Hey all, So I changed spark plugs on my Optima 2013 Turbo. I used the NGK 1422, and I can definitely notice a pretty big improvement on both throttle response and Fuel Economy. Heck, my idling RPM went down to 800-1000 RPM (from 1200 or so). Anyway, this was my first time changing spark plugs...

Hey guys, I was at the dealer earlier and I had a very good experience and conversation with the folks there. Apparently, the new OEM spark plugs are a lot better than before. The tech even showed me. It looks just like my HKS. Can someone confirm if the new OEM plugs are a lot better now or...

So I've been trying for a few days to source some new plugs for my 2014 SX turbo, and the only place I can find a set is a Kia dealer who needs to special-order them in at $48 PER PLUG. No thanks, especially since they won't lube it up first! :lipsrsealed: I've found that NGK's website(s) do...

Hello guys. I purchased the HKS spark plugs to get Lap 3 Chip installed and it is causing a problem. A week and a half ago, I installed the spark plugs(gapped to 0.028) along with Lap3 chip(91 octane chip set, 93 fueled). The car was driving fine for a week, so I decided to try chip set to 93...
