7's are really to cold for a street driven car, id be suprised if they came out "clean"

Generally there is no formula for heat ranges, rather you have to read the plug and make an educated decission about whats going to work.

For a mild street driven car 6's are the way to go. I usually run 6's if I drive it around and change to 7's when I know its going to get flogged.

NGK coppers, the BCP6ES as people have mentioned.

Alternatively a swap of plugs, from the daily driven 6's to 7's for a track day is a better solution again.

Platinums and irridiums are a big waste of money. Don't bother with them.

NGK coppers wont last more than 5000 kms, platniums are ment to last around 30,000+kms depends on what mods

But coppers make a better spark. Platniums / iridiums etc. are ok for stock or na cars but i'd stick to coppers for anything forced induction or making decent power.

platinum plugs for stock passenger cars and nerdy drivers.

For many years I've used copper plugs for the basic reason that plugs are a tuning consumable and a tuning indicator. When you start into performance tuning even at very mild levels irridium and platinum plugs become a waste of money. Not only that but being coated in a substance that promotes a very clean surface means they are pretty useless at acting as a tuning indicator.

hey how long do your copper plugs last before you need to replace them.

or you notice loss in power.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
