Hey Guys, Just wondering what SR20DET plugs you all are running and would you recommend them? Also a place where you got them would be great. SR S13 and S14 spark plugs are the same correct? ---

For now you can use Toyota Supra Twin Turbo spark plugs, they work fine and have \*6 heat range which is good enough ---

right now i’m using 6s as I wasn’t able to get my hands on any 7s, 6’s work fine up to about my power level and then under extended use at high power they will foul. 5s will be ok on stock SRs but if you take it to the track you might have some trouble after extended use. 6’s would be best all around for a stock SR, 7s can foul if you never beat on the car and you only drive it slowly around town, N/A or turbo, at idle/cruising the plug is too cold and can eventually foul. ---
