Default Colder Spark Plugs
I have a 91 crx si and i need to know which colder spark plugs should i get? I called around to pep boys and autozone and they dont carry colder ones just the OE's I would think that NGK's would be good. The OE part # is BCPR6e-11. I know the "6" is the temp right? So i need a 7?? And if so, where can i get them cuz at local autozone's and ---- dont carry em?? T3 turbo, stock D16a6 with decent fuel mang, intercooled and in desert climate....if that matters

I thought the number went lower for colder. Autopart stores suck for things like that. They look at you stupid because they don't normaly deal with that sort of thing. If you're not looking for an OEM replacement or a 6ft. aluminum wing they don't know what to tell you.

Well, if your OEM part number is BCPR6e-11 you should look for a BCPR4e-11.

Are you sure? Don't the numbers go the other way to go colder? I've always heard you should go from 6 to 7.
