A few of us are using NGK EGV\'s with good results, you might like to try and the\'re cheap SEE HERE

Or if you want to spend the extra TRY HERE

For those interested in info on the EGV\'s SEE HERE

You will need to use a thin wall plug socket or grind a std. one down to fit.

same \'ere.. only problem so far has been losing my thin wall socket

Took a set out on Saturday that had done about 2,500 miles, tiny bit of wear on the electrodes but otherwise looked fine.

Where have you guys purchased a thin wall socket from for the EGV\'s? I\'m about to give up.

I\'ve made two myself. You\'ll need a hex socket with no rounded bits on the corners

I stuck my socket in a cordless drill, stuck it on low speed and ground it down with an angle grinder until it was paper thin at the end

Thanks for that fro. But how about making a 3rd one?

If I can find someone with a lathe, I\'ll make a load of them..

anyone got a lathe?

Cheat Freddy buy a normal socket and take the lower outer edge of on a bench grinder takes about 10mins to do it right. Don\'t worry about the socket walls being thin as the casting around the plug hole supports the socket so it won\'t split. Been running mine for three months including the dyno run took them out sat as a precaution before going down the strip but i\'d no need to change them to be honest. Car ran faultlessly both days on the strip so i for one won\'t be going back to Iridiums.

yup they\'ll be fine. I\'m using B10EGV in mine (single turbo running 0.9bar)

without the thin wall socket they\'ll be impossible to fit though

10\'s and 11\'s in mine running (single turbo running.94bar)

Thanks for the advice guys, I\'ll give it a shot tomorrow.

Running NGK\'s 10\'s and 11\'s brought from ReWorx with little bother :god

got some of the EGV plugs, got them in the car but what a pain to fit, need to find an engineering place to sort out a socket to tighten the plug, got the plugs in and tightened but think they need abit more...

does anyone wanna borrow me their socket in exchange for a drink? can you give you deposit or something until i send it back...pretty please :god :Giggle
