That is internet webs bullshit certified there 100% (probably posted by HC or BDC lol

Last time I looked I am the water/meth expert, been running that stuff longer than anyone in a car that works, not just internet posts :), all you need to do is read my thread I have on Aquamist and here.....

The suggestion is as it is

R7420 (for any thing and everything)

p.s. IF!!! platinum spark plugs did what some cock smokers on the internet suggest EVERY SINGLE METHANOL FUELED ROTARY would detonate and blow up with uncontrollable pre ignition leading to detonation !!!!!!! FACTS are no such thing happens in 100 % fueled meth cars :ack2: the only time it happens is if you get the heat range totally WRONG and the element cannot transfer away enough heat to the body of the spark plug, only then will it act as a glow plug! The token amount of platinum by its own does not act as a catalyst unless it is a very fine wire and suspended in free air just like a true glow plug............. Terse reply but I am just totally sick and tired of reading regurgitated shit from people who have no idea of this at all, especially when it is directly contradicted every day at drag tracks across the world where people are running full meth and full platinum plugs, it simply does not get any simpler than that.

No problem at all is the nice reply, read my thread, see the performance level, see the durability. WM50 (same thing everyone now is copying on gayclub) pioneer all on R7420 plugs :)

If you only gave nice replies, we would have to conclude that an impostor had stolen your ID. :lol:

I didn't know for certain, that's why I asked. :) All I've heard are people spouting that this is how the glow plugs on a RC car work with the nitromethane fuel, they're platinum and it reacts with the fuel causing it to go off. It sounded good to me, I have no direct experience with it. Anything I've ever run meth or water/meth on has been running copper plugs. Good to know that I can run iridiums with platinum tipped ground electrodes. :icon_tup:

Another question for you. I've toyed with the B9EGV plugs in the past in my halfie FD. I did notice an instant increase in idle quality and throttle response, but I found that after some hard driving the ground electrode would break off on some of the plugs. It didn't matter if I was running race gas or meth with 91 octane. I shied away from those plugs because of that. Perhaps I was running too hot of a plug? Any suggestions there?

B*EGP is the one you want to use if you want to stay with the motorbike plug, its just the same except the it has a platinum ground pressed into the alloy plug body just like the expensive rotary only plugs. And there is an increase in quality as you noted due to non resistor amoung other hard differences like smaller centre (and in the EGP its platinum center and ground) its a high quality plug.

For rotaries I run these in B95EGP onwards (colder) depending on application.
If I get time I will line up all of these that have run long term in turbo rotaries and show what they look like.
For the B*EGV I never lost any ground ends like you have but always ran them in 10 and 11 heat ranges only.

V cheap for full race platinum plug

LO fucking L! at the tards in this ^ linked thread!

It's just guys voicing there options, like what is written on all these forum. Just don't understand the name calling.

Had been running R6725-9/10 since 2005 (went single turbo) until about 2010-2011 when I switch to the newer R7420-9/10. Why, they just run so much better/smoother than B9/10EGVs.

People will spend big money for power mods then go cheap on plugs, why?

Been running the 2396 plugs for a long time now. Only recently tried the V-power plugs. Around 5 years ago I had a slight misfire at the top of 4th gear. using the 2396 plugs. Say it was 85% tuned. Ran 10.5 at 139. Guys in the pits got me to try the high dollar plugs. Did and the car ran 10.5 at 140 but with no misfire. Then I noticed the difference in gap between the 2396 plugs and the high dollar plug. Re-gaped the 2396 plugs and made another pass. 10.5 at 140.

the high dollar plugs do have there place but I'm not there yet. So far the 2396's have taken me to 145 mph in a 2600+lbs car with out spending lots of money on the ignition system.
