Spark plug NGK or Denso

I run NGK on my 15. The car runs great doesn’t miss. I used OEM Denso 5339 but they lasted 10-15k but then I tried NGK 92182 and they’ve lasted bout 40k so I’ve had no issues with them both of them Iridium.

Stage 2 EQT E85 and NGK 91006 here, but I only order from NGK directly.

You can usually find DENSO IRIDIUM Spark Plugs , which are the OEM Supplier, for about $15 each at any Advance Auto or other major auto parts store.

Yesss got denso coils and spark plugs off their site and they have been great

NGK Laser Iridium 94124 is the OE plug. Just stick with the OE Plug.

For spark plugs I always used NGK because that's what Motorcraft actually uses if I remember correctly. Autolites are complete garbage and always fouled out the few times I used them.

You can honestly just run stock plugs on the 1.8 with OTS tuning for stage 1/IS20/38. I ran these same VW/NGK "RS7" plugs including track use for thousands of trouble free miles.

And, before you get too far, are you replacing with the right plugs? I presume it’s the 2AZ 4-cyl since you’re not asking us how to get to the back plugs. The right ones are the Denso Iridium Long Life or the NGK Laser Iridium.

Bought some Denso 3450 Irdium plugs online. After reading about counterfits. I decided to test mine.

All are gapped .43 for the OEM spec for a 2014 Nissan Xterra. I measured the Irdium electrode tip which is 0.7mm and appears blue

I unknowingly sourced (6) NGK ILZKR7A Spark Plugs a year ago from eBay and installed them at 60K miles on my 3.6 VR6. I found out last week that the plugs were fakes. About a month ago I started getting random misfires. After detailing the issue in this thread here: https://forums.vwvortex.com/showthr...VR6-Cyl-2-Misfire-When-Taking-Off-Quick-From-Stop-Suggestions&highlight=Misfire I pulled the spark plugs and checked them last month and noted the gap was pretty far out of spec (weird for only being a year in), so I gapped them and reinstalled and the problem went a way for a few weeks. Last week I had another misfire, so I chalked it up to a bad batch of spark plugs and resigned to buy and install a new set.
