Plugs

I want to replace my plugs. I used NGK my last time, what do you guys recommend. I want to use OEM, Denso's am I correct? I don't want to use iridium, or platinum, just standard plugs like it used from the factory. I have a 2.7. Thanks y'all.

 

Just replaced the plugs in my 3RZ...used the NGK Platinum alloy ones. BKR5EGP is what it says on the box in front of me.

 

Oh. Oh well. I was told they would last longer and they were only like $0.25 more ea.

 

How about the plug wires? What do y'all use?

 

None for me, I have DIS.... No wires. Mine are $80 each, hope they last forever.

 

DIS? what is DIS?

 

Distributorless Ignition System= D.I.S.

 

oh, me too but it still has wires

 

I have these, no wires whatsoever. They run right from the wiring harness and slip over the plug down in through the top of the valve cover.

 

how does that work

 

LOL.... give me a few I will go out and get a pic for you guys.

 

Ok, here ya go. Look on top of the valve cover you can see where it is bolted down and has a 4 wire plug. The plug is down in the head, the coil pack slips down into the head and then it bolts down, then plug it in...

 

whoa... thats strange. So it lasts longer then?

 

Damn I hope so, those things are $80 each to replace. Good thing is, you can do one at a time or all.

 

I replaced my OEM wires with the NGS set and also replaced the plugs with NGK Iridium. No problems running smooth.

I read a lot about if you use iridium the world would end, not for me atleast..... All is good. I'm sure I'll mess something else up later.

 

cool but, whats the advantage? i mean, it would take ten sets of plugs just to equal one of those better performance?

 

Toyota designed it, not me...LOL. Ford uses them, Dodge does, nissan... I can go on and on. It's just the type of coil packs they use. I use NGK plugs in my truck.

 

so your truck came factory with it?
