^ thank you!

Make sure you grab the Denso ITV-22 colder plugs when you do this mod. I got increased KR from the TIP. well worth it.

You really need one step colder plugs just for a properly efficient turbo intake ?

The more bolt-ons you have..the more you will need them. The turbo spools a lot quicker with this TIP. Its amazing and feels great. But with the quicker spool, especially at lower revs, you are more prone to KR. I noticed this when i put TIP on. 3rd and 4 th gear pulls had more KR around 4.5 and 5.7 at most. I bought the plugs and put them in, bam!...the highest KR i saw then was 0.4-1.4.

I must agree, even though i do not datalog as you do, and you are wise to do so, i went through three sets of plugs while playing with gapping. The Denso out of the box have been the best so far with my mods. What gap are you set to mr.?

I'm set right at 30-32 since i'm not boosting more than stock and still no TBE. If i had the Cobb AP and a TBE, would have set them all to 28-30

Thanks i settled in at about .028 and seems good with my bolt ons. I have not pulled the plugs too look at their condition since spring as the car is running as well as it ever has.

Now up to 25.4mpg per computer. so much for the dirty air filter theory because my mileage had dropped before the inlet. And, i did not seem to lose much power on the bottm if any. Everyone who wants increased flow and can tolerate some more turbo spool noise ( music) should have their inlet upgraded.

 

[RuZec]

can I run the TIP with out the one step colder plugs for a bit?

 

[Saskatchewan17]

What are your other mods?

 

[RuZec]

race pipe.. sri... forge bpv

 

[Saskatchewan17]

Umm... I think you'll be okay without the plugs for sure. But before you move on to a DP/FMIC or whatever, plugs should come first. I'm running SRI/Inlet and soon BPV. I'm not gonna upgrade plugs, nor do I need to, untill I increase airflow a bit more (TP, DP or other)

 

[RuZec]

ahh alright! thanks man

 

[coyfish]

Im not going to upgrade plugs until I get my AP

 

[ericrapp]

Hey, i just wanted to mention that the Forge bpv should have no effect on the plugs you run. The reason we run the colder plugs in to combat more heat in the cylinder, usually from running a higher boost or running the car very hard and some other stuff. These plugs will reduce detonation as temperatures rise. And from what i hear that is agood idea. IMHO you have nothing to worry about at this stage. Sas17 sounds spot on to me. Happy Motoring
