I have a 2jzgte swapped GS wit a big single turbo, stock fuel, ecu, 3 inch downpipe and cat back HKS Hi Power exhaust. I just put in the Denso IK24's and they are by far the best plugs I have ever used. They come pregapped which is nice. They are well worth the $52 if you ask me.

I just changed plugs and wires, I went with Denso NPIK16 plugs about 12 bucks a piece and Bosch wireset to compliment the Denso plugs, she purrs know Oh and my plugs came pre-gapped. You can't gap them, once you see the way they are made unlike the traditional plug, that looks like a lighter flint is sticking out of it that you can adjust the gap between the flint looking material and the metal hook on the plug, this one looks like a small piece of solder sticking out with no way of adjustment. They are Iridium and I have similar plugs in my E39 made by NGK.

Can anyone explain this to me.. the NGK IX for a 1995 supra listed on the NGK website for 2jzgte
listed this model BKR6EIX-11

I just looked at what it listed for my rav4 and it lists the exact same plug BKR6EIX-11

I was under the impression the plug should be different its a totally different engine then a 4cyl rav4..

so why do they use the same iridium spark plugs

You'll be suprise how many simlair parts are in alot of cars. So yes it can be the same plug for a gs300 and a rav 4(toyota and lexus use most of the same parts)...... and i bet that plug can work for about 10 other cars non totoyta lexus cars

You running stock boost? If so i'd say you would be ok at factory gap. Please anyone correct me if i'm wrong.
