BKR7EIX Spark Plugs

[ollieh17]

Word of caution to those running these plugs of the IKRS. Below pics from NGK technical following a failure of this plug.

I see alot of companies advertising these as fitting a DC5, which is actually incorrect. If you check NGK website they do not list the BKR as suitable.

I had a loose plug when I last changed them. Luckily there was no lasting damage but sounds as though it could have been a lot worse!

seems to have happened to a fair few DC5s with varying damage. Hopefully this explains why and people stop using the BKR7 as an alternative!

Interesting, this is what had been fitted to my DC5, might be worth pulling them out in this case.

I've just checked the last set I bought and they are BKRs,supplied via japserviceparts.co.uk

I'm tempted to try and source the recommended IFRs and pull these ones out.

Dumb question, how are people checking their plugs? There's none of this info in any of the invoices or on the HTune site where I bought mine from recently.

They aren't compatible with K-series in general. I recall ordering some from Tegiwa (given they advertise them for K and B )for my old ep3. I had it in at Hond-R for some other bits and mentioned I'd ordered some but they informed me correctly. Sent them back and have always used IFRs since.

Well I have contacted japserviceparts.co.uk just to notify them. If it saves somebody trashing their engine then it's worth getting the word out there.

OK so japserviceparts.co.uk have replied to my email.

They have confirmed that the BKR plugs are suitable for the k20a and a2 engines.

Either there is a conflict of information floating about or somebody is telling porkies.

 

[ollieh17]

Defo a conflict of information. If you go on NGK UK site it only states ikr

Great post, I‘ve ordered some up just to be safe as due some!! Cheers
