Hi,

I have got a Screamin Deamon Ignition Coil Pack with Magnecor Plug Wires, Red 8.5mm.
I was planning to get a set of Denso Iridium Spark Plugs (IK20). But MTH said they dont recommed me to instal these plugs. They said its very dangerous if I use it on my MINI. It will damage my car (about getting holes in the pistons because of the higher combustion heat). They said the Denso is designed for the US market and not for the European (because difference in fual quality. I use RON98/100 fuel).

Now I want to install the Screamin Deamon Ignition Coil Pack with Magnecor Plug Wires with the stock plugs.

My question: Is this possible without any risk for my MINI?

i am using the IK22 plugs + the screaming coil and spark plug wires..... the car have been good... no major problems.....

the IK22 plugs suppose to be colder (its transfer heat faster) so it is opposite to what the guy told you.

regards
Alfred

Are you running a pulley? If you're then IK22 will be a better choice but it won't necessarily hurt your engine by running slightly hotter. This once again shows how knowledgeable MTH can be at times....aren't all plugs made the same?

In order to crack your pistons, surely it will take a lot more than a IK20 and a bad batch of fuel...or perhaps a wrong fuel map will be capable of?
