How does it work then - i was told to gap them to 0.7 which quite small.

Does this mean i will get a hotter, more intense spark?

What is the normal school of thought when you increase boost?

Gap to .7 or .8 mm cos most of the modern plugs gap to 1.1mm hence the 11 on the end of the plug number.

The large gap is what gives a bigger stronger spark because it makes the coil build up a larger voltage to fire the spark across the gap.

The trouble is with turbo engines running larger than stock boost will blow the spark out while it jumps the gap ( simplistic terminology ) hence the need for a smaller gap , which then gives a weaker spark and is the reason why splitfire or cdi type ignitors are reqd on BIG boost engines.

Got it ?

Did u actually read what i said?

Obviously not

He PMed me and apologoised for what he said...

Everythings sweet....

ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WASNT HIM AND IT WAS ANOTHER SKYLINE

Nah stuff it, just walk over and deck him. Hehehe

Tell us first so we can set up seats and get the beer and chips out.

Thanks Ken - I had heard about the spark being 'blown' out.

Good work macka - blamed the wrong bloke...you are a tool (7/16 combination ring spanner if I recall):bahaha:

Cylinder heat causes injector fuel to ignite before the spark flashes over

thats called pinging.

This plug talk is doing my head in...

So if I reduce the gap I should use a hotter plug to keep the actual spark the same?

Why do people go colder in most higher boost applications?

[gtrken]

And it would be a pretty hot cylinder head to cause that.

Maybe u should read more carefully,

I asked if he was the guy who hoons around my street picking up some girl he said yes

Im not going to change my driving habits because thats the way i drive and thats not going to change...

I accused no one

[Micko]

Fair enough macka - I think i recall another post after that ordering him to slow down.

Anyway - who cares...

Colder plug means it will take heat , boost and thrashing better without melting or dropping the electrode off.

A hotter plug is used in colder conditions to aid starting or is used on a worn , oil consuming engine which would foul a colder plug.

Phucked with your head enough ??

ZACHARY !!

I sure as shit don't sherlock.

Though if that spanker next door with the new loud exhaust on his rex goes belting down the street one more time....

Right - almost done...

What this is telling me is that I should have gone to an NGK 8 (or stayed with a 7).

[macka]

Kenny just tell himj to use a colder plug with a smalller gap

And then associate plugs with dick smith employees...... and what hed like to do to em....

(burn em)

just like a spark plug

aaaahhh....

another the sphincter of the universe anyone?

[Micko]

Another beer anyone?

[macka]

why didnt you come over tonight u poof?

Micko , what plug exactly did Steve recommend.

I have checked my reference and Hendo told me to use

BCPR7ES -11 and gap them to .8mm

Cheers

Ken

PS I have and they work fine.

ps where's the whore and whorette ?
