Spark Plugs for Turbo

[duMb KeoLa]

BUMP!!! so what is the gap that it needs to be, and whats the best, 2 steps colder, one step colder, or the extended one that fm sells, let me know so that i can buy some from you TerrY or you fm! thanks

I have the plugs that Terry sent me, and they're gapped to .035

 

[falkofire]

can somone explain gapping to me...as in how to..and how it is measured?

 

[Kooldino]

Go to any parts store and get a spark plug gapper...it's the distance between two parts on the spark plug, and that distance dictates the behavior of the spark. I'm not an expert on it, but that's the basic idea.

And aparently no one actauly knows what they should be for a colder turbo plug.
(rofl)

 

[spoolinmp3]

We run our plugs 2 ranges colder and gap it between .29 to .35

 

[PaulMP3]

Anybody recomend any certain plugs for a turbo application? Whats the difference between the spools and other brands?

 

[spoolinmp3]

We just use NGK's, I am unsure what everybody else utilizes. We gap them to a certain spec. We have plenty in stock

 

[GOTZOOM?]

Are they included with the stage 2 kit, or do I need to add this to my tab as well.(uhm)

HEY! I just had an idea, whoever makes these little smilie guys needs to make one where he is shelling out cash. I'd use that one constantly.

We use NGKs also 2 steps colder. They are included in the kit.

 

[spoolinmp3]

Our plugs are included in every kit

 

[duMb KeoLa]

whats the numbers you guys use???? howmuch are they?

 

[spoolinmp3]

THey are 16 for the set

 

[PaulMP3]

i got them today, also got a sweet spool license plate frame! thanks terry.

Your welecome

okay...i got the two step colder ones and it was gapped to .32...car ran like s***...misfiring all the time, not getting a good idle, i dont know if it was the plugs or the gapping or something else seriously wrong but compression test showed fine...180 across the whole board...

anyone know what could be wrong? im going with 1 step colder plugs and gapped to .35-.40, i will let you know how it goes

I have the 1 step colder NGK's and I think they are at like 28-30. I used the gap recommendations for the MSP, you might try that.

 

[midnightracr]

Dumb Keola: It's running like s*** because the gap is too far apart. Close the gap down to maybe 29 and see how they do

 

[duMb KeoLa]

okay, now i got the 1 step colder pre-gapped to the stock spec...which i think is like what....38? it still runs like crap, now im thinking it might be something wrong with the injectors, the coil packs, or something seriously wrong electronically with the car...

could the injectors be stuck wide open? they are stock and the most i have bo0sted was probably a 8 psi spike...would that do it?

 

[duMb KeoLa]

how does the spark work...is there more spark if the gap is bigger, or more if it is smaller???
