...and i was shopping for spark plugs. I picked up the associated book, i think it was the NGK one and looked up the TN magna. Anyways, according to this catalouge, the TM-P have 3.5L engines. I thought this was a typo so i looked up the blister pack, and it had 6 plugs in it.

So where are my extra 2 cylinders hiding? I mean i could undestand of it was listed as a 3.0L because of New Zealand, but damn!

Just annoying that i couldnt actually find the plugs i wanted and couldnt rely on what they said would fit the 2.6L astron. Had to go to Kmart for them.

Sure you looked up the right one? I used to work there and naturally, owning a magna, i looked at plugs, was ok for me...

yeah checked a few times

I have never had problems buying plugs at SCA for the Magna, they come in a four pack and are marked for the car. Weird.

odd error.
the 3L occurance is a standard error.
never heard of 3.5L b4. lol

Yeah ive seen them marked as 3.0l before aswell, but always with 4 in them... :rant:

i work there too hehe, ask the store person there about it, it could probably just be a crappy book, as i know with our globes book, half are wrong.....

just double check there with someone if not they'll look it up on the computer for ya

ngk book does not list 2.6 engines it would take BP5EY or BP5ES

has anybody upgraded to iridium spark plugs ? got a price from SCA ?
i know they are a bit expensive, but are they worth the upgrade ?

A little offtopic, but i whentt o buy a set of sparkplugs for my bro's commie and it said they were $54 or something.

Whent to pay for them and only got charged $20 :D

Yea, when I went into Supercheap the other day looking for TP suitable spark plugs, it read as being a 3.5L. I just assumed it was a typo and grabbed the NGK BP6ES 4 pack (i think) it recommended.

Has anyone actually tried out those really expensive spark plugs with the 4 contacts on them?
They came in a small cardboard case and were about $90.00+ or whatever for 4 spark plugs :shock:

there bosch super 4s, and there pretty good, yet there isnt a huge ammount to be gained over spark plugs though

For that price you would expect a bigger gain over the normal plugs lol. How much of a greater life span would they have?
