• SOLID COPPER CORE: 98% pure copper core offers superior heat dissipation, conductivity and ultra wide heat ranges
• TRIVALENT METAL PLATING: Delivers superior anti-corrosion and anti-seizing properties, ensuring ease of installation and removal
• RECOMMENDED USAGE: Best for vehicles with OE fine wire platinum alloy plugs

NGK Iridium IX spark plugs are specifically designed for the performance enthusiast. Iridium IX provides outstanding acceleration, high fuel efficiency and durability. NGK Iridium IX plugs offer extreme ignitability and exceptional anti-fouling. Tapered cut ground electrode provides improved starting, idling and throttle response. The Iridium fine wire center electrode’s durability is six times harder than platinum. Iridium alloy’s extremely high melting point is perfect for today’s engines. For even greater performance consider upgrading to an NGK Ruthenium HX plug.

Product Features:

• SINGLE IRIDIUM TIP: Fine wire 0.6 millimeter iridium tip center electrode ensures high durability and a consistently stable spark
• IRIDIUM ALLOY CENTER ELECTRODE: Iridium’s density (6x that of platinum) and extremely high melting point is perfect for modern high efficiency engines
• TAPERED CUT GROUND ELECTRODE: Reduced quenching design produces outstanding ignitability, improved acceleration, fuel efficiency and durability
• SOLID COPPER CORE: 98% pure copper core offers superior heat dissipation, conductivity and ultra wide heat ranges
• TRIVALENT METAL PLATING: Delivers superior anti-corrosion and anti-seizing properties, ensuring ease of installation and removal
• RECOMMENDED USAGE: Modified or high performance applications, or as an upgrade to OE nickel alloy spark plugs

The ground electrode is cut-back from the center electrode to provide a gap. The face of the ground electrode is concave to provide a constant gap to the center electrode. This plug is designed use in all aftermarket cylinder heads used in different types of racing venues including oval and road racing.

Product Features:

• Opens spark face for better ignitability of flame kernel
• Retains less heat, transfers heat to shell faster – reduces risk of pre-ignition
• Dyno testing has shown proven power gains
• Cut-back ground electrode evolved from practice of grinding back the side electrode

Delphi OE technology ignition products are validated to match the vehicles system; OE quality replacement parts for the right fit , form and function; Delphi coils provide OE performance, durability and electromagnetic capacity level requirements.

Product Features:

• Delphi coils provide OE performance, durability and electromagnetic capacity level requirements
• Delphi ignition coils are designed to operate as part of an integral engine management system to insert power into spark plugs and ensure fast starts; consistent engine performance and optimized fuel efficiency
• Delphi uses winding process techniques to control the length of wire between adjacent windings; that’s important since more length means greater voltage differences and can create more pressure that could break down the insulation and wire coating
• We back our ignition coil design with proven materials, such as high quality wires and wire coating that resists the cracks, pin holes and imperfections that most often lead to failure issues
