Hey guys.. just wanting to check..

had problem with spark .. getting nw splitfire coild next week.. what plugs would u recomend?? Car is at around 220kw on 15psi. i was thinking BCPR6ES-11 and gap them to .8

Will this change how the car is running since the old plugs and coils were used when the car was dyno tuned?? Cheers for your help!

hey had troubles with plugs while ago put wasted spark on s2 rb25 and put bkr6e in went alot better but still a tiny bit holding back, put differnt turbo on it and power fc and went sweet as but when i put the boost up to 13 started doing the same thing. went and brought some bcpr6es tiny bit better but just wanted to know if gapping them to .6 would help or would this cause any troubles having a low gap? cheers and merry christmas

Thread dig but save making a new one, read all the info but still undecided between the two plugs, BKR7E or BCPR6E - I have an RB30DET, estimate around 250RWKW at 13~ psi boost, will be hopefully getting it tuned this weekend to be closer to 300RWKW at 19~ or so psi boost but will be mostly daily driven on 13psi boost still - should I go for BCPR6E as it's my daily driver? Cheers, ordering them tomorrow. It's a Series 2 RB25DET head if that makes a difference.

i know this is a really old topic, but my car (r32 w/ rb20det) has recently had really rough idling since in put my intercooler in. it pops on idle. car is boosted to 13psi (stuffed actuator, going back to 10 when new one is in). should i regap to .8? ive replaced the plugs with copper ones. pretty sure there pregapped to 1.1

another question is would it be okay to run 0.8 on stock?

I would check for a leak in the piping, leave the gap as is if your going to 10 psi.

just did mine the other day with the cheapy copper option as I was scratching my head after reading all this and thought that would be best so monies weren't a wasted if I choose wrong. BKR6E gapped at 0.8mm I assume as there wasn't any 11 on the packet.

all seems well :laugh:

no major works done in my liner just exhaust and air filter.

will try the platinums next as that's what I pulled out to see if there is any major differences besides cost or the coppers gapped at 1.1mm.

if anything exciting happens I'll let ya know.

Righto...read all 13 pages and doesn't seem to be too much info for GTR's.

Got RB26, pod filters, nismo dump pipes to HKS silent power exhaust. Standard turbo's only running 8 PSI currently but will be upping to maybe 12-14.

Even though GTR's are listed as heat 6 and gap 1.1, and all info points to reducing gap and heat as power/boost in increased. What ill effects can happen from running .8 gap and 7 heat on current application in preparation for boost increase?

Or do I go;

6 heat with .8?

7 heat with 1.1?

Thanks.

I went with BCPR6ES with 0.8, it had some kind of Platinum Racing plugs in there with a "7" heat range which I thought was interesting...(from Japan)

I have a thread with a spark plug discussion for a GTR here

wow, this is by far the most intense thread ive ever read. and there's no way im the only newbie really confused at the end of this. the problem is, i think, that firstly, newbies (like myself) don't realise how freaking important spark timing is, and changing the gap and plug type and heat range are all just tryng to get the right spark time so that the fuel mixture burns properly, all at once and producing peak explosive power when the cylinder is no longer moving up. AND, making sure that the spark causes a nice clean bang, without other parts of the fuel exploding before the sparked flame gets to it.

I'm running a stock (with exhaust) r34 gtt which has a miss at idle but revs smoothly, and is running a bit rich. bought it this way a few months ago. replacing oil and plugs this week, will post back how it goes. from this thread, is looks like the bcpr6es, or bcpr6e (v-power) or bkr6e(s) are the way o go, whatever i can get, gapped at 1.1mm (im running stock psi + tune, ie about 11psi).

i have no idea wtf is in there atm, but i hope this helps any confused stock-runners.

thanks guys, a great and informative thread

bought bkr6e-11's (coppers) to replace the bkr6ix-11's (iridiums) and installed them with no problems, other than my sockets being too fat to get some of the screws out so had to resort to 10mm ring spanner.

the car now purrs beautifully.

so yeah, that worked for me, hope someone else finds it useful (btw don't tighten them up too much, keep tightening till there's an obvious resistance)

cheers

just did a throttle body clean (was mega filthy) and a spark swap.

added some photos after 20,000kms with a spark change with a BKR6EIX iridium plug.

the old plugs dont look too bad. though they could of stayed in alot longer. but there was 20% off so i just thought might as well.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
