NGK Iridium IX Spark Plug – BCPR7EIX (Stock No. 5690)
The NGK BCPR7EIX is a high-quality iridium spark plug designed for strong ignition and stable performance, especially under load. The fine iridium tip needs less voltage to spark, which helps cold starts, smooth idle, and clean combustion. The heat range 7 rating suits engines that run hotter or have light tuning, where a colder plug is specified.
Iridium also lasts longer than standard copper plugs, so intervals can be extended in normal use. The projected tip improves flame kernel growth for reliable burn. Use this plug where your vehicle or tuner recommends it.
- Fine-wire iridium centre electrode for a strong, consistent spark
- Colder heat range (NGK 7) for higher-temperature running where specified
- Resistor design to reduce electrical noise that can affect the ECU
Always confirm fitment with the vehicle lookup or the Vehicle Fitment tab before ordering.
