NGK BUR9EQ or BUR9EQP???

what is the difference in these 2 plugs?? I think I am running the BUR9EQ's but noticed a site that had the P's. Which are better and why? I am going to the store real soon here to pick up a couple new sets so I wanted to ask before I bought, thanks guy,

P= Platinum supposed to last longer. I ve used both, since I replace mine just about every oil change I go with the cheaper ones.

Its hard to find a place that carries the platinum plugs in stock so I would call around to find out. Places like napa, checkers, autozone say they have them but come to find out they are "special order"

My local AutoZone had the NGK's (non-platinum) and in stock. Even surprised the clerk.

I probably just got luck that day.

I went to Napa to get mine. They asked me if they were for a boat motor because of the price.

Yeah my local AAP had them in stock. The platinums would have taken a day so I said hell with it, go with the regulars, thanks for the info though guys.

I vote neither

NGK b10egv's or b10egi's

I get better spark and performance from them. Get them at your local jap bike shop.

Note: You will need a thin walled socket to install

yup, unless you drive like a grandma and foul the plugs then they need to be pulled and cleaned.

this all depends on how your car is performing. if youre running rich. . . dont count on it. i can foul out a set of plugs in a minute. . . but i need some tuning!!! hahaha

Better performance means no breakup and more power at higher RPM's and boost levels.

They also last longer and you really can't foul them or atleast I have not been able to.

They cost about 4$ each and are stock for snowmobiles

you know everyone says a you "need" a thin wall socket. just creative you lazy mothers. it is nothing you cant do with a wrench and a regular deep socket....if you have the patience. took me half an hour for a 10 minute job

If you have a Pineapple engine you don't need a special socket. They machine away that annoying lip on all their engines.
