  1. yeah , the whole point i adjusted the gap is because i was having misfire ... it fixed it. but yeah now il have to take them out - and get the nkg ones .... has anyone used champions though - the ones i currently have in?
  2. hey guys - i think im going to return these champion ones i got ... hopefully they will let me . im after a gap of 0.8 - so which nkg copper plugs am i after? the model number , if any one has the correct info for the specs i need? and the correct heat rating ? could anyone genuinely tell me that the slight bump i have in idle is because of these plugs? never had it before... cheers
  3. im looking at over $18 a plug for nkg , i cbf falking out that much on them ...
  4. hmmm . when i took the old plugs out the gap was like 1.5 = huge ! - i might call up repco and ask what heat rating they are ... - im quiet annoyed about this , mainly installing them - its a pain in the ass removing everything to get to them
  5. where did you purchase the $4 copper core ones ? BCPR6ES? .. when i purchased mine the gap was majorly small . left is a adjusted 0.8 . right is how they came .... for those who have many experience with spark plugs , i have another question ! after i installed and gapped to 0.8 , i noticed the car would have a slight bump every 2 -3 mins when warming up on idle .... is this the spark plugs or something else?
  6. i wish i knew - they didnt have anything written on the box .... maybe i should call up repco and ask , although - what heat rating am i looking for?
  7. recently a friend of mine recommended i use copper spark plugs - because apparently they are a better conductor . but with the fact that they have to be changed every 5,000 kms. anyway i set my self of to repco to pick these up . got home , set the gap to 0.8 , and installed them . now my friend has the sneaking suspicion that i have the wrong ones , for some unknown reason . preferably because of the model number - and hes worried that they could cause the car to run R & R in heat temperatures and cause misfire .. i havent noticed anything yet , but im worried it could .. eventually on a hot day or something or long driving - which i dont have the time to do ... the plugs are champions , model no: rc10yx4 has anyone ever had these in there car . i know they are cheapies , but yeah apparently they work better because of the copper , better than the nkg , etc. any one with any knowledge - please post , much appreciated. cheers
  8. haha $20 , id doubt hed sell it for that price ...
  9. could be spark plug gap . that can cause misfire = also check your coil packs arent cracked . you loose spark through cracks
  10. standard idle should be 650 - 700 . 1200 is way to much
  11. bump - must go - will post interstate.
  12. yeah im definitly going to fix this , this weekend. i was totally excited to install this new mbc.. and i am quite happy with it - the turbotech is the go! might even try if i can find some plastic sealer , or something , and use tape.. cause the car is runing like shit.. i dont want this problem ever..
  13. yeah i done some searching last night... there is a remedy on this apparently which i will try out this weekend... most coil packs get hair line cracks in them , which causes the spark to escape.. most people have taped them up and it fixes the problem so its been said.. i will attempt this , this weekend , and if not i will try to gap the spark plugs.
  14. i previously ran a GFB bleed valve @ 11psi. car ran fine etc... i recently installed a TURBOTECH boost controller... now i installed it and tried adjusting my boost and the car keeps dumping boost when you put your foot down around 4000 + rpm... iv adjusted it over 30 times - and i have drilled a biger hole(now 1.5mm) in the previouse hole in it like people have said - because some were manufactured with and with out this hole - which can cause pressure getting stuck between the boost controller and the actuator.. so iv done that yet i still have the same problem.. now i was talking to a friend and he sais it could be misfiring because this controller is far better than the gfb and is making stronger boost which is causing this missfiring? ?? he told me i need to gap the spark plugs , which i was told - it would fix this problem ?? he said the current setting is 0.8 and should be 0.6? .... i would of searched but i dont know what im looking for... he also mentioned something about tapping it on the concrete to get the correct size.... any help would be gladly appreciated.

  18. there is a nut to tighten after you adjust it - fasten it!! ... stupid question - but did you make sure you ran the vacume hose to the bov vacume hose - if there wasnt a nipple on your fmic piping????
  19. i just installed mine - with the flange i just made ... and the only sound im really getting from it , is flutter... and its comming from the turbo... i adjusted it both tight and loose... and still sounds the same.... not much sound to it .. i was told it would make a ptsshhhhh sound.
  20. is that from justjap? imo version??? .... i have the same 1 . iv had mine in the cupboard for like 4 months... im making a flange to bolt it too. then il bolt it into the stock holes.... the adaptor you can get just bolts to the bov - with a round pipe to get welded to your fmic pipe or so.... pain in the ass if you ask me
