I have the e3's, dont really notice any diff., but what are you suppose to feel from plugs?!?

Don't know but i guess if you do feel something it might be bad like a mis fire it's not big enough to burn all the fuel and makes it sluggish maybe? i don't know this is why i posted and asked i know how to drive a stick or if the tire goes flat and i for sure know that you need a code for the radio if you have an 04 and i know that the thermastat is a big weak link. even the parts guy at the dealer said that to me. spark plugs and spark plug wires all i know is how to change them i don't know what gap they need to be or how big can i go on the wires and can i get them in blue?Originally Posted by Blade979
You did WHAT? to your Aveo? HAHAHAHAHA
Yeah, what the heck is "cutting" a plug to get better performanceOriginally Posted by fabricatorx

A couple of the dragfags I know do this... they grind down the arm so that there's as little as possible over the electrode... supposedly it lets the air/fuel mixture ignite and expand easier.
You'll get a day out of the plugs at most.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.
lol gotta agree with you on that one. They way i look at it is that they're a power recover, not a power add. i laugh everytime the wanna-b-ricers say that getting "performance" plugs add 2-5hp...Originally Posted by exodus
Bosch plugs are garbage at best. The resistances of those are all over the charts, check it with a multimeter if you want. The multiple electrodes of the plugs really mean nothing. If i were to buy new plugs, for a N/A application, like for my aveo, I would buy NGK Copper cores, gapped to .032-.034. BKR6E-11 is the NGK part number. That is a VERY common spark plug. Most NGK suppliers will have that one on hand, and also check local motorcycle shops, hondas and yamahas run that plug as well, which is where i get mine. They are less than 2$ a piece and beat out the Bosch $6+ plugs.
they are spark plugs guys, hate to tell you but you are just wasting money on good spark plugs unless you have high compression or turbos spark plugs are spark plugs especially on an ageo. just get white ones so they work thats all.
thats what i bought, $1.99 each from SummitOriginally Posted by kirko

I put in the NGK Iridiums and noticed a difference from the original NGK v-groove. The pick up is so different, I could feel a reaction when I accelerated.
Iridiums for me. As for the wires I bought the Magnecor ones from Gravana I'm happy with them, so far.
