Since the G-Power's side electrode has no special hard metals, it will wear
out as fast as normal copper plugs, i.e. around 30~40k km. So, Super 4
gives better value for money in terms of longevity.

chris7027, The original Iswara/saga plug gap is 0.8mm.
About Super 4, the gaps are set at 4 different mm, that's why it is 4
legged and can't be regapped or side gapped.

Thanks cmpong for de explanation ya... But my car sometime when turn de
ignition key to start..de car will start up in 1 second in 1st crank.. But
sometime it needed 3-4 second to start up on de 1st crank.. And sometime
too it needed 2nd crank to start de car by pressing de car petrol pedal...
I thought by changing to a better spark plug can solve de problem...but
still de same wor... Any idea how to have a fast start up on de 1st
crank..? Some suggested to get better & thicker plug cable for de
ignition...is it true..?

BKR5EGP and BKR6EGP G power platinum are gapped at 1.1mm, BPR5EGP and
BPR6EGP are gapped at 0.8mm.

I'm regular user of G power (BPR6EGP), found that the performance is
fine. The drawbacks are, bad cold idling and short lifespan. Bosch can
generally last longer but performance is just above average.

Chris, most of the LMST are like that, you need to press on the
accelerator a bit during cranking. Anyway, we just cannot expect the same
quality of crank start like the fuel injection model.

YSW,

So, do u mean that g power is better than super 4 in terms of performance?
But super 4 will last longer? For wira 1.5 injection, do I need to choose
1.1mm gap got g power? Need u all's opinion which is better for these 2
plugs. TQ

Actually the difference created by spark plug is very little. its ok that
you either choose Bosch or NGK or even Denso, Champion and etc.

Generally, 1.5 injection (step 2, Siemen VDO) should be fixed with 1.1mm
gapped plug. The part no is BP5ES-11, hence if you want a platinum with
built in resistor, and 1.1mm gap, you need to go for smaller spanner hex
(16), BPR5EGP. When the engine is warmed up, I would say the G power will
perform a bit better than Bosch, be it YYtrium plus or Super 4. But Bosch
has a flagship model called Iridium Platinum Fusion, I think it should
perform better than G power and should at par with other Iridium models.

NGK Iridium can last quite well..my ex set last me 80k km...i also forget about it untill i read my
record book.

spark plug is also very depend your engine condition and driving habbit, generally it last quite well for
NGK brand.

Bosch super 4 i not sure.

Isawa/saga from 1st gen to last gen is using BPR5EIX with 0.8mm gaping.

If using 1.1mm, some maybe feel mis-fire and FC will be affected, but some just feel normal je..

Generally, using 0.8mm (if your engine need it), u will feel better FC/power if u using back 0.8mm.

my friend gain extra 100km per tank.

YSW,

Please advice.
Thanks.
