Hope this helps a few people...
Sprintex specified plugs are NGK IRIWAY7's. These are rather expensive at roughly $25-30 per plug BUT there is a cheaper alternative.
An IRIWAY7 is also sold as a BKR7EIX - basically a BKR7EIX-11 (1.1mm gap) regapped at 0.8mm.
Dont think about regapping a -11 - you will more than likely snap off the centre electrode.
I have found a good cheap genuine source of BKR7EIX's - (apologies for ebay link, but he posts FAST and goods are cheap). See seller wyninweis - (http://search.ebay.com.au/_W0QQsassZwyninweis)
Price for BKR7EIX is $12.49 each(!) so that comes to $74.94 (+~$10.00 express postage)
Plugs are excellent BNIB, not knockoffs or anything dodgy. Buy quantity of 1 and ask seller for 6 BTW (with the buy-it-now).
Here's the scoop on the plugs from NGK...
First lets address the IRI (WAY)(TOP)(MAC) series. These plugs have a .06mm Iridium center electrode with a tapered cut ground and are sold under the name Iriway, Iritop and Irimac throughout Japan and other select countries. In the USA and Europe these same plugs have been released under the IX iridium series and can be identified by there alphanumeric part #’s. The list below shows appropriate interchange. Both the IRI series and the IX series are produced in the same NGK factories in Japan. They are identical in construction; the only difference is packaging and marketing.
IRI series Alphanumeric part number
IRIMAC8 DCPR8EIX
IRIMAC9 DCPR9EIX
IRITOP7 BCPR7EIX
IRITOP8 BCPR8EIX
IRITOP9 BCPR9EIX
IRIWAY7 BKR7EIX
IRIWAY8 BKR8EIX
IRIWAY9 BKR9EIX
So... Hope this helps you save a ($hundred) on plugs next time you need to do them. Aussie NGK distributers have to charge different price points between the two! :rant:
Oil specs - Sprintex specify Penrite full synthetic HPR5.
