I need one step colder plugs...plz help
I have been trying to find 1 step colder plugs for my 2.2. I have a full garrett kit and I ordered 1 step colder plugs from ottp but they failed to mention they were for an ss/sc. I tried to contact ottp but no call back. So I got screwed on some spark plugs. THey are in the car now and I get a rough start up when the car is cold obviously b/c the plug threads are too short and not the correct heat range at all.
I need to know the best place to get 1 step colder plugs to use for my turbo set up.
Part number?
also what gap?
Any information will help, thanks

NGK LTR6IX-11 are the same size as stock but one step colder
they are iridium though so may run you a little more $$$ than copper plugs would

IonNinja has used them before, and they work ok, but I wouldnt recommend it because they are shorter then stock.

i gave u the part # like 3 times :p man get those out of there, i could of told u OTTP was going to get you the wrong one, i got mine from aaron@TTR<<<great customer service and fast shipping, and dont expect OTTP to do anything about it, they sold u the LSJ plugs knowing they were not for a l61
u can cross reference the NGK plug to find a cooper alternative, autozone can do this

So are you having issues or do you just assume the stock plugs won't be good for you? I know the theory behind a colder plug, but i wouldn't even change them out until it becomes an issue...

I've been looking for this info as well
Still running the stock spark plugs for now but I'm not planning on going 100,000K on them like the GM manual says
At what mileage did you ditch the stock AC Delco plugs?

I just rolled over 17k on my car today. 17004 to be exact right now. The motor has about 4k on it so its kinda irrelivant. I switched because I needed colder plugs for the power Im making. The stockers should do just fine for you.
