Our take on the NGK 97977 Iridium Ix Spark Plug

The NGK Iridium IX is a single resistor-type spark plug with a fine iridium center electrode and a platinum-tipped ground electrode. The fine tip concentrates the spark and resists wear, so it holds its gap longer than a standard nickel plug. This version is gapped at 0.027 in and sized for 1.2L turbocharged direct-injection gasoline engines. It suits drivers replacing plugs on a small turbo engine who want a long service interval; it is one plug, so a full engine set means buying several.

Best forOwners of 1.2L turbo DI gasoline enginesDrivers replacing plugs at the factory intervalTuned or high-boost small enginesBuyers who want a long-life plug over a basic nickel one
Pros
  • Iridium fine-wire center electrode resists erosion and holds its gap
  • Platinum ground-electrode tip adds durability
  • Resistor design suppresses ignition noise
  • Pre-gapped at 0.027 in for the listed engine family
  • NGK is a common original-equipment plug brand
Cons
  • Sold as a single plug, not a set
  • Iridium plugs cost more than standard nickel plugs
  • Gap is preset; forced adjustment can damage the fine tip
  • Must match the exact engine and heat range, so cross-checking is needed

Questions and answers

Is one plug enough for my engine?
No. This is a single plug. A four-cylinder engine needs four, so order the number your engine requires.
Does it fit my 1.2L turbo engine?
It is listed for 1.2L/1199 turbocharged direct-injection gasoline engines. Check your engine code and the plug's heat range against the manufacturer's spec before ordering.
Do I need to set the gap?
It comes pre-gapped at 0.027 in for the listed engines. Leave it as is unless your manual specifies otherwise; bending the fine iridium tip can damage it.
How is it different from a standard NGK plug?
The Iridium IX uses a fine iridium center electrode and a platinum ground tip instead of nickel. That resists wear better and holds the gap longer, at a higher cost.
Can I mix it with other plugs?
No. Use the same plug in every cylinder so the engine fires evenly. Replace the whole set at once.
Does the resistor matter?
Yes. The resistor suppresses ignition noise that can interfere with the radio and engine electronics. Fit the resistor type your engine calls for.
