Has anyone used these one the 9-5:

I was thinking of getting 4 of them, I heard that they are guaranteed 10HP..Is that true?

 

[Chris 9-5]

Just use the standard NGK saab specified plug, dont waste your money (or potentially damage the DI cassette)

10bhp :roll:

 

[Kermit]

If they are a guaranteed extra 10bhp just by fitting them i suspect Saab would specify them from the get go. I'd be inclined to buy 3 sets of standard plugs for the same price.

 

[SaabBlackMan]

Ok gotcha.. I was just curious..beside i already got the standard ngk specified for my car a few weeks ago. Thanks guys

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!

You must make it faster thats the whole idea, then whether parked or sitting in traffic.................adopt that smug grin, the one that says:

"I know summit you don't know !"

 

[SaabBlackMan]

haha.. no i will make it faster but not right now. I want my car to look like yours it's real cool so thats what i am working on right now. then i will get the stage upgrade.

Ok




Erm, this is the 9-5 forum and T7 is a little more...................complicated, but thanks

What the hell is APC? I've always wondered that!!! I saw it under a boost gauge on a C900 and never knew what it meant...

APC stands for Antiquated Piece of Crap.

Oi oi steady on there Kermit!

Automatc Performance Control = Knock detection linked to fuel grade. They can/could run on either the lowest grade Rusky fuel through to 'the good stuff'. Fairly hi-tec back in 1981/82.

Not to hijack the thread...

but how much potential is there for DIC damage if you run a non-NGK plug?

In my 99 9-5 sedan (94K miles) I found the previous owner had put in Bosch plugs, incorrectly gapped and left them in for 54 000 miles!!

My DIC failed in this car ~2 weeks ago. Was that a contributing factor to it?
