NGK Racing Spark Plugs - FORD - 2 STEP COLDER
***These plugs are recommended for built motor high boost applications***
The NGK R7448A-8 Racing spark plugs have a colder heat range compared to the stock spark plugs and a non-projected tip for an additional decrease in spark plug firing tip temperature. For modified 2.0L, 2.3L & 3.5L Ford EcoBoost engines. With a Non-projected tip tip design.
Comparing identical spark plug types, the difference from one heat range to the next is the ability to remove approximately 70°C to 100°C from the spark plug center electrode and ceramic tip. A projected style spark plug firing tip temperature is increased by about 15°C to 25°C.
Heat range is the measure of how fast the spark plug tip dissipates combustion heat. It must do this in a precise and controlled manner so the spark plug will:
- Stay cool enough to avoid pre-ignition and/or electrode destruction due to detonation.
- Run hot enough to burn off combustion deposits that would otherwise collect on the insulator tip and cause fouling that results in misfire.
- Adapt to specific engine characteristics and widely varying driving/load conditions.
