Sparkplugs for V70 T5 running LPG?

Gareth83 · Jul 16th, 2011, 21:41

Am I right in saying LPG converted cars run better on copper plugs?

If so are Champion RC7YCC suitable for my 300bhp 2001 V70 T5 on LPG?

Thanks

I wouldnt use anything other than the standard Genuine Volvo T5 plugs . Any others can and do cause problems .

Is that definitely the case with LPG? I'm pretty much sure a few people have recommended using copper plugs including Classicswede and Captain Jack.

that you can use NGK BPR6ES

Can anyone definitely advise from experience?

NGK BPR6ES are the plugs to use.

For LPG copper core plugs give teh best results and using other plugs could lead to engine damage.

Funny enough I was just about to start a thready on plugs!

Dai, I'll be in touch this week with a trade name...

Do you know of anyone breaking a geartronic? I'm after the input speed sensor...

Well those plugs arrived and they do not physically fit!!

Anyone want them for £8 delivered?

I spoke to ngk technical and they said a 6 is too low, you need at least a 7 in relation to a c70 with same engine
