Just buy NGK copper plugs from your local auto store/s. Depending on boost levels you may want to run 6 or 7 for your heat range. Usually the plugs come 1.1mm gap, simply gap them down to 0.8mm and put them in.

May as well check your coil packs and ignition leads at the same time to prevent issues during tuning or down the track.

I can tell you right now that you should definitely be pulling more power closer to 300kw if you are using factory injectors/pump (at their limits). Running the 9's at low boost you'll get increased lag, assuming you are chasing response you might want to consider your fuel system options to prevent that. Obviously factory clutch might become an issue possibly unless you put a better one in with the motor out and other issues arise.

Final question, what made you rebuild your rb26 with standard components and not aim for stronger internals or head work?

Cheers for the reply. I was in a bit of a rush with the initial post as the donk is not completely standard. to be honest 300 is the aim I was just being conservative.

it has Forged pistons, upgraded rods, oil restrictor, sump baffle, tomei metal gaskets. its not over the top but should do 300awkw pretty easliy. My goal with the -9's is to run about 20/21 psi as the haltech will do that by default

The clutch has also been sorted. its new and not stock.

Sounds good and perfect for 300kw, nice figure and I am aiming for around 330kw at 20/21psi with my setup once complete. I am also using hks gt-ss's which are -9 equivalent.

But yeah make sure the fuel system and ignition is sorted correctly and you should get good results with the setup you have.

Stock camshafts will still be good but if you put in adjustable cam gears you might of done some camshafts at the same time to give you that increase.

With regards to plugs, there are two types you might need to try to find what works best for you. Consult your engine builder/tuner to see what he might suggest but it is a matter of trial and error really. But if you have new ignition components then you probably won't see any issues.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
