The '11' on the end is the plug gap - 1.1mm. This is a nominal manufacturer setting - you should double check as you install each plug. If you have a few mods that might increase engine power, consider reducing the gap a bit, say 1.0 or 0.9mm .

I think the consensus is around 0.7-0.8mm gap for stock/mild setups, do a search for 'spark plugs'.

It seems that quite a few people run standard copper plugs instead of platinums, too. I had 2-year old NGK PFR6A-11 platinums on mine, which I replaced with NGK BCPR6E-11's when trying to resolve a misfire issue a while back.

I hope your coil pack cover is already off as getting to the coils & plugs is a PITA otherwise...

If you try to re-gap non-copper plugs be very careful as you can break the center electrode.

WRT gap, if you have a stock motor and your coilpacks are in good condition the leave the gap at the preset 1.1mm. If you get missfire, you'll need to bring it down. Many ppl who've cranked up the boost use 0.8.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
