Its time to change my plugs, and currently i've got a set of NGK BCP6ES-11 in there i think gapped to 0.8 with no probs. Now went to Repco for another set and there told me to get the PFR5G-11 which there don't stock the BCP. On the NGK website the PFR5G-11 are also rocommended. Are these two plugs equivalent to each other? I know one is resistor type and one is not, which ones better?

So anyone used this plugs before and wat are ur opinions?

thanks :D

i just picked up some BCP6ES's from supercheap too.. seemed repco only stocked the iridium/platium variants, and didnt want to order the copper ones for me..

was even more fun for finding plugs for my mates wrx... repco didnt want to know about it, ended up finding some "bosch super 4" plugs from supercheap... look decent (they have 4 prongs i guess.. what ever the bit that bends over the top of the tip is anyway :rofl: ), but havent installed them yet, so no word on performance

I went into Repco on the weekend and they recommended NGK BKR6E which are gapped to 0.8mm.

I dunno if they are any good as they are not installed yet, but i hope they fix my misfire...ever since the SAUWA cruise my 'line misfires at anything over 3500rpm...even after turning down the boost :P

If you skyline is misfire over 3500rpm, do a search on the topic of misfire.

seems it is often the case that the coil packs start sparkin were they shouldnt be.

If you rip out the coil packs you should see a light powdery residue just above the rubber cups which is caused by the smallest of cracks. Just tape it up with insulation tape.

as for spark plugs, mine came with iridium NGK bcpr5IX-11

And the reason being to resist :talk2hand the resistor? lol

Oh yea found the BCP6ES-11 at $uper Cheap.

ta

It has actually been known for Supercheap to stock car parts.

They are cheap there. Don't muck about with people telling you to use other wise the NGK BCP6ES-11 for the RB25 are the go and cheap as well.

Ilija! Long time no post buddy!

P.S. The NGK BCP6ES (without the -11) come pre gapped at 0.8 :D

thanx for the replies guys. looks like i'm gonna stick to the BCP6ES and still b gapping it to 0.8

ta  :stupid:

at 0.8 you will loose power but keep the spark going....top revs will feel a bit flat

With biger gap you will burn better but sparkies won't last as long.....

So if you have a bit of money get iridium ones and go for 11

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
