howdy guys, real quick question regarding spark plugs

i've got an rb20det that has a slight misfire problem under load and want to eliminate the problem of plugs. would like to do it tomorrow and since today is saturday the shops won't be open for me to go and buy some new ones

i'm just wondering if i can use the plugs from my neo rb25det in my rb20det?

the neo plugs are NGK BCPR7ES

the rb20 plugs are NGK BCP6ES

i'm hoping i can do a quick swapover tomorrow and test - they look the same to me, fingers crossed they are!

cheers in advance

Mate the will fit of course BUT my mate had 7's in his rb20 missfiring BADLY and i put them in my 25 and they worked like a dream. He then installed 6's and they made his car run like a dream so the 7's from ur neo could posibly make the rb20 run like shit. You may have better luck, just letting you know what happened to me. :P

The heat range is the most important specification. As Bennett has pointed out, they can have a major effect on how well the engine runs. If you have some mods that improve power production, then the 7s might work ok, otherwise, stick with the 6s.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
