I am currently using autolite copper spark plugs. I bought them from car quest, but you can also get the same plugs cheaper at WalMart.

Is it a 1.8L pro? NGK BKR5E for N/A BP. I use NGK BKR7E for my turboed BP.

Never use anything but NGK or Denso in japanese engines, which are OE brand plugs. Some people get away with cheap plugs but I have seen too many problems with random misfires and running like crap when people cheap out on spark plugs like autolites or think they are upgrading running Bosch platinum whatever. A perfect example is a Celica GT-S with the 2ZZ-GE engine. It will set a check engine light if you install anything but OE plugs, and that includes even the most expensive Bosch plugs.

Save the Autolites for your domestic small block boat anchor.

BKR6E-11 is one heat range colder. In NGK plugs, 6 is one heat range colder than 5. The number after the hyphen represents the electrode gap (11 = 1.1 mm).

In Denso plugs, 16 is equivalent to NGK 5, and 20, one heat range colder, is equivalent to NGK 6.

Absolutely, I couldn't agree more.

Happy Motoring!

So for my original pistons engine can I use BKR6E or I need use BKR6E-11? different between they are?

[jumpncrash]

honestly I don't know, I've never seen a non 11 plug...
oh wait
check this out I just found an awesome guide.
From the guide, I think that if you get the ngk bkr6e, it just means they're ungapped.
The number after the model represents the gap size.

BKR5E: V-Power, nickel alloy type with an .9 mm (.035") gap. Not listed for use in any Mazda. Other than the gap, same dimensions as BKR5E-11.

BKR6E: V-Power, nickel alloy type with an .8 mm (.032") gap. Not listed for use in any Mazda. Other than the gap, same dimensions as BKR6E-11.

Mazdagirl, use the correct -11 plugs with a 1.1 mm gap which are meant for the Mazda Proteges and clones. Neither NGK nor Denso plugs are meant to be re-gapped; that's why they're made in a variety of electrode spacings.

Both the BKR5E-11 and the BKR6E-11 plugs also have equivalent precious metal electrode types (platinum and iridium/platinum) if you're looking for a longer-lasting, higher-performing spark plug.

Happy Motoring!

Now choised colder BKR6E-11, but need new wires to because 4. cylinder wire are damaged. NGK mayby not the best choise, friend was buy and 2 was with deffect. What are the good 5 wire kit? Hope that not to much OT.

Mazdagirl, I'm surprised the NGK wire set was defective. They are a quality product, have a good reputation and are used by many here without problems. Is it possible that it was just one defective sample?

I use Magnecor spark plug wires. They provide excellent performance and are very long-lasting due to their construction but they are quite expensive compared to the NGKs. I don't know if they would be available in Estonia but in case your interested I'll provide the website:

More good wires what somebody use?

NGK or Magnacore. Pretty much anything else won't last long.
