what r the best spark plugs????


Recommended Posts

NGK BCPR6ES, pretty much what everyone runs, they are cheap and good

Make sure they are the 0.8mm gapped plugs, as I bought some once and found after I installed them it mis-fired, and found that the gaps where set at 1.1mm

I use the NGKs.

Personally I don't see the point in buying iridium or plugs when coppers are absolutely fine and very cheap. The obvious exception is where its a PITA to change the plugs and the longer life of the more expensive plugs is more worthwhile.

LW.

Hey, i had a mech once tell me skylines wont run propperly unless you run platnums. what a scammer! He even made me feel like a twit when i told him not to touch the coppers that were in there (they were only 500kms old)

Sorry to sound like a dope but does the "6" in the code refer to the heat range?

Can you get BCPR5ES if that is the case? A 5 heat range was suggested to cure a bad start when cold....

Dont think you can get them pre gapped they will come 1.1 hence the -11 at the end of the pn. you can get a special gapping tool but i usually just tap on the electrode and check it with feeler gauges till i get it right

Im currently using some OWS Uber Power Twin Irridium's Gapped at about .64

Running a treat... the came gapped at 1.1mm but it was missing under load... :P

I gapped my BCPR6ES-11s down to 0.8mm. No wonder it was backfiring :) They were still at 1.1mm. Backfire fixed. ALso coated my coilpacks in roof sealant. Works as good as Araldite, temp safe to 150 degrees C and is only 7 bucks.

Car is running mint (touch wood ;) )
