i found a site that has a whole bunch of spark plugs. it has 240sx KA plugs, silvia sr20det plugs, and another one that says 240sx sr20det plugs, this is probably the one i should get right?

BKR7E gapped to 0.028"

Ask the guy at CT to look up the NGK #6097

If he can’t find it in a general catalog, have him order it form the Keystone catalog. It’s like $2ea

Yo i went to CT, the plugs were $13 each for the BKR7EXI Iridium?  
is there a different between the iridium and the regular ones performance wise?

G has it right - get BKR7e’s. They are they cheapest and they work the best…what more do you want?

i just couldn’t figure what the difference from iridium to the regular ones performance wise. I researched and basically came up with the conclusion they are pointless for me in my build. They provide a stronger spark allowing a slightly larger gap but ur better off upgraded your electrical then spending $50 on plugs.

You got it…and at $2-3 a plug you can change them out nice and frequently to make sure they are always fresh.

Yeah go to a local Canadian Tire, don’t use the parts catalogue and DON’T ask anyone for help! :lol:

Just browse through the plugs and buy the BKR7E ones as aforementioned.

These plugs won’t be on the shelves at CT, I’d just go to NAPA and tell them the part number and they will be able to get it for you.

Always ask questions as a LAST resort at CT. The people there in general are very very fucking dumb.

For those of you who work at CT, offence is intended to you.

Since I saw the other thread direct to here and it was closed.

I got mine from here:

[http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/engine.html](http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/engine.html)

I am sure we can get better pricings from local vendors however… plus u gotta wait for it to come from BC lol…

There’s a few listings on which for which motor.

You have to be kidding me if you ordered sparkplugs from PDM considering you can get the exact from CT 🤣
