R50/53 Spark plugs to go with reduced pulley?
Spark plugs to go with reduced pulley?
So my serpentine belt has about had it its cracked all over and i have decided to get a 15% cravenspeed reduction pulley and smaller serpentine from Outmotoring. My question is what spark plugs should I get to go along with these mods all i know i need a colder rage plug. Advice on the best plugs to get from Outmotoring would be helpful thanks!!!!
My suggestion on a brand is ngk...
As for heat range, one step cooler, which means the JCW PLUGS...not sure of the number off the top of my head, but when you look up plugs, the books will list cooper, cooper s, and cooper s with jcw....that or any competant parts person can get you "one step cooler" than the stock s plug if they know how to read the standard plug....

Ok on the outmotoring website i picked the ngk irdium IX it gave me two options standard and colder. It doesnt say what heat range or recommend what to get with the pully so i picked colder am i going the right direction i just dont want to order them then have the wrong ones im shure i could just go to autozone and get some but i figured it might better to get them specifically from a mini website instead of asking som kid at a car parts store who doesnt know anything.
Sure the outmotoring site is fine...bought a few things from them...
Stock plugs for stock pulley, cooler or colder for the reductions.
I hesitate going to some of the big box places cause sometimes they are incompetent...a while back a person had a thread...got some kind of fuel saving plugs that were getting advertised a bunch at the time....(e-50 green plugs or something) was given the "cooper" ones for an S....struck the top of the pistons...wrecked the motor when the piston was damaged....
Thats why i do not hesitate to use our vendors.....and know 2 different ways to get the same part # when i get them locally to be sure!!

Check out our WMW pulley package, it has the pulley, belt and plugs.
We don't recommend the Iridium plugs as they wear out and fail too often. Our kit includes the reliable JCW plugs.
