Just cleaned out my stagea that i picked up last month, now i have read all the info about which are the best sparks to put in the stagea and i will be buying a new set next week... but i came across the sparks that are currently in the car (the previous owner fit these ones the week i picked it up)... ngk bkr5eya...

i just did a search on here and on google but not really finding out much on compatibility for the car, so far i found it suits a 98 cressida that bout it... knowing what the basically stock stagea with an exhaust system should be running spark plug wise just wondering if anyone has ever come across their car running these? apparently you can gap them to .8 and they are anti fouling. but i thought being the 5 instead of 6/7 is and issue straight up?

just curious to see if people have run these, the guy had a r33 series 1 also so i would assume he would have been running the same in that.

No I already told you in one of your many threads that PFR5G is the listed spark plug for the RB25DET.

You only need to start going colder when power is significantly in excess of stock. The plugs you have should be fine.

I hate those BKR plugs. Bastard new set I had in the R33 cost a bunch of time on the dyno. Swapped them out for BCPR7's and instant power. I am not sure if that is due to the length affecting the contact on the coil, the V groove or just a single dud plug but I still hate them.

For Laurence when the time comes change them for BCPR6ES. At stock power they shouldn't be an issue.

thanks guys, i was just asking as i wanted to see if anyone has used them thats all....

kiwisr4t, i know which ones i should be running, i only posted this to see if anyone else had ever had these ones running, that is all... i am buying the ones you suggested to me earlier but was just curious about these ones the car currently has.

thanks Wolverine, that is what i was suggested to buy and will do

people if my posts inquiring about bits n pieces regarding the stagea is annoying or over the top i'll just stop posting... i only ask as i am new to the car and i am still learning about it all... i am not posting to pester people or anything like that that is not my agenda... posting on here to people who know what they are talking about is the best way to learn, thats why i ask.... again sorry if i have post stuff that may have been repeated or unnecessary.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
