That sounds like a part number for a 4G63 plug.

Here is a link to the NGK spark plug that cross references to Denso Iridium plugs. You never stated what brand plugs you actually bought.

http://www.iridiumpower.com/crossreference.asp?plugmaker_id=2&action.x=15&action.y=8

For those that are curious:

1 range hotter for N/A 2gnt cars IK16
stock range for N/A 2gnt cars IK20
1 range colder for turbo 2gnt IK22

I do not know what gap these should be set to. I am guessing they should be set the same as you use now or maybe slightly wider. I go through so many sets of plugs, that it does not pay to buy these. Standard NGK for me anyday. With tax it comes to less than $6 per set.

They're NGK's I told the guy I was going turbo in a few weeks and he got me these. They are for the Turbo eclipse's but what I need to know is will they fit and work like the BKR7E11 which I was told to get. I'm N/A by the way. So I guess I screwed up or either the cashier screwed up.

Return them and do not use them.

Buy the correct plugs for the turbo application and install them when you do the kit.

BTW: the 4g63 use a stock 6 heat range plug, but many have gone one range colder with a bigger turbo/higher boost.

yup.

Yep, the BPR6E's are for the stock 4G63. For a stock 420A, you could go with a one heat range hotter than stock, NGK BKR5E; and if you're turbo'd then you'll want to get the one heat range colder, BKR7E's.

Just for future reference and to save you a lot of headache. When you buy parts you have a NON TURBO car (even after the kit is on) You can tell your friends and us that you have a turbo but NEVER even say the word turbo to the guy at the parts counter.

Ok I took the spark plugs back and order the bkr7e11s . They only charged me 1.39 for each plug thats sounds alittle on the cheap side from what I keep on hearing from other people . It was about 5.00 or so total I was assuming around 14.00 did I get th wrong ones again?

That sounds right. The NGK's aren't expensive.

I get em for 17 bux a box of 10 at napa, so your good. Your lucky that they don't cost more, you will go thru some pretty quickly in the begining tuning stages of your car.
