Spark Plug Recomendations.

So... im a Subaru guy. This is my 1st non-subaru. With the Subaru's, ive learned only to run NGK's, they work best with the Motor.

So, im assuming the same with the 22R's. What is the best plug to run? And what do you guys have them gapped at?

Part numbers help, thanks

Either that or if your have upgraded the coil, igition go for the Iridiums.

But if you foul up the NGK's they are alot cheaper to replace.

Awesome, i love NGK so im glad to hear they are preffered for the 22R.

And when you say upgraded coil, what do they offer for that? I might wanna look into it as it seems my coil might be on its last leg (we'll find out after i replaced plugs)

You can pick and choose your flavor there. You'll also need good wires to transfer the spark, stock wires suck.

The truck has new wires. They are some crappy autolites tho.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll search for 22R coils and see what i come up with.

TMISIAK: DO you guys offer just the magnecore plug wires? I searched the site but all it came up with was the tune up kit. I just need those wires.

I prefer MSD myself. But you can run any kind of coil you want since 22R's have a external coil.

Then you can upgrade to a full MSD system and get some serious spark .

I'm using the stock OEM Toyota Denso plugs, bought them from the dealer but I figured might as well.

I'd suggest some new genuine stock wires, they work fine and will continue to do so for many years to come. NGK also makes a decent wireset, especially when you consider the price.

For plugs, Denso ones are about $10/set at the Toyota dealership. NGK are fine as well.
