Even more confusing I decided to look at the part finder for Japanese imports at NGK's Australian website and the results are:
1993.9 - 1997.9 MAZDA LANTIS 1800 - BP-ZE Recommended Plug BKR5E-11 Iridium Option BKR5EIX-11 1993.9 - 1997.9 MAZDA LANTIS 2000 - KF-ZE Recommended Plug BKR6E-11 Iridium Option BKR6EIX-11 So what's the difference between the import and the local 1800 BP motor? |

ok, so far we have :
1. twilightprotege - 4 x heat 5 ZF 2. chicaboo - 4 x heat 5 ZF 3. SehnKhan - 4 x heat 5 BK 4. mizda - 10 x heat 6 BK 5. boosted - 6 x heat 6 ZF 6. sabrelli - 4 x heat 5 ZF 7. skippy - 6 x heat 6 ZF 8. ezin - 4 x heat 5 ZF 9. raven - 4 x heat 6 ZF 10. mrpayner - ??? 11. nalawa - ??? ezin - yes 5 is the hottest regularly available. and yes because our cars run way too rich, a hotter plug will be good. raven - what engine do you have? payner - zf's are the same as bk's yes, just longer tip. zf's are available in 5 and 6 heat range, bk's are in 5,6,7 and probably 8 and 9 nalawa - the v6's require the 6 heat range, the 4's require the 5. all - if you are not sure which heat range you need to get, take out one of your plugs and have a look at it. then compare it to this site : http://www.dansmc.com/spark_plugs/sp...s_catalog.html find which picture matches the plugs most accurately. they you'll know for sure what heat range is best. at the moment, my 6 heat range plugs look like picture no 7 - "cold or rich but ok". this is why i'm going to try heat range 5. |

hey yeh i've done a search on the ngk site for which plugs to use on the BPT and they suggested the
Recommended Plug BKR6E-11 1.1 Iridium Option BKR6EIX-11 1.1 so i'll grab 2 sets (8 plugs) if thats ok.. can you just double check these are the right ones for the bpt... it says the bpt and the bp motor use the same plugs.

Using the SPARK PLUG FINDER : Cars, 4WDs & Commericals : Mazda : 323 Astina : 07/94 - 09/98 1.8L DOHC BP : BKR6EIX-11 Using the SPARK PLUG FINDER : Japanese Imports : Mazda : Lantis : 1993.9 - 1997.9 1800 BP-ZE : BKR5EIX-11 This was why I asked the question what the difference between the J-Spec and the Oz 1.8L BP engine was. That said I am going to go with what the Owners Hand Book says, so I'll have a set of four (4) BKR5EIX-11 if you please Mr Organiser Chris PS. Anyone know how much a set of NGK Ignition leads will lighten my wallet? |

4 x heat 5 ZF seem to be the go for the 1.8 so put me down for some.

1. twilightprotege - 4 x heat 5 ZF
2. chicaboo - 4 x heat 5 ZF 3. SehnKhan - 4 x heat 5 BK 4. mizda - 6 x heat 5 ZF 5. boosted - 6 x heat 6 ZF 6. sabrelli - 4 x heat 5 ZF 7. skippy - 6 x heat 6 ZF 8. ezin - 4 x heat 5 ZF 9. raven - 4 x heat 6 ZF 10. nalawa - 4 x heat 5 ZF 11. cloudland - 4 x heat 5 ZF 12. mazdabator - 4 x heat 6 BK 13. mrpayner - ??? 14. chipa - 4 x heat 5 ZF 15. chimpy - 4 x heat 5 ZF tidy - basically the idea behind iridium plugs is so that the tip (as seen in the pictures) is very very thin (0.6mm). this is because iridium has a much higher melting point than other metals and is a good conducter of electricity. the thin tip enables the spark to be more focused at the top of it to go across to the other part of the plug. a more focused plug means more spark power. in old plugs (ie copper and platinum), the tips had to be bigger because they'd just melt away in a few hundred k's. for more info, see : http://www.densoiridium.com/irid_power.php & http://www.densoiridium.com/faq.php Quote:
