Spark plug NGK or Denso

I run the Denso.

Denso 5749 non projected

I got some good tips from the community and went with Denso IKH24. Also bought a gap tool to properly gap them. Im planning on swapping them out every 8k.

Almost everyone either runs the HKS plugs or Denso plugs. I personally have had no issues running the Denso plugs.

I went ahead and replaced all 4 coil packs and plugs as well as the PCV valve. Since I have to order parts, it seemed faster than checking the plugs and swapping coil packs, as well as good insurance, since the coil packs and PCV valve were (over)due for replacement anyway. It took about an hour without rushing. Took about a 30-minute test drive, highway and town, and the engine's running smoothly. Ran a scan when I got home, and no new fault codes, so I cleared them all out and the check engine light went out.

I have always used double plat or ngk laser iridium with no issues in my 2.5.

I ran stock plugs for a while and they got chewed up fast. On NGks now and even pushing 29 psi they keep the gap well.

I run the IS38 FBO and beat the crap out of my car and use stock heat-range Rutheniums.

I bought the plugs from Toyota (Denso). I asked for the old plugs off. The plugs I got back were NGKs that were installed at the factory. I can’t say I notice a difference really (except new plugs did seem to make a difference).

I said from the get go that the Densos were running like ****. Especially at wot around 110mp/h it felt like the engine was hesitating and lacking power. Idle was smoother with the Denso though.
