Hi guys just about to fit a chip to my 16vt i heard you have to use a colder grade of plug? are they NGks? if so which grade and part number are they?

cheers!

I think you will need NGK B8EGV

yes i fitted the evo cars chip and you require the NGK B8EGV plugs

Really? Thats a very cold plug for a car. EGV's are racing plugs which are definatly not a necessity and are very expensive. My 2 stroke race bike specified a B9EGV but it would still run fine on a standard plug. B9EV or even a B9ES

You could try the B7EGV, they are a little warmer.

I must admit the B8EGV's are a little on the cold side, but how fast they get sooted depends of your driving stlye really

I think its an overkill, 7's are plently cold enough for that level.

B8EGV is the specified plug for the Chip

Would a B7EGV make much difference? I run 8's but had thought they were a bit cold just due to the look of them for normal road use - not track days etc. Is swapping going to make menough difference to justify the expense?

It runs a bit rough sometimes but never drops onto 3 cylinders

You dont need thoes race plugs, seriously. The chip should not dictate what plugs you need. How you drive it would be a better reason.

What are the standard Coupe plugs? BPR7ES is the plug listed for 8VT and 16VT Delta/Thema/Croma etc. Its also what Mitsu EVO's etc use. I use them in my race car without issue. I have tried other types without any noticable difference.

I very much recommend using the factory specific plugs unless you have a good reason to use something elce. Fiats generally specify very cold plugs from the factory, too cold most of the time.

can anyone please confirm they are using BPR7ES plugs please. they have just arrived and they are looking different to the plugs that are already in the car, the new ones have a deeper base and a slightly bigger porciline part...

thanx
mike

anyone?!
