Thread: Useful Nissan Sentra Information

no bosch plugs will not make your car run like ****, unless maybe you don't know how to gap plugs

what makes people think that they will?
they are manufactured the exact same as any other plug
all your spark plug does is exactly what the name implys it supply spark which ignites the fuel

are you saying a bosch plug has some weird GM only spark? and that an import car modifies the fuel before it gets to the combustion chamber and the bosch plug gets confused and nolonger knows how to ignite fuel?

but ngk plugs have a brain and know that they are in an sr20 and activate the super special import spark pattern to make your car run correctly

i think not people

stock b14 stuff is off, i ran 15.6 stock in min 200sx top speed is not true cuz of governor :O lol but i had mine to 130 with a g20 ecu and exhaust

B13 with SR20DE:
0-60mph = 7.6 seconds
1/4 mile = 15.7 seconds
Top speed = 128mph

B15 with QR25DE(Spec-V)
0-60mph = 7.4 seconds
1/4 mile = 15.4 seconds
Top speed = 140mph

so is this telling me that a spec v is only .3 seconds faster with 35 more HP then the b13 wtf???

spec V power to weight ratio FTL

I think they are talking about stock rims.

Thats interesting though, I will have to try that.



I agree, I personally get better gas mileage on my 1.5 year old Bosch's, then on my 4 month old NGK BKR6E-11's. This is why I think they could be bad.





Like matt_pound said the Spec V weighs more. Technically the Spec V should be WAY faster just because of the ~40 more pounds of torque.

I know of a few stock V8 Mustangs that would take a mildly modded VE SE-R. I know because i raced a few back when i was first starting out with my b14.

Ahh Fair enough I'm surprised the VE is even up there though!

i kept up with a v8 mustang with my nx and all i got is i/h/e cams prothanes groundkit

I havent had good luck with bosch plugs in my nx or my maxima, and yes i know how to gap my plugs. I swear i remember reading on one of the forums in an old write up that most people havent had good luck with the bosch's, something to do with how far down the plug is physically in the combustion chamber or something like that.

I could be wrong though.

On that note is anyone having trouble getting the ngk bkr7e's? It seems that advance auto cant get them at all anymore like they are not making them anymore. The only thing they can get for me in the same heat range is the bend me over the counter iridium expensive ones, and with how often i like to change plugs its not really worth it for me to use those.

^^ Bosch ones don't last long. 20k miles tops usually.
