I picked mine up at a local autofactors.

give them your reg, and it should be on the database.

i use iridium plugs too. they are a pain to change, so put good ones in there and you wont have to change them too often

Std plugs are NGK PFR6B gapped 0.7-0.8mm

Your BKR6EIX-11 are correct for grade although I think the -11 means they come pre-gapped at 1.1mm

I just checked my invoice from when i did the service last year. it says NGK BKR6EIX-11 Iridium
They only say dont re-gap iridium plugs because the electrode in the centre is very brittle.

you can re-gap them / check the gap if you want to, but dont squeeze feeler gauges in, you just have to be gentle!

theoretically.....

The bigger the gap the larger the spark = better combustion

The bigger the gap the more work the coil pack / ignition system has to work = possible premature failure

so its important to get it right with manufacturers recommendation.

however Iridium plugs are designed to put less strain on the ignition system hence they are pre-gapped, and the gap is significantly larger than standard

Not necessarily the place to buy but a good plug finder................

BKR6EIX is part no 6418

Thanks men. i have orderd the correct one's £27.35 off the bay.now the question is do you regap them to 0.8 or do you leave them at 11 as i think that is what the 11 is at the end of the part number BKR6EIX-11.
anyone have a ?

Checkout post 4 :crazy:

If you had got BKR6EIX (without the 11) they come gapped at approx 0.8mm to start with. :shrug:

4 x BKR6EIX-11 NGK IRIDIUM spark plug upgrade. Part Number: 3764

A performance upgrade for the following:

SUBARU FORESTER (SF) 1994cc YEARS: 09/97-->09/02
Models: . EJ20
Direct replacement for standard plug type: BKR6E-11
so looks like a bit of a tap reqd

The 1.1mm gapped plugs are listed for the N/A versions of the EJ20

 

[rally58man]

Don. I presume these plugs will be ok when re-gaped to .8

Rallyman, I am quoting from the 2000 Subaru Forester manual:

"Spark Plugs: NGK BKR6E (without cat), Champion RC10YC4 (with catalyst), NGK PFR6B (turbo).

Spark Plug Gap: BKR6E (NGK):0.7-0.8mm (0.028-0.031 in.), RC10YC4 (Champion): 1.0-1.1mm (0.039-0.043 in.), PFR6B (NGK) 0.7-0.8mm (0.028-0.031 in.)"

Hope that helps ??
