when i buy spark plugs especially NGK, i will look for the one with R spec.
example normal plug for saga is BP5ES. i will look for BPR5ES or, the easiest compatible is BKR5ES or BKR6ES.
the secret with R is Resistor.
for older cars, the resistor will absorb radio noise distortion. not complete, but will minimise it.
and personally speaking, i do not feel any power increase by using more expensive sprk plugs.
the advantage of using platinum type only becoz they last longer. up to 100,000km instead of 30-40,000km recommended for normal type.
such plugs useful for cars like perdana V6, or naza ria, or TCR10/20 estima where in case of plug change, the engine must be removed out first.
however, for my kawasaki 150, if i use NGK B9ECS, instead of recommended BP8ES it will make the combustion more efficient at high temperature engine operation as the chances of advanced ignition of misfire is minimsed.
