Plug Gap

[zac83]

What do you gap at? i run 17 PSI or so and gap 40 on a stock ignition system...

 

[LandoAWD]

40!?!?!? Recommended is .27 for Turbos...

 

[dnsyang]

I gap mine at .26-.28 and use NGK-BPR7ES plugs.....

 

[oosoosloo]

mine is at .28 gap using ngk bpr7es

You should narrow your poll range to between .025-.035, including every .001 in that range. That would give you a better idea of where the prefered plug gap is, since most DSM'ers have settled around .028".

 

[zac83]

ehh? even the boys with upgraded ignition gap in that range? How about the fellas with high-rev motors? no wider gapping? I'm really amazed...

I'm at .028 on the stock ignition.

28

Most of the faster cars actually gap down farther.

 

[GatorManTSI]

.26 for me!

 

[SPEEDY]

NGK BPR7ES plugs gapped at 0.28 for now, I may try 0.26 and see how that does.

 

[DSMJim]

0.28 but im going to make it bigger when my DIS2 goes in

 

[44pirate]

I run a DIS2 so I have 7es's gapped at .032

 

[Awdboost]

.28

 

[Bohrn]

I was gonna say, there is no option for me, so I chose .25, but like alot of people here say, 0.28 on 6ES

 

[Todd95TSi]

Didn't realize the recommended gap was .026-.028. The list was .035 according to auto parts store, no wonder they foul so quickly! I'm gonna change them again so I will close the new ones to .028

 

[Phoenix_RsX]

If it's turbo, it should be at .28.

 

[RipperXX]

huh funny i think the book says something like .34 although i set mine lower (kinda to low) like .24 i gota re gap then sometime.

 

[miragetbo1997cc]

.028 and I change them all the time (3000)I lost 20 hp(dyno proven @ 15psi) because the gap was 35 deg on old plugs.It was causing knock after the air/ fuel was set

 

[halvorja]

I'm hoping that everybody who posted 0.28 (or similar) without a zero between the decimal point and the number 2 (i.e. 0.028), simply forgot; otherwise, you boys better fix that 1/4" gap you have.

If you meant to put 0.28, please list the modifications done to your car to accept such a large plug gap.
