipped ones ????

[Al115]

Just
Use
The
Regular
Volvo
Ones
:)

[T4_Al]

I use the genuine plugs, no problems. Fires first time every time. What are you hoping to achieve by using expensive plugs?

[tomtyres]

Well, i've properly gapped, and re-fitted the volvo plugs, and replaced the knackered dizzy cap and rotor arm..................................... and it foooking flys!!! :D the fastest its ever been!
volvo plugs for the win! :)

[merc85]

I use NGK BKR7EVX, never had a issue

[tomtyres]

My top tip is,
Change the inexpensive dizzy cap and rotor arm first before getting all confused over white gold plated rare metal plugs from the moon! All plugs need a strong current to perform well!
Good luck! :)

Ha, pays to take my own advice!

Holy thread bump! But whilst here. I've just gone for the NGK BKR7EIX so I'll soon find out.
Mines been missing under load for a few weeks on and off, so have some half decent HT leads coming too. :)
Not bothering with the MSD coil now, heard it's not worth the money.

I'm going to order a new cap and rotor as well as plugs from Rufe - they haven't been done for a goodly while - and will see what happens. Keep me posted on how you get on.

[cherry1809]

Got them through today, so will fit tomorrow methinks.
Apparently the leads are used in the Civic cup racing series, so guess I'll have to cover my car in stickers and add the shopping lists down the front doors :D
