3.4liter spark plug is the recommended NGK plug to cold?

Re: 3.4liter spark plug is the recommended NGK plug to cold?

time doesn't matter....its RPM, DO NOT under any circumstance EVER spray under 3000rpm it will boost cylinder pressure way to high, and don't spray over 5000rpm as its too close to your shift points. I would not recommend running the TR6 as its not designed to be in a 3.4, thats for a 3.8. I would get a set of UR6s if you are going to insist on using NGK. or a set of autolite 26s. I always had good results with autolite in my 3.4. you should be OK on a stock tune as long as you run 93(preferably sunoco ultra93, its cleaner than Exxon, Shell or WaWa) and stay betwine 3000rpm and 500rpm before the shift.

thanks, i do have a window switch, so no prob there with the rpm's =)

and i do run mobil 93.

what you're telling me is that the UR6 is in fact a better option than the TR6 plug?

everyone always says use TR6 blah blah blah, but those are all the 3.8 guys sayin that.

is the UR6 specifically for the 3.4?

Re: 3.4liter spark plug is the recommended NGK plug to cold?

they are 2 different engine that require 2 different plugs.....for one the 3.8 plugs go in at an angle so therefore they need to be longer, the 3.4 plugs go in strait so they should be shorter....for all you know the longer plug may have damaged your pistons.

:eek: didn't tighten WHAAAAA????????? dude get the right plugs ASAP....1 your losing compression (and MPG), 2 they will wiggle loose and cause serious issues

Re: 3.4liter spark plug is the recommended NGK plug to cold?

my concern with putting N2O on that is the fact that 3.4s run lean over 2500rpm and you have 1.6 rockers without a tune to adjust for that...

Re: 3.4liter spark plug is the recommended NGK plug to cold?

both coming from guys with 3.8s, I spent over a year researching on the 3.4, and with the help of black34v6, i've worked every single aspect of that motor to a T, and i'm just about ready to drop it back in....o and just so you know, at 3000rpm the 3.4 runs at 40* advance. you can ask turboproject and black34v6.

There's a guy screen name Tiago who owns FFF. He built a turbo car using TR6's on a 3.4, go to ForceFedFabrications and read what he used. TR'6's for his spark plugs. I don't now why you are trying to mislead someone other than you drive a riced out Honda civic with a Turbonator on it. There are pleanty of 3.4 guys running nitrous and turbo's using TR6 spark plugs and there is nothing wrong with them. Tiago used a MSD 4 to adjust his timing.

I dont know all that much about the 3.4, but I cant see why the TR6 would be so bad.

Re: 3.4liter spark plug is the recommended NGK plug to cold?

the 3.8 has a thicker head. the length of the threads on the TR6 are for a 3.8 and LT1. if you use them on a 3.4 you'll have issues. the UR6 is FOR the 3.4 and it also fits genI SBCs. heres a visual so you can understand.

TR6


UR6


big ****ing difference

I am familiar with him and his build. yes he used TR6s but that doesn't mean its the right plug....I'm sure he used a spacer, or something to make up the difference...otherwise he have knocked holes in his pistons

Re: 3.4liter spark plug is the recommended NGK plug to cold?

To OP , I would email or PM Tiago to see what he did, he has them listed on his FFF page in his 94' 3.4 along with a DIS 4 he used for his turbo build.

Re: 3.4liter spark plug is the recommended NGK plug to cold?

the UR6 is identical to the TR6 it just has shorter threads...use that instead of messing with adapting takes away a variable and a possible fail point
