To be clear. I'm not giving review on TT's. I've not been installing long enough to make a call on them. It just to early for that!
What I like about TT's is:
I can spot bootlegs due 0.4mm Iridium Center Electrode. At ~1.5 X the thickness of a human hair, china mfg counterfitters have yet to copy!
Denso claims:
"Achieve higher ignitability and require lower spark voltage than ever before"
This means less voltage draw from coils. Which suggest cooler operations of coils. Heat is the enemy of coils. This has at least in part, too due with the narrower gap (1.0mm) that TT start with. Which Denso claims delivers a great flame kernel.
I've heard from one source (not what I call reliable source) the NGK are not walking-out. If the NGK IFR6A11 (toy rec for 2UZ) are not walking out. Than they would be a top choice for sure. But I've rarely seen NGKs. So I can say anything about them. I'm assuming the Denso TT's are walking-out, just like the Denso SK20R11 are.
Interesting I did once see these NGK BK6REIX-11 a .6mm center i a 01LX w/280K. NGK states: "IX Iridium Series plugs were designed specifically for the performance enthusiast".
The 01LX I found them in. The PO stated his 01LX had no pep. I found all 8 plugs only hand tight. History showed. they were only in for 10K miles. But the crush washers had never been crushed. So in this case, I felt the tech forget to torque. I' cleaned them in my plug cleaner and found gap still good at 1.1mm spec. Torque them back in. Darn if this 01LX didn't seem to have more pep, than my very well tuned 10LC The King with Denso Toyota SK20R11
