I have been chasing a set of replacement copper plugs to try with the E85 im about to be running, Apparently the iridium plugs can glow causing pre-ignition. I found the STI's are running similar plugs and they had this list on their forum.

LFR6AP-9 OEM nm35 Stagea (Platinum)

IKH22 5345 Denso equiv. (Im running these at the moment.)

STI List:

NGK IFLR6B (Iridium)--Subaru STI OEM Plug

NGK PLFR6-11 (Platinum)

NGK LFR6AIX-11 (Iridium IX)

NGK LFR7AIX-11 (Iridium IX)--"one step colder"

NGK LFR6A-11 (Copper)

Denso IKH20 (Iridium)

Denso IKH22 (Iridium)--"one step colder"

I still havent worked out what heat range I should be going for, colder if there is pre-ignition, hotter if I have cold start problems from what I have read. Any plug experts around?

thats basically it. something else to think about, if your using too cold of a plug they will foul up quickly. the plugs have a kind of "self clean", to help with soot build up on the electrode. this process wont work as good if a plug that is too cold for your application is used.

i have no idea about what is required for E85, have you looked in the FI section, i've seen a few topics come up about E85?

i've only really used NGK plugs, and can help you out with their part numbers. i have a chart i use that i found on the breakdown of the part numbers you may be interested in. its a few post down in this thread LINK

Hi, I know this is an old thread but I wanted put these plugs out there to see if anyone has tried them.

Brisk ER14YS

They use a silver electrode and are rated for 45k kms, and the 14 is the same as a 7 heat range for the NGK plugs or 22 for the Denso's. And they seem to be popular with the EVO IX crowd.

Thanks,

Grant.

I had a lot of issues running the Denso's, to the extent they completely melted in 10,000k's (although I am pushing things hard.) The stainless threads also seize up in the thread easily without some antisieze on them. They are rated to 160,000 but obviously aren't that good for turbo applications.

I am sure anything will run fine as the stock coils throw a fair spark, but I stick to the NGK's these days, LFR7AIX, due to them lasting so much longer. For $15 a plug it just isn't worth changing them any more often than you have to.

The Evo crowd isn't the smartest... I know this well, as I have a 7. :P

Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
