What spark plugs should I use for My gtr 32

Current mods:

Running 1 bar boost

Power FC

Spitfire Coil packs

I'm currently using NGK R part No: BCPR6E-11

I'm getting an occasional miss at about the 3000-4000 it doesn't do it all the time just once in a while. It doesn't miss when I'm booting it tho.

It doesn't happen all the time.

I've checked the current spark plugs and the tip is white.

Any one have the part no for the recommended plugs I should use?

Would the spark plugs cause the occasional miss? If not then what can it be. I have notice injector 3 is abit moist (sweaty). Apart for that everything looks good.

The car was Dynoed at Amberley Autos. Drove out good then after a week or so I noticed this occasional miss thing.

Thanks in Advance

Regards Phu

I just had my car serviced, and after that it was missing at about 1 bar boost. So i took it a different place, and they checked my plugs.

The ones that were in it were the right ones, but they were not performing right. They changed the gap distance to 0.8mm. Usually this is 1 - 1.1mm.

This solved my problems...happy boost out to 1.5bar.

my mods are similar to yours. most boosted cars here go 1 heat range colder (7) and re-gap or pre-gapped to 0.8

BKR7E's pre-gapped to 0.8 was recommended to me (even at 10psi) and its never misfired since, even at 1bar which i run daily, and thats the plugs ive been using ever since. theres another post here too about the part number for the type of plug (BCPR7E's?) also gapped to 0.8... gotta try em one day.

btw they are both copper type plugs

    • 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?
