Autolite are the only spark plugs (well about two months ago) that fit the forenza. Just go to a autostore and they'll tell you which ones fit and what gap

Actually, I would personally recommend NGK V-groove. Inexpensive, top notch japan quality, and usually the plugs of choice in most of turbocharged engines we work with.

These are the cross-referenced part number of AC Delco OEM plug.

These will work on Optra/Forenza/Reno 2.0 16V. I believe this is also the same part number for Nubi.

wel thanx alot for the info, wel I will see if the Suzuki dealer has these plugs.

Ok yesterday I woke up and decided to clean my whole stock intake, wel as I removed the resonator it had water in it.
I cleaned everything and put it back on.

As I removed the sparkplug cover I noticed that the plugs are way deep for any wrench for get them out.

What can I do or what do I need to get them out????

Thanx in advance.

Btw I read somewhere that the gap is 0.044.

They look like very good plugs.
Will they work on the 1.8L too?

yeah its .044.. i knew .44 didnt look right.

You need a socket wrench with a long extension to get it out, autostores have special sockets that are supposed to hold the plug when you take it out but the one i bought doesnt hold the plug very well
