General For General 240sx/Silvia (s-chassis) discussions.

I got a KA24e, and NGK doesn't make iridium plug for it. Should I try other iridium?

I found that champion and autolite finally make iridium plug for KA24e. Should I give it a try or should I stick with the NGK platinum?

BTW heres the link. OOPS my bad they do only make platinum for the KAE. These are for the KADE. IX iridums need to be changed every 30,000 miles.
NGK iridiums need to be changed every 80,000 miles. They also make platinum that need to be changed at 30,000miles.

Champion spark plugs aren't bad unless your into the whole KARMA thing.

i change my plugs every 10k or so. the $8 for new plugs is made up in gas savings, and you get a touch more power out of it.
