I bought IK22's off ebay that were listed for a cooper S. I am now worried they are not the right kind.

Can anybody help me if I tell you the box says IK22#4 (5310#4) Ultra Fine 0.4mm Iridium.

I don't know if the plugs are very car specific or by the fact that they are IK22's does that mean they are fine?

THANKS MUCHLY!

 

That is the same plug I use. I started using them when I installed a 15% supercharger pulley. The Vendor that sold the pulley recommended, but did not sell these plugs to me. You have a 16% pulley so you are good to go - especially because you live in a warm place, too. In case you didn't know yet, the plugs you bought are a little cooler than the stock plug.

Be sure to torque the new plugs correctly! I think it is 25 ft lb.

 

And retorque them in a few days.

 

ok great, I knew I wanted the cooler plugs. I just suddenly panicked that you needed to get specially gapped ones or a certain barcoded one for your car - you know how it is with ebay, they could be for a Kia Sanfrantanasomething and I would have no clue!! Cheers for the help lads.

 

Enjoy!

 

it's 20 lbs. and do them COLD!!!!

 

And then check them routinely or you may have one in your bonnet and a stripped out hole in your MINI's head.

hahah great, way to fill me with confidence! I'll check them. was I stupid to buy them?

 

Im so confused again. I decided I should read up on gapping before I put them in. When I did my research it looks like people are gapping them at 0.04 to 0.045. I can't even fit the 0.03 (0.028/0.029 is ok) gap plate between any of mine straight out of the box. Any ideas? They had the protective caps and there was no sign of damage. I really want to put them in but would hate to be doing something wrong. 16% and now CAI is what I have power wise.

THANKS AGAIN!!!

 

Agh somebody must have noticed something similar before or know what the ik22 should be spaced at.

 

nobody?? pleaaase...I'll bake you cookies (you don't want me to bake!), sing a song, dance a wee jig...
