[@sargoth37]

In my opinion Denso is #1 and NGK#2. No other plugs come close. There is a Denso long life Iridium which has a slighter thicker center electrode than the Iridium power spark plugs. I first tried the Denso iridiums in my 1984 Toyota Supra. I had been using the standard Denso U grove plugs and they were in average condition. When I put the Denso Iridium power plugs in, the difference was like night and day. The throttle response became razor sharp like a race car. My jaw hit the ground, I couldn't believe the change. I have yet to try the new TT Iridium/Platinum. Can't wait to try them. I highly recommend giving them a try no matter what car you have.

[@youngb1ood]

You got some good points in there. But, high boost application increases the pressure and heat. An oil cooler, dry sump, electric radiator fan, water cooling could only do so much. A colder spark plug is definitely more friendlier for high boost, high compression applications.

The denzo Iridiums are supposed to have the smallest center electrode of any plug thereby giving you the fastest throttle response. From my experience I believe it.

Standard range plugs from NGK Denso and all the rest have a nickel alloy centre electrode (2.5mm), after that is the platinum centre electrode usually 1.1mm...and then top of the range Iridium/Rhodium centre elctrode 0.4-0.7mm

[@seinfeld11123]

5:05 "I would say the NGK is a more rugged plug". you have that 1000% correct. so I have a high performance motorcycle that needed a Iridium plug . both NGK and Denso made a plug for this model. exact heat range everything. it had an NGK in it from factory when I bought it and it was fine no issues. Well I was replacing a faulty coil, and coolant flush as it was getting to 15 years old this bike. so I decided to do plugs as well as you have to drop the radiator to do it (hence why iridium is the best option for bikes) so I order some NGK's however they call me back and say they are in back order due to Covid. but we have the identical denso. So I bought them. Installed and running perfect. I start to ride around. all good no issues. however after a few days. after the bike had been ideling at traffic light I started noticing the ideal would start to go funny. and when I would take off you would get that classic plug breaking down from heat. once you go moving and cooled the bike a bit it was fine. but you could tell the tell tale sign the plug was unhappy. I tried to get a 8 range heat rating but they don't make them only a 9 to 4 billion. funny they wont go to a hotter range after a 9 (both denso and NGK) anyway I ended up returning these and getting the NGK's back in there. and guess what. no issues ever again. so I would say you are right the NGK's are just more robust. where the denso perform like a more high performance colder plug. I also found out recently Bosche make a plug that suits my bike. now its getting interesting. because a lot of race teams in certain categories state the bosche is even better a not breaking down and handling heat but giving max performance even over NGK's so ill be keeping an eye out for that

[@nana-bt5db]

[@hankclements1602]

As for myself, I'll get what's convenient and cost-effective. Therefore, it's a toss-up for me based upon my car's manufacturer's engine specs. Depending on what assembly line at their regional plant have at the moment of manufacturing, it can be either or. My Honda OE manufacturer specs the Iridiums for the NKKs and the Denso, Denso being the more expensive pick right now. I will be changing out the NGKs to the Denso only since the Denso is in stock today rather than waiting until tomorrow for the NGKs. My 2010 Honda Fit has over 135k and I really don't need to change out the plugs right now because it running fine and the mpg hasn't changed! However, Honda recommends changing them at 100k and since my daily commute is far it will be advantageous for a better fuel economy standpoint in the long run. For those brand fans, be careful and do your research if you'll going to change the manufacturer's recommendations and specs. there's a lot of research and development that goes into the combustion chambers that's designed to work efficiently and engineered to proficiently save us from reinventing the wheel! I haven't seen or confirmed stats of any real wear or performance differences that would separate them apart in quality or durability...

Great comment very informative!

Hello for Kia Rio hatchback model 2014 engine petrol 1.2 84 hp can find denso Iridium for increased power thanks.

[@harryballz6358]

Plugs are specified to an engine on the chart. Meaning all plugs stated on one fits a car so they are the same plugs when numbers are cross referenced. Toyota uses both brands, some of their vehicles came with Denso in one head, NGK in the other head because the heads are actually assembled at several plants. When the engine itself is assembled elsewhere the heads are already together so one side's plugs are often different but it don't matter because the plugs/engine both are spec. Rather it be the engine manufacture choosing a plug spec or a spark plug manufacture that specs their plug to fit engines they are each specified to match & perform correctly together. Only when aftermarket parts are put on a engine does one really need to worry about plug specs/choices. Until then its just the matter of someone's own brand/design choosing, some like myself buy the NGK/Denso laser Iridium OEM while others may buy cheap G-Power NGK and change them every couple yrs why idk?? Done that 30yrs, why go backwards, hell no? Some only use Bosch (OMG help them) others let parts store monkeys behind the counter choose for them? He's 18 and drives his mommy's car, he don't know your car like the maker knows it why ask him?..lol Now Listen- When its OEM stock, the plug chart is made up between the car/plug makers and why each plug listed for a car engine are OEM spec. Pick one and drive on.. But' If you changed something to +/- fuel/air/timing/spark then you sure as hell better learn about spark plugs as damage can occur..Aka: Burn a hole in a piston. kzbin.info/www/bejne/opS9c6CXp6yGqM0 *Peace

What’s your thoughts on Denso Iridium Tough plug (as opposed to Power series). Supposedly they get 5 times the lifespan over the Denso Power (100,000km for Tough vs 20,0000km for Power). However, the Tough plug appears not to have the U-groove so if performance is the main objective, Tough may be the lesser choice in the Denso lineup. But for average driving I think Tough will be a great choice as it claims to last much longer. I’m also just curious how the Tough plug stacks up against the NGK IX you reviewed. I’m wondering if IX has a better lifespan the the Tough. My research shows they are similar but Denso Tough maybe has a slight edge. Also, I believe the Denso Tough electrodes are 0.4mm which is better for performance as you say compared to the IX’s 0.6mm electrode. The IX advertises life between 65,000km-80,000km, and in some cases around 100,000km with ideal conditions. So my question is if the Tough is expected to last as long or longer, and has the thinner electrode too, the Denso Tough would really be the best choice over the IX, right? I am after long life primarily in my application, but if the life is virtually the same or very similar, the Denso Tough seems to edge out the NGK IX on performance too. I would love to hear your feedback. Thanks!

[@DriveTuneMedia]

They both are great plugs. Logically speaking the thicker the electrode the longer it will last but maybe the conductors will erode first! I have experience of the IX and 100,000km seems conservative. I have 200k on a set and no sign of quitting.

[@danielcardenas9924]

Would the tip break off and fall into the cylinder is that possible ?

[@johngoe420]

The chance of a full tip bit breaking off and falling into the cilinder is there but unbelievably small. Normal wear could decrease the size of the tip, but that is really just slowly done with nanoparticles of it at the time. Old ass copper would just melt but the iridium is so little it won't damage anything.

[@jimmyandtommy1]

Interesting the claim that a smaller tip will encourage a stronger spark.. a smaller conductor has greater impedance and thus will take more energy to conduct the same amount of current across the air gap. This higher impedance will also create more heat. Probably negligible at these tiny sizes but that is what electrical theory says to my understanding. 🙂

That NGK Box doesn't look right. I think those are the Chinese replicas. research the box for these BKR6EIX NGK plugs and stay away from Amazon. buy from a trusted source.

[@DriveTuneMedia]

Plugs in the video are genuine but there are a lot of fakes around. NGK have a page on their site here which shows how to tell the difference. Or buy from a trusted source like you say. www.ngk-sparkplugs.jp/english/techinfo/fake/index.html

Denso was cheaper, so that was my choice. Lasted over 4 yrs when I sold the Super BlackBird.

[@DriveTuneMedia]

I guess it depends on the country. But having said that, Denso seems a couple of Euros cheaper than NGK now, in Greece at least.

Which plugs would be better for a 2012 Toyota Prius With a 156000 miles daily driver drive for Uber 200 to 300 miles A-day 5000 miles a month?????

[@DriveTuneMedia]

Hello Gus! Sounds like you want endurance, personally I would recommend the NGK ebay.to/2q3cYQP

[@ruhtra5602]

Only DENSO for Toyota.

[@edslaven9893]

Eh just change them as per manucturers recomendations forget checking gaps

[@JUKE179r]

NGK FTW!!! lol

I have a 2012 Nissan Altima with 500k + miles on it and NGK is all in use

Do you use iridium ix plugs in your altima?

[@Ken8989]

Your camera is not focusing on the plugs

[@tnasituning8173]

Every year though to replace platinum Plugs??? I would assume Copper you mean, but platinum will last at least 4-5 years or 50-60,000 miles yes?... Copper will generally last 30,000 miles or a little more... But i agree the consistent gap with IRIDIUM and the performance is the way to go!

[@DriveTuneMedia]

*Some* engines can be very hard on plugs. Ford Sigma/Zetec 1.6 I found needed the platinum plugs re-gapping every 20-30 thous km. With NGK LPG (iridium) plugs, no problems.

[@samuelluka1829]

We can I have dis

[@johndelong5574]

Iridium us harder than platinum but the electrode is so tiny that there may be no advantage.

I get 120,000 miles Everytime out of denso spark plugs in our Hyundai sonata.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING unless you enjoy hearing the same statements over and over and over all the while the camera is shaking.

[@michellethompson581]

OMG CALM DOWN

[@SmokinGunn]

This video is pretty much garbage. Could be squeezed in to one minute because info is close to none. Also that camera shaking tells enough that a random guy gets and idea after six beers that im gonna make shaky video to youtube. Dont waste your time.

[@SerenoOunce]

ONLY Bosch platinums last 10lmi, bc they're junk. Any other reputable brand 50kmi is typical. Even copper is usually good for ~30kmi. For iridium the porcelain will crack or coil will fail before the actual electrode wears out.

[@shaneitsaname6135]

Well , I knew that info by reading the boxes, thinner electrode on the the Denso , so possibly will not last as long , I was hoping you actually had some hard data and test results . Blurry flickering video . Shocker .

[@xKS616]

video starts 2:45 ... maybe..

Evidently TOYOTA Thinks They' the Not Much Diff.in The 2 Brands.My 01 TUNDRA V-6;Came W/ 3 NON IRIDIUM NGKS on One Head of My Engine,& 3 NON IRIDIUMS DENSOS ON OTHER HEAD,FROM THE FACTORY IN PRINCETON ,IND.

[@issavibez394]

Toyota is stupid they are different lol

[@user-bl1rk1jc9k]

You said NGK is cheaper well Denso is $25 to $30 cheaper iridium plugs then NGK iridium.

[@TimothyLamothe]

Do not EVER try to re-gap Iridium plugs. These come from the factory to exact specifications for your vehicle. There's a high probability you will damage the iridium or even break it off using a Gapping Tool. Long story short - get the ones designed for your vehicle! They exist! Use them!

[@BPattB]

You can gap iridium plugs with the _right_ tool/tools. Meaning not to round tapering spark plug gapper. If you use the right tool you won't get near the tiny little electrode while opening the gap and then there are tools for closing the gap that you thread the plug into.

[@user-hs2hd7wp9g]

Of course you should check the gap (not with the coin style gapper but rather the wire style), it could be damaged during shipping.

[@BPattB]

@@user-hs2hd7wp9g I checked the last set of Densos I put in and they ranged from 42 to 44 factory spec called for 43. The wire feeler gauge has an arm on it that will let you open up the gap without going anywhere near the tiny little electrode.

[@Googaliemoogalie]

Nah, bad comment, always check the gap

[@EpiLover]

There is one Toyota V6 engine uses Denso on one bank and NGK plugs on the other from the factory. Go figure!

[@sargoth37]

Has anyone tried Denso or NGK Iridium plugs in a Porsche 928? The nazis on the porsche 928 FB group give you all kinds of hell for even suggesting Iridiums.

[@pattreu834]

oe denso , is all I run in my Hyundai sonata.

[@narmenia]

My car uses ordinary spark plugs and has a change interval of every 2yrs or 30k kms. That is based on the owners manual. Thats ordinary (nickel coated). Platinum 1year at 12k kms? Lol Video is very wrong.

[@TD2253]

NGK Laser Iridium spark plugs lasts for 200k miles

[@emichaels2112]

80 to 100k, not 200,000k.

[@kevincoulombe1685]

The point of platinum and iridium plugs with the fact that you can get a hundred thousand miles because they don't wear out as fast as a regular copper core plug that's the only reason why platinum and iridium plugs exist

[@gearhead4005]

Kevin Coulombe wrong. They also have a more constant consistent spark with the fine point electrode

[@kevincoulombe1685]

That goes with out saying

[@bagus3l]

no. iridium is better i was test it on dyno, and iridium is better on low rpm - high rpm, more hp more torque

[@msimrow]

My Denso plugs lasted about 40k

[@hope2512]

Change quicker for better fuel economy.

[@justine5804]

Did you use iridium?
