Hi guys,
there's a few of us out there with an AU top end on their E series. What spark plugs are we using? I've got GT40 heads, not the P's, thereofore I need plugs to suit EB,EL GT / ED SPRINT? as apposed to AU I II III plugs? Or doesn't really matter. This is what I've found online; Denso - ELGT - 1.0, AU I II III - 1.3 NGK - AU I II III - 1.4 Bosch - AU I II III - 1.0, EB,EL GT, SPRINT - 1.1 Note the varying gaps from 1.0-1.4? Cheers.

Thanks Jas,
I'm curious to see what guys with the GT40's use, I know there's not as many out there. I've been using the NGK iridiums for the last 4 or so years and thought they were great, but they are due. Cheers, Pete.

Cheers, Pete. Do you know what your GT-40's came off?,and are they the GT-40's, how many vertical ribs are on the end's 3 or 4?, if they have 3 they will be the GT-40's, but if they have 4 there the GT- 40P's,going by my 2006 FORD RACING book. Cheers, Jas.

GT40 heads were fitted to the ED XR8 Sprint... I don't believe that they listed a different plug but it would pay to check.

Hope that helps!!.

What about the EB & ELGT? Or did they have GT40P?

When checking the websites of Denso, Bosch, NGK, the gaps are as follows;
EB GT, ED SPRINT - 1.1 ELGT - 1.0 AU I II III - 1.0, 1.3, 1.4 Hard to make a decision? Cheers.

Yep thats right. I use NGK BPR6EFS in the missus AUIII with the factory GT40P's. All catalogues only list iridium plugs, buti dont believe in them, i'd rather change them every 5-10000kms. I gapped them to 1.4mm.

So what's the verdict guys?
ELXR8 with GT40, not GT40P heads. Get EBGT / ELGT / SPRINT spec plugs or Get AU I II III XR8 spec plugs? Cheers.

Leaning towards the E series spec plugs as I'm still running the E series ignition system, haven't gone to the AU series ignition system.
