DENSO IRIDIUM POWER SPARK PLUGS for Audi 80 S2 2.2L ABY TURBO 5 CYL. X 5

Product Description

For drivers that care about performance.

By using a 0.4mm diameter iridium alloy center electrode and a special ground electrode, IRIDIUM POWER realizes spark performance unseen until now. It steadily gives a high level of response under a variety of driving conditions. The result? Increased acceleration and torque compared to regular plugs.

For drivers that care about mileage.

If you use your car on a daily basis, you may be concerned about fuel consumption. IRIDIUM POWER is one solution.

Built-in, Highly Reliable Resistor

All IRIDIUM POWER plugs include a highly reliable, 5,000 ohm monolithic resistor specification to reduce electromagnetic noise that may affect electronic devices. (For all plug types)

Highly Corrosion Resistant, Burnished Nickel Plating

The plug housing is plated with burnished nickel, the same as plugs used for racing. It is highly resistant to corrosion and rust even while touring in continually rainy weather and during motocross events. (Low-heat range types excluded)

360° Laser Welding

The process used to mount the iridium tip is a highly reliable “All-around Laser Welding” process that is able to withstand all kinds of driving conditions. (For all plug types)Projected Center Electrode

In order to improve ignitability, the center electrode protrudes more than with conventional type plugs. This improves both acceleration response time and performance.(Only with: IU31, IUH24, IUH27, IX22, IX24, IX27, IUF22, IUF24, IWF22, IWF24, IWF27, IW24, IW27, IW29, IW31, and IW34)0.4 mm Diameter Ultra-?ne Iridium Center Electrode

Using a new iridium alloy with a very high melting point, the tip of the electrode can be made very fine. This enables the reduction of voltage necessary to cause the spark, and greatly improves ignitability. Moreover, the special iridium alloy used was developed by DENSO

Taper-cut Ground Electrode

The tip of the ground electrode is cut to a fine taper to reduce the adverse effects of quenching, which greatly improves fuel ignitability. Also, because of the streamlined, taper-cut shape, the fuel-air mixture spreads more evenly in the gap, resulting in steady, reliable igniting of combustion.(excluding IUF27A, IUF31A, IU24A, IU27A, IU31A, IY24, IY27 & IY31)

U-Groove Ground Electrode

The U-shaped groove on the ground electrode insures that the inside surface area is large enough to generate the flame kernel. This shape enables lower voltage needed to cause the spark and results in excellent ignitability without increasing the size of the spark gap. (excluding IUF27A, IUF31A, IU24A and IU31A)

Insulator Projection

The projection of the insulator is optimally designed based on each plug's thermal value. This corresponds to requirements unique to thermal value, such as self-cleaning ability at lower thermal values, and heat resistance at higher thermal values. (For all plug types)

Normally, this can be accomplishing by widening the spark gap, however this causes spark voltage to increase, which has the opposite effect. IRIDIUM POWER uses DENSO very own U-Groove ground electrode to realize a superb ignitability while maintaining spark voltage at low levels.Improved Horse Power(1)Get more power with an optimal combustion cycle.IRIDIUM POWER has a low required voltage and a high ignitability, resulting in less misfiring and no spark, the outcome being a dramatic improvement in combustion. Engine output is thus increased. The findings of a bench test using a motorcycle engine to show the improved combustion from IRIDIUM POWER is shown on the below. Compared to normal plugs, a 0.5ps (1.4%) improvement is seen in output at 110km/h.Improved AccelerationIncreased response and acceleration performance.IRIDIUM POWER best demonstrates its performance improvement during acceleration.IRIDIUM POWER has a 0.4 mm diameter iridium center electrode and a specially shaped ground electrode. These features combine to achieve higher ignitability and require lower spark voltage than ever before. This enables high-response driving with fewer misfires than under higher required voltage spark conditions, and fewer misfires when ignitability is difficult. As a result, acceleration improves in comparison with normal plugs.Improved Horse Power(2)The 0.4mm center electrode increases output under various driving conditions.The power produced by the 0.4mm dia. iridium center electrode is IRIDIUM POWERunmatched by other plugs. The graph below compares the resulting power when IRIDIUM POWER is installed compared to other high performance plugs. Using a 0.4mm dia. fine center electrode, there is more power compared to 0.8mm and 2.5mm dia. plugs. This is what makes the difference in acceleration and in your lap time.Improved Fuel MileageEven during idling ignition is assured, with less fuel consumption and less noise.The good ignitability from the fine electrode (0.4mm) of IRIDIUM POWER draws out much more performance from the engine. Comparing a normal plug (W20FS-U) with an IRIDIUM POWER(IWF22) on a 2 cycle 50cc engine, fuel consumption improved from 41.74km/L -> 43.69km/L, an improvement of about 5%.Note: Mileage measured using a chassis dynamo; actual driving results under normal conditions may vary.The Secret behind DENSO's Iridium Patent!Plug electrodes conventionally have used nickel and platinum. These were not pure metals, but alloys containing other metals. Depending on the composition of the alloy, the matrix material's properties can be maximized. Using the same approach, iridium is alloyed with rhodium. The rhodium layer covers the iridium, improving the properties of the iridium. This iridium/rhodium technology was recognized by the Patent Offices of Japan and the UK, and in January 1999, a patent was granted in each respective country. (Patent Number - Japan: 2877035, UK: 2302367). Because DENSO had this patented technology, DENSO was able to make dia. of the iridium down to 0.4mm. The most important things for plug performance are ignitability and sparkability. To make the electrode as fine as possible is the goal of spark plug manufacturers worldwide, and DENSO has taken the lead, succeeding the commercializing the 0.4mm dia. center electrode plug.The finer the electrode, the more concentrated the electrical potential and the stronger the electrical field strength becomes, leading to a lower required voltage. This results in a steady combustion in a variety of driving conditions, and better starting and acceleration for the engine.A Pattern from Spark to Ignition.Electrodes have a quenching (cooling) affect (where the heat of the ignited flame kernel is taken away by the electrode). This cooling affect is greater with larger electrodes, sometimes causing the ignition to stop short of the stage in Figure 4. To improve ignitability, the contact area between the electrode and the flame kernel must be reduced. Improved ignitability is why IRIDIUM POWER electrodes have been made fine as possible.YOU ARE BUYING 100% GENUINE DENSO SPARK PLUGS MANY SELLERS ARE SELLING COUNTERFEIT PLUGSComparison Between Genuine DENSO and Fake Spark Plugs Comparison of DENSO and Fake Appearance  DENSOFake  TerminalTerminal has a glossy finish.

A fake DENSO spark plug does not, retaining heat that causes meltdown. Problems Caused by Fake Spark Plugs Inconsistent sparking causes incomplete combustion. Unburned fuel from a black sooty deposit on the spark plug.eventually leading to poor fuel economy and poor start up of the engine. Poor heat dissipation due to the lack of a copper-core center electrode causes pre-ignition. As a result, engine power drops under highway driving or uphill driving conditions. Continued usage of an overheated plug will damage the electrodes. Why Power Drops and Melting Occurs DENSO DENSO plug contains copper core Quick heat dissipation.Copper is an excellent heat conductor. High temperature heat is quickly dissipated away from the center-electrode to prevent melt down. Fake Fake plug is iron only Slow heat dissipation.Absence of copper-core center electrode result in poor heat dissipation capability. Prolonged use causes power loss due to excessive heat buildup. This result in melt down of the ground electrode, eventually leading to serious engine damage.
