cheap oil/sparkies?

[WazR32GTSt]

what are the part numbers for an RB25DET sparkies ?

BCPR6ES

[WazR32GTSt]

Ever heard the saying that a $2 part always caused the problem?

5000km is alot for a high strung engine, so you are better off spending the extra $5 for filters like ryco rather than have to spend $2000 on an engine rebuild after using cheap filters and oil

just because its more expensive doesn't mean its any better

you show me conclusive testing results saying that the filter twice the price is better and i will use it...

okie got myself the following...

Motul 10w-40 turbolight oil

Ryco Oil Filter (145A)

NGK Copper Sparkies (BCPR6ES11)

K&N Filter Recharge Kit (Cleaning kit for my panel filter as its looking a lil durrrrty )

service time

[INASNT]

dont forget fuel filter - ryco Z200

[WazR32GTSt]

if you are going to re-oil your fitler then you might also want to get some carby cleaner (i use brake cleaner) to clean your AFM.

after you oil the filter some will travel through and onto the wire in the AFM so a few days after service it wouldn't hurt to give it a spray...

Do not forget to gap your sprak plugs

the bcpr6es is the model number and 11 is the gap you should gap them to 1.1 mm but on a turbo car you might go down to .8 depingding on boost..

They used to come pre gapped to 1.1 now you have to set the gap yourself

[DJ_L3ThAL]

ok cheers

and denham ho0w often do we do the fuel filters as i did mine about 10,000ks ago;) might be best to do it anyways but for reference how often do they need replacin?

[riggaP]

I've got a set of NGK Plats gapped at 0.8mm that have travelled 5000km you can have for $40... they is as new

[paulr33]

or you could just drive the car to say ice performance and say here do 100,000 sevice

[Frunknmont]

Would a 0.8mm gap on regular copper plugs in a stock engine be alright?

i fink fuel filters are pretty long like 50,000km.. but not a bad idea to replace them, as all your fuel goes through it after all..

hey adam,

if you're running stock boost then i would stick with the 1.1mm gap for better combustion

from what i understand, 0.8mm gaps are for when the boost is turned up over stock levels

the way i see it if small gaps did nothing at all bad then all plugs would be gapped down to 0.5mm or so. the smaller the gap eventually must do something (i have heard that the larger the gap the better the fuel ignites and it combusts more efficiently or something).

moral of the story (in my opinion): run as big a gap as your engine will allow without missing

cheers,

Warren.

Yep about 40-50k but since they only cost about $14 and is not to hard to change you might aswell

the one for the R32gtst is more like $30-35 so are they different or am i getting ripped off?!?

[INASNT]

a z200 ryco is only $12

[Frunknmont]

Thanks Waz just one more thing, can having the gap too small do any damage?

dunno

have heard that you can get pinging but have not had any first-hand experience so not 100% sure

i have a theory that if you gap it too small then you will begin to lose some power but as i said jsut atheory

INASNT - wow didn't realise the fuel filter was so cheap! wil get onto that myself!

cheers,

Waz.

[riggaP]

If the gap is too small it will sound like marbles are rolling around in the engine (i.e a few cylinders wont fire). You will notice this as soon as the car is started.

If you have an exhaust the boost usually creeps up a few PSI so gapping to 0.9-0.8 could be an idea.

Ryco Fuel filters are around $20-25 from kmart for a Z200 - Z201/Z202 [bigger] I bought one about 12 months ago and will be replacing soon, I think the box said 15,000kms or 12 months [whichever comes first].

I dont know where you can get RYCO for $12 Denham?
