Optimize your ignition with the HKS M40X Super Fire Racing Spark Plug, the premium choice for high-performance tuning. This X Type plug is engineered with an NGK Heat Range 8 equivalent, providing superior heat dissipation and spark stability for engines running increased boost or high-compression setups.
The M40X is designed to withstand extreme cylinder pressures where standard plugs fail, making it a favorite for modified Suzuki K6A turbo engines and specific European performance applications.
X Type Special Fitment: Features a $12\\text{mm}$ thread and $19\\text{mm}$ reach, specifically designed for specialized cylinder head geometries.
0.6mm Iridium Alloy Center Electrode: Lowers the required ignition voltage, ensuring a stronger, more consistent spark even under lean-burn or high-boost conditions.
Platinum Ground Electrode: A square platinum chip provides extreme durability, maintaining the precise spark gap longer than standard performance plugs.
Anti-Vibration Design: The shortened outer electrode reduces weight and resists high-frequency vibrations common in high-RPM racing environments.
Self-Cleaning Thermal Edge: The ceramic insulator features a "Thermal Edge" that discharges to help burn off carbon deposits, preventing misfires after long periods of idling or cold starts.

The HKS M40X is a specialty plug often used in:
Suzuki: Every & Jimny (K6A DOHC Turbo - DA62W/DA62V), Cappuccino (EA11R/EA21R)
European Models: Select BMW, Volkswagen, and Audi engines (2001–2007) that require a 12mm thread with a standard reach.
Custom Builds: Ideal for small-displacement turbo engines requiring a colder heat range for track or spirited driving.
Purchasing Note: All HKS spark plugs are sold individually in Australia. Please ensure you select the correct quantity for your engine (e.g., Qty: 3 for Suzuki K6A, Qty: 4 for VW/Audi).
