dexter morgan Member 11 Member For: 14y 7m 27d Posted 26/04/10 09:38 AM Share Posted 26/04/10 09:38 AM (edited) Does anybody know which plugs are better for my BA 04 XR6T? the Bosch F1-6 platinum iridium or the NGK iridium BKR6EIX? Should I just get the stock factory Ford plugs (AGSP22Z11)? Does anybody know which plugs will work the best in my BA XR6T 04??The bosch F1-6 platinum plugs have 4 prongs around the electrode so they do look different.I can also use the cheaper NGK plugs FR6EI-11 if there are better but I dont think so as the are very cheap.

The factory plugs work best in these cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would find 4 electrode ones normally in aircraft engines, and many racing motoX bikes run 2 electrodes and the difference in the MX bike between 1 and 2 can be quite significant.

I set them to .8mm.Done now just on 38,000km's.The first thing I noticed was the fuel consumption. The car uses about .5 to .6 litres less fuel per 100km's on the highway.Got them from Ebay. Ford BA Falcon XR6T XR6 Turbo NGK Iridium Spark PlugsIncluding postage about $13.56 per plug. Item Description:Set Of 6 New NGK Laser Iriduim Plugs To Suit Ford BA Falcon XR6 Turbo models 10/02 - 10/05 with the DOHC VCT Turbo Barra 240T motor.
