Spark Plug Replacement B8ECS

[jlhinte]

I can not locally find the NGK B8ECS for my '93 Super Sprint. The NGK UK site does not list a replacement or upgrade for the plug. I was told an equivalent is NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs : BR8EIX.  Can this be verified?

Thanks,

Where are you, please?

There's a fair bit of discussion in the archives:

Alternatives seem to depend on whether yours is running hot or cold.

The Iridium plugs are a thin wire electrode whilst the 'C' and the 'CS' are low angle ground electrodes. The IX should be OK but they are very expensive (£10 each) compared with the other common options. A BP7ES generally works well on the road and a B8ECS for a higher heat rating on the track. Both are readily available online. The 'P' in the ref is projecting insulation. As said on the other thread the 'R' is with a resistor which presumably isn't wanted if currently using B8ECS.

Hope this helps
