67575, Spark Plug Gap? after rebuild questions?
Posted by freddy_00_69, Mar-24-04 07:49 PM
I have the rebuild kit and super 16g turbo setup, and will have it installed within 2-3 weeks. I have a screamin deamon coil pack and magnecor wires and ngk spark plugs, bkre6, what gap should they be, i am starting off fresh and new so i will be buying everyhting new. I have 30lb injecors, inline fuel pump, intank pump, v-sfmu, should i upgrade my injectors to run 15-16psi with race gas? Just a few questions i want to know so i can have this car running the way i want it for the first time. I also will be getting a new super 16g turbo soon before the rebuild is done.

I use my fingernail to gap my plugs... :afro

Just kidding... the ammount of gap you need to run can vary depending on your ignition setup, motor setu and the plugs you use...
I get best results with a gap around 0.030.

Something like that...

I use BKR5E-11 plugs BTW... :beer

arent the 5e-11's one range hotter than stock if so why would he want to run that with boost, i thought turbo apps should run the ngk bkr7e-11 and gap to .030??

Yeah... most people run the BKR7... but I don't ;)
It works... that's all I'm gonna tell you. Runs better than with BKR6 also... I may try the MKR7 next time... but if the BKR5 runs perfect for me at 19psi... then why change...:cheers

hey mrslick, what type of fuel system are you running for 19spi, i just want to run 15-16psi, so is my fuel setup all right for that since i will be rebuilt on 8.6:1 je pistons.
