Ignite peak performance with the HKS M45XL Super Fire Racing Spark Plug. Specifically engineered for modern "Long Reach" cylinder heads, the M45XL is the premier performance upgrade for high-output turbocharged engines like the Hyundai i30N, Mitsubishi Evo X, and Kia Cerato GT.
Featuring an NGK Heat Range 9 equivalent, this "colder" plug is designed to dissipate heat rapidly, protecting your engine from pre-ignition and detonation (knock) under high boost and extreme racing conditions.
Superior Heat Management (NGK #9): Ideal for tuned or remapped vehicles (Stage 1+) where increased combustion temperatures require a colder plug for safety.
0.6mm Iridium Alloy Center Electrode: Drastically lowers the required ignition voltage, providing a stronger, more consistent spark and improved throttle response.
Outer Electrode with Platinum Chip: A square platinum chip improves durability and ensures a stable spark gap even under high-load circuit driving.
Anti-Vibration Short Tip: The outer electrode is shortened and reinforced to withstand high-RPM vibrations, preventing premature electrode failure.
Self-Cleaning Thermal Edge: HKS's signature ceramic design helps discharge carbon deposits, virtually eliminating misfires during extended idling or stop-start traffic.
