Brisk spark plug experience?

[W3bb3r04]

I know most people swear by the HT0 which is what I currently have for my turbo build. However I had a few people recommend the Brisk plugs. Some of the threads I have seen people have had bad experience with the 1 piece plugs. Would I gain anything from using the Brisk over the HT0 other than the one piece design? Id like to know some feedback from Forced Induction 3v's with these plugs or some experience with them. Any benefit from them?Thanks!

I have not used the Brisk plugs and after reading all the issues people on here have had with them I won't use them....if you do end up using them you have been warned by those that have gone before you!

Ok I have the HT0 gapped at .30 now. I used anti-seize on the threads and tip of the plug and plan on pulling them every other oil change so I dont have to deal with broken ones again! Thanks for the input Greg!

Love my HT0's! Haven't had any problems from mine. Very good idea to pull them every oil change, I'll have to do that also.

It's not specificaly the 2 piece plug design that caused the seizing/breaking issue on the old design oem motorcraft plugs, modular 2 piece plug designs are nothing new and are very common. The issue was using a copper plug with a copper sheath in the aluminum head. Over time with carbonization/oxidation the copper plug core would fuze to the copper sheath and thats what causes the breaking issues on removal. The auotlite hto's have a nickel plated shealth so there is no chance of theem fuzing and breaking. You will neve have an issue with an autolite plug.

On a side note ford did away with this plug design eventually and now the oem replacement motorcraft plugs for 05-mid 08 feature a nickel plated sheath as well.

Also I wouldnt use antiseize with those plugs, theres no need. If you do you will have to check on them alot as they have a much greater chance of backing out.

Awesome explaination Jeremy. Ive never heard it broken down that way. So you think I should still pull them once a year or so just to make sure?

Doesn't hurt, I don't, I only check to make sure they are tight a few weeks after putting a new set in (for some reason plugs tend to back out easy on these heads/thread design). I replace my plugs pretty often though just to keep the car running good. So far I have been replacing them once a year it seems, but that was with the oil fed turbos as I would also get blowby oil into the motor. Now with the oil-less turbo I imagine my plugs will last alot longer anyway. The last set I pulled out to replace looked almost new so I will let this set go longer.

Ok cool! Good deal!

Dear Lord, RUN from Brisk plugs.

I used Brisk because I have the new design and that was my only option at the time (not sure if Thays changed). First set I got were junk, got a free replacement and have had no issues on prob 15k miles

I got the brisk plugs sent with the vortech kit when I bought it, had them in for 4/500 miles and took them out. For some reason they didn't like race fuel and they gave the car all sorts of problems. I had HT0's with nitrous and they held up fine so I put em back in and they lasted over a year with a ton a race fuel put through the motor

 

[AbdullaGT500]

I never had any problems out of Brisk plugs for the 05-early 08 style heads; however, this was not the case for 2008+ newer style heads. They gave me nothing but trouble when I put my new motor in.

[retfr8flyr]

I ran a set of Brisk plugs in my early style heads and they worked fine but I went back to HT0's for replacements because of all the problems people were having.

I run Brisk Silver racing plugs gapped at .030 on 08+ heads and havent had any issues yet. It wasn't my call on the plugs, the builder sent the motor back to me with them installed already so I didn't question it at the time.

 

[Neal@]

personally, I ran the brisk silver 14s on my 06 with 76mm turbo. I had absolutely no problems idling or driving. I even ran them on the car for a week before i got my tune and turbo on with no problems.

On a business stand point, we have run them on the hemi applications and 3V's with no problems. I haven't gotten any feedback from our 5.0L guys that run them.

For big power i would definitely use the brisk over the autolite/FRPP plugs. The projected tip on those plugs can be easily melted off on high horse power cars.

I ran Brisks in my pre-2008 heads for over 50K miles without issues; 440wrhp/450rwtq.

I ran the same set in my motor the whole time. Its the only plugs I recommend for replacing two piece style plugs.

Now I have a question... The HTO is a 2 piece plug correct? What about the champion plugs that are a 1 piece? Are they any good? I only ask cause Im prepping mine now for a plug change at 93,000 miles. I was just going to do the Champions but at 20 a pop compared to the HT0s at 9.00 a pop theirs a little difference.

 

[AutoXRacer]

I believe the champions are hot!! Meaning they don't offer colder steps if you are force induced.

Champions are meant for stock engines.
