96 tracker spark plugs
« on: November 28, 2007, 03:43:07 AM »
What are the best spark plugs to use for the 1996 Tracker?

Care more about performance than MPG..

I just use stock replacements.  I don't think spark plugs alone will make any noticeable difference performance wise.  And most of the "exotic" spark plugs out there, are just hype, from what I have heard.

Yes I agree use some quality stock ones the price you pay for expensive upgrades just doesnt get you enough at the pump.  regular tuneups, and drive the rig nicely and your going to get good MPG.

Try some NGK V-power plugs. But to get the most out of any plug you will need to upgrade the rest of the spark system with some thing like an ignition box from MSD or the like. But even then I do not think you will see much HP improvement from just plugs.

I have had all the problems with aftermarket ign. systems & can tell you from not only my experiance with being "dead in the water" but many of my customers having engines die miles from anywhere. Don't go MSD, Jacobs.....ect. Not worth the failure. Sure there are a few people out there with aftermarket systems still working & to them I say "Lucky" Only 1 high output ignition system has proven "trail dependable" in my book. Nology! You say you want power & mpg? The Nology system is very simple. Capacitor wrapped wires. Each one. If it were to fail ( never seen one) it is still a good working plug wire. My Toyota truck (4cyl.) & Suzuki 1600 both climb the long grades out of town 2-3 mph faster with Nology & on long trips I getting aprox 1 mpg better. Several of my customers are claiming better. I am only pointing out what I know to be fact but think you should check them out.You may also find it interesting that Nology is the number 1 selling ign. mod. sold in Japan yet made here in Calif/USA. Here is a picture of mine.   P.S.  Air intake & Headers were on my veh. prior to the Nologys & have there own gains.

if you are really legit in this endorcement, I'll apologize in advance ...

Wow, does that sound like a marketting pitch ...

Wanna win me over, show some INDEPENDENT dyno runs (and if if mr. marketeer is true, he *should* already have them). Otherwise ... go pimp your crapola on ebay.

   Nothing beats Nology wires,I know as I run them on my honda and they never die.Aftermarket ignitions in my experience have been very reliable.I have run and installed Jacobs and MSD on lots of cars and trucks with only 1 failure.You just have to get the right part for the job.Especially in off roading,which is why both companies offer vibration and shock proof models to handle the abuse.They are however not servicable as the electronics are embeded in epoxy.
 Just my opinion.

I apologize if I'm "over the top" on my responses, but I'm so friggin tired of having products hyped as "the best thing" when it's has no PROVEN benefit over stock or even generic.

The last set of plugs I got were NGK "v-power" (or some such) ... but that happened to be the cheapest.

Me thinkin' now I shoulda got the std plugs since they might be better than the "cheap" v-power thingy.

The last set of stock plugs I bought were $1.70 each, IIRC.

Hey Snowball!  A member asked what works & I knew something about it. I gave him a honest answer with as much info as I had. If you want menbers to produce dyno charts isn't that going a little far? I only told what I know from my use of them & the people I know who have them. That's why people ask questions on this forum. If "Riddick" wants dyno charts & so on, he is welcome to check those sites out. This forum is about Suzuki owners input.....just what I gave him.

Sno didn't mean anything bad, but you have to admit that did sound like an advertisement.

It also sounded like a bashing of the other aftermarket ignition box's. Sure your nice new MSD box you bought from Joe Blow might die in some hard wheeling but if YOU buy the correct box in the first place, you will have a nice reliable ignition box.

And what do your wires really do in the first place? Just add another layer of wire over the plug wires for protection of the core?

How do your "Capacitor Wrapped Wires" work in the first place? Do they have a box hooked too them? If not, how does the capacitor wires work with no power to charge them? And if they do have a box that charges the wires, what makes that box better than an MSD or equivalent box?

I am curious as everything I have learned is that the ignition supplies the power to the plugs and the plug wires carry that power to the plugs themselves. How can you bypass the ignition system with just a set of plug wires to supply that boost of power? ??? ???

Do they use magic? 

I've heard about these nology wires, but since they don't spell the name correctly, I won't buy them....   ;)
