I am having my rotor and wires done tomorrow and Paul suggested I put in these plugs that are like $12.00 a piece in, I do not remember the name but he said he likes to put them in higher boosting cars, I was thinking the coppers would be fine, any thoughts on higher end plugs

Save your money for higherend fuel.

Nah behave, Bosch coppers are fab!

[yangotang]

Bosch FR7DC are fine for my car.

They were most likely Denso Iridium plugs.

I had these in my car and it ran very smooth.

Coppers are good, but they require more voltage to fire and that's why it's not as smooth.

I switched back to copper because of spark blow-out, and I'm not so sure I want to stay with them since the idle isn't as smooth.

I just called him and that is what they are irudums.

Why did you have plow outs?

I have noticed this also. I had iridiums in there when I got the car and switched to coppers last month. First thing I noticed was the idle was a bit rough. I may also switch back.

Get the iridiums. They will last 6.5 million miles or your money back. And even through copper is a better conductor, iridiums cool to -272 when fuel hits them turning them into super conductors. And I hear you can eat them and they taste like chocolate. I hear IRL was gonna run these but saddly they were ban.

That's what I wanted to know, thanks Chuck.

Yes, they will clean your injectors as well as your fuel pump with their patented auraizination process. Do a search and I am sure you can read more about it.

When I switched to my 16T the air flow was more and that caused the spark to blow-out before igniting the fuel. I decided to put in coppers gapped to .025 like everyone else.

I need to switch back ASAP!

Can the NGK be gapped to .025?

[josh_S70GLT]

I dunno, but nobody is gonna stop me are they?

What???

The turbocharger is not blowing into the cylinder when the spark plug is firing...unless you have your timing belt a couple of notches out of position on the intake cam sprocket.

What pressure is your turbo putting out?...1 bar?...15 psi. Or less.

What is your compression pressure...somewhere over 150 psi. You can not get compression pressure if your intake valve is open.

What???

Don't tell them that, they actually thought they were blowing out their spark.

Obviously I was mistaken, what is spark blow-out then? and why does a smaller plug gap fix it?
