Iridium-tipped spark plugs are used to enhance ignition performance while maintaining the same durability as platinum-tipped spark plugs.
The following have been used in order to meet the high voltage required for the turbocharged engine.
Materials of the insulator have been optimized to enhance resistance.
The material of the center electrode tip has been optimized to enhance resistance to spark and oxidative erosion.
The tip diameter of the center electrode and ground electrode have been increased to enhance resistance to spark and oxidative erosion.
A copper core for the ground electrode is provided to enhance heat conductance and suppress the temperature increase of the ground electrode.
The diameter of the insulator tip has been reduced to minimize the effect of resistance due to deposits.
