What is the best spark plugs for the 1.6 8 valve E16SE engine?
Is possible to change the chip of the unit is because my unit is a siemens not a bosch is the original one.
If yes, what?s the best one and what is going to change in the performance?

spark plugs are spark plugs tbh, i have had mine on the rollers and we tried various makes for something to do, i used to run bosch super 4 plugs, but generally now i use normal ngk's as there was nothing to be gained at all and they are alot cheaper

I use NGKs.

I remember seeing a magazine feature testing spark plugs and "performnace" plugs did no better than "normal" ones.

so called performance plugs only matter in super tuned engines so just buy any old crap lol

i wouldn't quite go for "any old crap" but something like NGKs or a known brand will be good.

imo NGK are the best plug to use, in any application

you can get "race" plugs too but they are mega expensive as they are iridium tipped etc blah blah

it took 3 years to have the NGK's break down enough to stop a cylinder running lol
