hey guys after a bit of help. my car is missing under boost when on more than 9 psi. i tihnk eithermy fuel pump needs an upgrade or my sparkplugs are fouled..... got half the day off tafe tomorrow so gonna check the sparkplugs first.... check their quality and age. just wondering where would be a good place to get spark plugs and at a good price?? ive also heard more expensive isnt always better for rb's? as they dont last aslong?? also how do sparkplugs usually last kms wise??

many thanks for your help in advance... not putting up a thread about it cos there is no point.

Also check your cooler pipes......

Irridium plugs are around the $120 mark!!

getting there sbout 45 mins on it tonight

alot of time is wasted looking @ tuts reading then trying then undo'ing when it fails re-reading redoing re-undoing you may notice i chopped up another picture and overlayed it in there and thats where the red on the rear shot has come from

Mark - also check the gap alot of plugs are sold @ 1.1mm and should be .7-.8 for high boost

at 1.1mm they may run ok but up the boost and run crap

no, 120 the set, Simon32 says just get copper there fine you just may need to replace them sooner

iridiums are meant to last longer thats why there dearer oh and there made of iridium i guess

i heard irridium dont last long? and 120 each... yowza!

thanks steve yeah ill gap them and check them out. got hks sparkplugs in the vl.. might just swap depending on condition

Reuben your Air box is that basically what the R33 one looks like ?

I believe so! I've got a HKS pod under it. Its only there to appear stock ... so is the rest of the work to the bay. Got to keep it looking stock as a bone :)

I'm also replacing my plugs and ensuring the gap is 0.8mm.

Mmmmm ... coilpacks :D

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
