I was just down at my local Supercheap to grab a six pack of plugs for my girl and apart from them not having any guide on Imports and the Bosch site on the net being useless, I am lost.

I have NGK Iridium "BCPR6EIX-11" in at the moment but I want to get the new Bosch Fusion plugs.

I think I need F1-6 but I am unsure especially sine they are $129 for the six.

It is for an RB25DET out of an R33.

Cheers guys

I run NGK BCPR6ES in RB25's gaped at 0.8 mm

NGK BCPR6ES come in 1.1 mm gap (BCPR6ES – 11) and in 0.8 mm gap (BCPR6ES – 8)

Standard boost = BCPR6ES – 11

12 psi = BCPR6ES – 8

Up to 19 psi = BCPR7ES – 8

Over 19 psi = BCPR7ES – 6

^ Hope this helps

I think the wrong plugs have rooted my coil packs.

I changed the plugs and not two weeks later I need two new coil packs.

I actually have an RB25det Neo motor and I am wondering what plugs to put in it?

I have Splitfire coil packs coming in a week and I will be running 10Psi.

Cheers,

Jarrod

yo siddr20....

use bkr6eya-11 there still $3 a plug...

or bcp6rya-11 if u can get those ones..

ther anti-fouling plugs..lol

hence the "ya"!!!

:nyaanyaa:

anyone try using denso plugs?????

which is the standard plugs in Toyota..

i've used iridiums.. bkr6eya-ix

didnt do much of difference..just cost more...

ur better off just buying standard plugs...

run the biggest gap you can get away with. if the spark breaks down (misfiring), you know you need to gap them lower. so 1.1mm is great if you have no issues. if not go down to 0.8mm. it all depends on how well your coilpacks work.

the splitfires i recieved in mail today say it is essential to replace plugs with one colder heat range if you have any type of mod besides splitfires(pods,exhaust,chips etc) and should be resistor types,so of the plugs mentioned in this thread,which would be more suitable?

Dig dig dig..

Sorry guys thought id dig instead of starting whole new thread.

I am now confused on what plug to use on my stock R33 RB25DET. It has a aftermarket exhaust (3inch i think) Pod, getting a BOV installed and thats it. Boost controller and a FMIC intercooler will be installed and running on 11 or 12psi with standard turbo.

Which one would be best for daily driving if i gap them to .08

BCPR6ES

BCPR7ES

bkr6eya-11

Or if anyone can recommend a good plug thats not $20 a plug that will be great. Cheers

you already have a blow of valve. Please don't install a different one. ○_○ ......Do you understand the difference of the plugs? The higher the number the colder the plug. I don't see a reason why you would need a cooler plug.

Edited by superben

BCPR6ES (they should be 0.8mm gapped). If the shop doesn't have it, go somewhere else. If you have a feeler gauge, you can gap them down (stores usually stock BCPR6ES-11, the 1.1mm gapped ones). Run 1.1mm gap (factory) if you have new coilpacks.

Oh and Ben yeah I knew it was a different heat rating but when I was doing some searching there was a thread that people were telling a guy to buy the 7s then I came in this thread and its all different plugs so that's why I got a little confused on what to use

Ben I have NGK BCPR6ES-11 plugs so its the 1.1mm gap as you know :) I will re gap them to .80mm.

Nizmo so are you saying that I should leave the 1.1mm gap if I'm running factory coils?

If you can run the 1.1mm gap without it missing then do it. The bigger gap the better. People only reduce the gap when they are running large boost or have old, weak coils that can't provide a strong enough spark

That's what I thought.. I will try the 1.1mm gap an see how I go. It only has 140k on the engine so coils might be fine.

Is 1.1mm and 0.8mm the only 2 gaps I can run or should I try lower the gap in 0.1mm increments like as in if 1.1mm doesn't work maybe try 1mm then 0.9 then 0.8 or is that pointless? I'm new to the whole boost scene so excuse my lack of knowledge haha appreciate everyone's help :)

    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
