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

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.

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 :)

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
