Spark plug questions

[thebadz32]

Well the night i was about to put in my motor i went in search of spark plugs to find that there hard to find by what auto zone and orileys brings up in there computers. The only ones i could get were bosch i hate bosch plugs but i had to get them to get my car running well of course i burnt the tips off in like a week so i had to put some old plugs that came out of the motor back in. i havent messed with them since. my car is an n/a shell with a gte motor in it still running the stock n/a fuel pump and everything else the only thing that isnt stock is my dp its also divorced and i fuel cut alot so im asumeing thats why but anyways a few people have been telling me they have ran the regular coper plugs in their cars and it ran fine well i dont know the truth behind this and my friend gave me some plugs last night that are nib and i wanted to see if they were safe to run and if so at what gap should i run them?

Im not so keen on Champion plugs but I do know NGK plugs work well and are what most use..NGK part #3330. They're less than $2 a piece and OReilly's should carry them.

i went to kragen and autozone, kragen would of had to order thema and same with auto zone. went to napa and they had them maybe try there if theres one near you.

Autoparts stores push Bosch big time (contracts), don't fall for it...

Get the NGK's or Denso's... Platinums are fine (they came stock), coppers are good too but need to be changed more frequently, iridiums are overpriced and can act as a glowplug under certain conditions.

You shouldn't be ripping through plugs, find your issue(s) before you do serious damage...

How well do those plugs run with high boost like 20lbs? Do you know? I like NGK Plugs But in not to knogible on pulgs as far so colder and hotter!

Get NGK or Denso's ! i bought Bosch for my supra when i was trying to get it running without knowing and my car is misfiring like a bitch! I just ordered Ngk's of driftmotion, i can't wait to put them in.

as i said there just temperary untill i start moding i want to get the old ones out

You'll be fine. They're similar to the NGK BCPR6ES. 6 being the heat range. 7 heat range is optimal but you'll be alright with the 6 since you're not making high horsepower or running high boost.

Just gap them all before you install.

 

[thebadz32]

.32 gap correct?

 

[WhtMa71]

I had mine gapped at that and it broke up right when it hit boost. So you might have to gap them down to .28.

Not to jack your thread but i order NGK BKR7E Spark Plug

whats the recommended gap for these plugs ?? this will be used on a 7mgte motor.
Stock boost and no mods except exhaust and intake

 

[Poodles]

.32 is stock gap

 

[jdub]

.32 is stock gap

For ANY plug...geez, doesn't anyone take the time to open the TSRM?

i know some disagree, but i have ngk iridiums and i like them, im lightly modded, so i didnt need something really specific so i figured theyd be good and help with efficiency, and they do a pretty good job
