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

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
