JSHEE34756 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Seems our banshees share the NGK BR8ES plug with mitsubishi's 91 galant and 02-04 Lancer. I came across a spark plug company with a new kind of plug design catch my eye recently. Don't know if anyone heard of them but there called HALO spark plugs. I am kinda interested to test them out in the banshee, Got a set for my car and have no complaints but have nothing to brag about either since I don't have any equipment to test any actual differences as they claim. The actual design that they point out does have some good points but then again could just be equivilant to snake oil, did alittle cross research and used the lancer as referance for the banshee and they sell this which is equal, http://www.lsgbrisk.com/products/product.aspx?id=68&recordId=4630, Damn interesting. Youtube and there site has a few videos of these plugs, Interesting claims if you read there site. I always like testing new stuff. Thought I share, NGK is a good plug but hell why not? Once I get 4 of them i'll post a follow up for the hell of it. Anyone here use them in any of there toys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The r in br8es stands for resistor plugs. I have tried different plugs and with some have put a hole in the top of the piston which was a new top end. Stick with the b8es plugs and concentrate on other areas to gain power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the clarification. I have no idea why the yuppie idioit that sold me my banshee is running br8es in it and gave me 2 new ones also, I thought that was the normal plug and never bothered to actually check. I will go out and get the the correct plugs ASAP. I still got alot to learn about this quad yet I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, In defense to myself so I don't look like an idioit again like my oil topic, Perhaps why the br8es plugs were used is it seems my igniton coil says DYNA on it and I did alittle looking around and seems its aftermarket and also people do use the br8es HQ actually has a topic which just answered my question. As for me not liking the seller I got my shee from thats another story. Edited June 6, 2010 by JSHEE34756 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf44 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I use the br8eix platinum plugs. More expensive but i can run one set all year. Easier starting and just plain ol great plug. I got everyone in our group to switch to them after they all tried them. They swore by another plug to. Cant remember what one. You cant go wrong with the b8es, but ive never looked back after going to the br8eix platinums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 looks like another obtrusive plug to me....i have thought about the design of a ring electrode for years, and the only answer i could find was to make it really thin to be reliable, and still open, but eh............i run denso irridiums, if you want to try that, too........i swear, i should have fouled these things out several times.....let me remember........iw24?

Larry's Shee Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Snake oil. Simple function , simple device . If there were a better way the auto companies and pro racers (ie John Force) would be using them. Biggest thing is to use proper heat range and size/length.

Sandfrk33 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 2002 and newer have br8es. Older models came with b8es. I don't know why newer models use resistors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firebanshee Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 If you run non resistor plug caps on your bike you have to run resistor plugs or you will damage your cdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSHEE34756 Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I figured snake oil, Speaking of yuppie idioit, How does putting a dyna sticker on I think is a stock CDI sound? Somthing did not look right about my CDI and the label since I could not find the exact model and sure enough I peel back the sticker and it says denso under it. I am going to give the platniums a try, Can't go wrong with a rare metal that was once radioactive "iridium-192". I truley wish they would have made them firestorm plugs. They looked the most impressive out of all the other BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 You could always use a Semi Surface Discharge plug. The draw back to them is low speed performance. http://www.sparkplugs.com/files/NGK%2007%20racing_catalog.pdf http://www.ngk.com/results_cross.asp?pid=r6601-8&x=12&y=10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbeast Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Electricity takes the path of least resistance, so really having the halo thing instead of the regular prod is pointless, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 iridiums seem to be the way to go. i run the E3 diamond fires in my turbocharged car and they last alot longer than standard plugs. they dont make them for the banshee yet.

Yeah I was looking at them E3's. What country they made in? I buy anything as long as there not from china. The E3 is very similar to the halo. I made a mistake on my last post, When I said platnium I meant I am going to try the iridium plugs, I seem to be fouling out my right plug to often and I can tell my right pipe smokes more then the left, Time for a tuneup on the jets I guess.
