IRIDIUM Spark plugs for a 2.2L camry

[Toyota18]

Hi.
Does any one know the part no's for iridium spark plugs for a 2001 year model 2.2L toyota camry? (NGK and Denso) Do you think iridium will do a better job over the twin groung electrode platinum spark plugs?
Any one have experience with these plugs?
Thanks a lot.

Checked out the ngk site, looks like BKR6EKPB-11.
NGK Australia

Iridium is a hard metal that has better conductivity than Platinum.

So far, all of the Iridium plugs from what I hear work very well and do not burn up in NOS applications. There are many hardcore racers that prefer copper but I'm not a fan of changing spark plugs every 10k miles.

I installed the Denso Iridiums and NGK wire set into my 98 Camry 4cyl. I haven't noticed anything different, not that I was expecting anything different. Car runs just as smooth as before.

BTW, the Denso website mentioned that these plugs should be replaced every 30K. There are different types of Iridium plugs, performance, longevity, ect.

don't waste your money.

just get whatever the OEM reccomends.

bosch multi electrode plugs are hogwash.

single tips will work better in almost any case.

i believe the OEM recommedation IS iridium......

and speaking of hogwash, most blanket statements usually are. You see, I got 101k on my last set of bosch +4 in my 97 Camry v6. There's a pic of one of them around here somewhere. They don't work for everyone, but they do work for some of us. And quite well, too.

Iridiums are the stock plugs in my Suzuki Aerio. The manual suggests 100k km change interval. I pulled mine out at 40k km, they looked just fine, no erosion.

sorry ken, i just love blanket statements.

also, i totally didn't see where toyota18 said he had a 2001 camry. I confused pmwalter's post about his 98 camry with toyota18's.

whoops!

i'm just curious to see if you would have gotten the same results with regular single platinum bosch plugs in your camry instead of the +4's. was there a particular problem with the orig. plugs drove you to upgrade?

if you've already answered this question before, ignore me.

I changed from platinum to iridium in a 2001 2.4 Hyundai with about 50k miles. I couldn't tell a bit of difference in how the vehicle ran and there was no difference in gas mileage.
