NGK plugs for 3SGTE are BKR6ES (Std) or BKR6E (V-power)

is 3SGTE the Turbo Engine?

[LimeyMk1]

Yep!

[Tickover]

Cheers dude..
Wil those plugs work ok in the NA?

[LimeyMk1]

3SGE (NA) takes different plugs to the turbo, they're BCPR5ES-11 (standard) or BCPR5EY-11 (v-power). Strangely enough the same as the Mk1.

Your local auto factors or Halfrauds should be able to supply them.

Sorry I looked at the car description before the title, I thought the MK2 GT was the Turbo version, my bad!

Gona have to contest you on that Limey

Actually............... 3SGE takes BKR6EYA DEFINATELY!!!!!

Taken from my UK manual - Tickover, do you have a UK owners manual? If so, its in there near the back, if not get the ones above - they are defo the right ones and just replaced mine this week. All is tickity boo!!

[LimeyMk1]

Fair enough Leeroy , I was looking at NGKs site and that's what they had for the 3SGE. It was an earlier 3SGE so may have been the AFM version?

[Leon.]

no worries mate, I did wonder whether a '92 would be different to '98 but the spec was for 3SGE - not specifying age/rev - so I would probably go with the ones I recommended. Grade 5 is also quite warm and may not perform so well at higher temps?

[Tickover]

Cheers guys, ill go get myself some of them then...
I am trying to get hold of a manual now so if you know best place let me know!

Hit this!!

Got mine from the same guy/gal. Its a US manual but covers the 3SGTE, which is very similar to ours, except of course for the turbo.

For £4.50 inc P&P, its a good buy.

Cheers Leeroy

So I go get some BKR6EYA ... whats the GAP? 0.8mm like the Tubby?

[Leon.]

Yeh, BKR6EYA - get them from your local auto factors, mine were about £11 for 4! The gap should be 0.8mm, and this is how they come so no mod needed.

HTH

Cheers guy. got the plugs and fitted.. much better, only paid £7.29 for 4

[Leon.]

NICE!!

So, yours were £4 cheaper than mine, nearly 40% less!!
