Denso ITV24 plugs
 

Whats your feelings on these. My car has cai/tip. Got a Ap in the mail and fp internals. I have 22000 miles on it wondering if these would be a fit. Thanks for the help.

no need for those with you mods, maybe 1 step colder but on stock boost there is no need

Thanks. I was thinking that. But wasnt sure.

fuck denso's anyway when you do need new plugs

go with ngk

when is it a good time to change the plugs? I would personally swap the stock plugs for NGK's just dont know when to do it.

Current mods= Sure intake/TIP/Sure race pipe/COBB AP/turbosmart BPV/

Im taking the car to CP-e here in Maryland monday to get Cp-e HPFP/Cp-e FMIC/RMM installed

the stock plugs are ngk just leave the car alone lol

I'd go with the NGKs simply because I've had good luck with them. But, the Densos are still a quality product.

Usually you'd want to go with a step colder plug if you went with a more aggressive tune (raised the boost a notch or two).

If you're going to have a professional tune the car, I'm sure they'd let you know when/ if you need them

Are the Densos the ones they call like One step colder or something?

Azenmind, what rims are those on the blue speed?

The ITV22's are one step colder.
And the gap is a lot closer to what's recommended for the MS3. But, I think the ideal is still .028 (opinions vary). The NGKs need to be gapped properly out of the box.

The rims are Konig Kilograms. Simple. Clean. I like them.

@JakeMS3; if you're going to actually tune your car, then get the NGK LTR7IX-11 but leave the stockers in for now.

I will be running stage 1 tune on the AP next week when i get my FMIC and CPE HPFP.

Stage 1 w/upgraded Intake/TIP/IC/HPFP

I will wait until I get downpipe and CBE to go stage 2. Thats when I will probably upgrade the plugs. Thanks for the input. Where can I find those NGK's?

Pretty much any automotive supply store. I ordered mine through O'Reilly. Most people just order them offline. Just make sure you order the NGK Iridium IX (6510)'s

I bought mine on Amazon. They were like 35-40 bucks.

And I'm telling ya, you're doing yourself a major disservice running an OTS map over a custom tune. :)

I will try to find an e-tuner somewhere near me off the Cobb site and take your advice about getting a custom tune. I heard I can send them my data, they send me a map to download to AP then just flash the car. Im guessing when I get DP and CBE I will need another tune, especially for that DP!

*facepalm*

You have sooooo much to learn. :) Please don't mod you car until you come out to a local meet with Nator DC. Did you read any of those links I gave you in your introductory thread? Let us show you the way dude.

You're about to spend a lot of money and still end up with a slow car. LOL.

Haha! youre right bro I will standfast and just make it out to the next meet and go from there. Thanks for the input

Now we're talking. :) You'll thank me soon enough. Trust me.

I have a MWR card for Ft meade as well. Got it about 3 weeks ago so Im looking forward to helping out at an install party soon. Just have to get a grip on my school and I'll be good to go.

I suggest getting a new avatar, donating and starting an introductory thread in the Nator DC section.

Listen to CWP_MS3, he's giving you some sound advice here. You don't need someone close or local to you. My tuner lives in NJ and I'm in VA. A lot of shops claim to be "tuners" but in fact have no experience with this platform. They may end up doing more harm than good. Good luck.

I'd go take a look at any of the e-tuners listed on this site, all of them have tuned plenty of MS3s. I've heard nothing but awesome things about all of them.

You've got an excellent tuner that is local to you. You'll get a chance to meet him at our meets.
