I was looking around the TecnoPower website the other day, and in the "about us" section I found a very cool link to Tecnomeccanica Srl. Kind of cool to see the actual factory these are made in, as well as some of the other cool things this factory produces.

How do the TP plugs compare to the GRP ones?

I like the GRP C5/C6 plugs but they are hard to get nowadays. Are they comparable to the TP H5/H6?
The GRP plugs were always a bit cold natured but i read the TP plugs are apperantly very hot...

Anybody compared them?
I assume they have the same taper/fit?

Tony Newland 01-17-2011 01:47 PM

The "C" series of plugs are very cold and only typically used in onroad or high nitro applications. We only use the "H" series of plugs in our engines as well as the previous GRP's.

They have the same taper etc. I would recommend using either the H6 (most common) or H7 if you need a colder plug.

Our plugs are available at Amain or from us direct

GRP only used a "C" series of plugs and the C5 (medium) and C6 (cold) were recommended for the .21 tuned. Most of the GRP's came out of the box with either a C5 or C6 installed. Been running he GRP C5 with good result, but you can notice they are a bit colder then other companies medium rated plugs.

Anyway, thanks for the reply Tony, i'll be ordering some TP H6 plugs :nod:
