These would be badarse on a DSM! I've had mine for about 2 weeks and for me too, the change was very subtle, but the car does seem quite a bit smoother in the very low revs. That, and I'm able to run .030 gap on my car @30psi w/o issue. :)

nice, i struggle to run anything over .020

The plugs I bought come with the gap set to .032" so I'm going to give that a shot with my 26 psi. If that gives me trouble, which I doubt it will, I close it a bit to .030". KevinD, a tuner down here, was able to run an Evo on low boost (18 psi) with the gap set to .045" using this same COP.

I'm sure it'll be fine at .032 at 26psi. Plugs are a PITA to gap, mine might be a tish higher than .030, who knows. Don't forget that these are also said to improve gas mileage by a few MPG, keep an eye out for that.

Especially iridium plugs.

Here are my stock plugs with 46k miles on them, overall I think they look very good considering their age!

Nice. They don't seem too bad. Prolly like that 93 better than 92 shit.

Can you check if they have something for a DSM please?

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 
SpoolinUp is only making COP setups for the Evos right now. When I talk to him later today though I'll ask if he's ever considered making a DSM kit.

Jebus, I had to change plugs about every 500 miles in my talon. How the hell do you get that many miles out of them?

A good tune. :) My plugs have never not looked like that and my car has proven issues.

Time to buy an Evo I guess. ;)

Does the COP make each cylinder fire individually or is it still wasted spark?

Kracka 01-26-2010 01:47 PM

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 
I could be wrong, but I believe it is still wasted spark and fires the same as the stock ignition. I'm sure Scheides will correct me if I'm wrong on that though.

They are iridium spark plugs and Mitsu has a recommended replacement interval of 60k miles.

You're right! The thing is the DSM uses an ignitor that then leads to the coils, so I'm not sure quite how it would all wire together, since the evo doesn't (I don't think?) have one of these. I think you'd just need the right plug and then the wiring would of course be a bit longer. I'm sure its very possible :)

Re: Whats new with Teh Gheyrod...
 
I just measured my stock plugs and they came out at (passenger to driver side) .025", .025", .023", .027" gap (factory spec is .020-.024" gap).

The iridium plugs are made to last longer than our DSM copper ones. Might have something to do with why they look cleaner. The iridium ones on my Envoy are rated for 100k mile intervals.

I tried running iridium plugs in my DSM just after I got it (they came with the car), and on a stock tune with just a small 16g (14psi), the electrode was almost completely burned away in under 3k miles. Went back to regular plugs and never had another problem.
