What’s
The Secret behind DENSO’s Iridium Patent! Iridium? A Pattern from Spark to Ignition.
&USA
Plug electrodes conventionally have used nickel and platinum. These were not pure metals, Electrodes have a quenching (cooling) affect (where the heat of the ignited
but alloys containing other metals. Depending on the composition of the alloy, the matrix flame kernel is taken away by the electrode). This cooling affect is greater
material’s properties can be maximized. Using the same approach, iridium is alloyed with with larger electrodes, sometimes causing the ignition to stop short of the
rhodium. The rhodium layer covers the iridium, improving the properties of the iridium. This stage in Figure 4. To improve ignitability, the contact area between the
iridium/rhodium technology was recognized by the Patent Offices of Japan and the UK, and electrode and the flame kernel must be reduced. Improved ignitability is
in January 1999, a patent was granted in each respective country. (Patent Number - Japan: why electrodes have been made fine as possible.
2877035, UK: 2302367). Because DENSO had this patented technology, DENSO was able

How to Choose a Racing Plug

● Generally, electrodes that project into the combustion chamber have better ignitability and have better performance. However, because of more exposure to
Warning: On choosing high temperature combustion gases and because ground electrode becomes longer, heat resistance and durability decrease. The higher the level of tuning,
the right racing plug the greater the need is to use a less projecting type.
● As the level of tuning is increased, so does the need for higher heat range.

Low heat range and high heat range

Low heat range plugs have long insulator leg sections and the surface
area affected by the flame and the gas pocket capacity are large.
Also, since the heat release path from the insulator leg section to the
housing is long, heat dispersal is low and the temperature of the
center electrode rises easily.

Warnings for Your Safety and Instructions for Use

Warning
●Before changing or adjusting the plug, please switch off the engine first. Otherwise, it may cause a fire or an electrical shock.
Instructions for Use

●When the product is installed on an altered or modified vehicle engine, the product may be struck by valves, pistons, or other parts and cause damage.
●Please do not drop the plug onto a floor, or similar hard surfaces. It may cause internal cracks or alter the spark gap, damaging the functions of the plug.
●Before using the product, please carefully read the instructions on the reverse side of the package and use the product appropriately as described.
When using a plug with a terminal nut

When using a plug with a terminal nut, please tighten the nut securely with a pair of pliers or a similar tool. If the terminal nut is crimped onto the plug, the nut may
loosen during use due to vibration. Therefore, we recommend that you check it regularly. If the terminal nut becomes loose, please tighten it securely. If you use
the plug with a loose terminal nut, it may be a cause of engine malfunction.
When to replace spark plugs Recommended replacement guidelines Recommended replacement guidelines

*Note: Use in a small-engine vehicle, a tuning vehicle, that are usually operated under high-rpm conditions may result in a shortened lifetime of the plug.
How to select a spark plug; failure modes

When choosing a spark plug, please confirm the specifications in your vehicle's manual, maintenance manual, and matching chart by automobile manufacturers in this
book, in order to choose the appropriate plug for size and thermal value. The heat range of the plug needs to be increased, such as from No. 16 to 20 or 22,
depending on the degree of tuning if your automobile has a rebuilt engine or is equipped with any of the following parts that have been modified: muffler, ignition coil,
spark plug wires, turbo engine, commercial electric ignition system, NOS, etc. When the correct plug is not installed, it may generate fuel fouling, exhaust smoke, or
pre-ignition, and cause failure of your automobile. Please check page 35 for the correct thermal value to use, and page 36 that lists some failure modes of spark plugs.
How to choose a racing plug

● is for racing and tuning vehicles. Please choose a plug heat range that is suitable to the level of tuning, based upon the heat range of an
normal plug and .
●Generally, electrodes that protrude into a combustion chamber have better ignitability and better performance. However, due to more exposure to high temperature
combustion gases and because the ground electrode is longer, heat resistance and durability are decreased. The higher the level of tuning, the greater need there
is to use a less-projecting plug type.
●As the level of tuning is increased, so does the need for a higher heat range tolerance.
Adjustment of the spark gap

●For ordinary plugs, please adjust the gap if it has widened at the time of inspecting the plug. Please adjust it to the specified gap of each automobile manufacturer.
●If the center electrode has become rounded, or worn only on its edges, please replace it with a new product.
●Please do not adjust the spark gap of any plug with a fine electrode, such as a platinum or iridium plug. Any adjustment may damage the center electrode.
Service Lifetime
The service lifetime of a spark plug may be shortened due to driving
conditions or ignition properties when used in a vehicle equipped with a
simultaneous ignition system (plus-minus discharge and D-DLI ).
Please ask your dealer to check if your vehicle is equipped with a
simultaneous ignition system.
A simultaneous ignition system, as shown in the images, has two plug
wires connected to a single coil.
