(Turbocharged of course) *hehe!*

Just curious - especially if you've had some that simply didn't seem to work well for you.

No experience with 16V turbo mini, but my 350HP integrale evo really liked NGK B8 EGV originally developed as a 2-stroke motocross spark plug. It shows great resiliance to fouling up, even when using very rich 'turbo-AFRs'. I know it's not a mini, but it's 16v, turboed and won the monte carlo multiple times so there have you *wink*

What actual fitment does the head need ?

TBH anything NGK or Denso, is hard to go wrong by as long as heat range and fitment are correct.

Fouling is usually down to crap ignition, crap running or other similar problems.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Well I saw one of these B8EGV plugs on Amazon for a whopping $2 with free shipping. I can confirm it is not compatible for the Bmw k1100 / k1200 head as it's a 13/16 hex instead of the 18mm on the stock plugs. A 19mm hex plug will just about work, but might be a little tight if your plug socket is a tad oversized.
Sprox and Jimbo had given me some other suggestions; I'll take a look at those, but make sure whatever you choose has a 18mm or 19mm hex only!

Hi Dave,
I have tried BR8EG plugs in my national aspired 1360 pretty good plug very resilient to fouling.

BR8EG won't fit

Standard plug is DCPR7E

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

You can't go wrong with NGK brand. Worth the cost.
