550 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I recommend ordering from FCP. It may take longer to get there, but you get Bosch, and you don't get raped by NAPA at 70+ dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snabb T5M Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Yea, FCP or IPD for the Bosch. I went to Auto Zone and picked up a cap/rotor, some "other" brand just for now. I need to get some new Bosch plugs and want to go to drag strip one more time before it closes and hope for "the run" I've been wanting this year. I recommend ordering from FCP.

Bosch cap/rotor and OEM plugs I would recommend FCP for everything else as IPD rapes you in prices all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Mac Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Fcp has the best prices I've ever seen for our ignition components. Use them every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 According to the Haynes manual, the B5234 T motor uses a gap of 0.7mm which converts to 0.028". That doesn't specifically say non-turbo models run a .028. Besides, naturally aspirated usually run a larger gap, right? Because they don't have the extra forced air going in the cylinders from the turbo. (Granted an NA will have higher compression, theoretically any forced induction car is running a higher dynamic compression in that case) Atleast that's how I have always looked at it. Haynes manual are never reliable for specifications 550: You can look at it however you want The VOLVO manual says Turbo-charged models : .030" (.75mm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojojo Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Looks good. I would have run the feeds through existing conduits, though. Performance is definitely better @ higher boost levels, and wider gap as Ben suggested. Be sure to check your cap & rotor regularly now - the MSD6 is less forgiving of wear. I cleaned mine with a dremel wire wheel every few months to extend the life, but you will find that they don't last very long (if daily driving). +1 Having made custom harness' for many custom motorcycles, and doing all sorts of electrical repairs, I would never allow a single bare wire. Either run it through an existing conduit, or use your own new conduit... especially a power wire. Also makes things less noticeable. You're either looking past a small black conduit, or wondering where that bare red wire is running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
