Best spark plugs for this 2g setup?

[RadDsm]

Great none of the stores around my hood carries this particular BPR7 or 6ES series.

They only carry BPR6EKN......

Those should be fine, IIRC that's what the FSM calls for. If you have them, use em.

Check out this thread as well.

Thanks A lot RAD. I feel confident now in purchasing these plugs.

Funny though that nobody carries those other plugs being more of a common plug than the "EKN" type, esp in the SFO area ....

Just that they cost more, but it's your $$, not mine ..

IMO As long as you are running BPR6ES, or 7ES you should be okay. 6ES for close to stock motors, 7ES should be fine for Boost levels above 16 PSI or Horsepower above 300 - 500. Above 500 your gonna want to maybe go to 8ES or look into more powerful ignition.

^is what I pulled from my car awhile ago, replaced them with with a step colder from advance auto parts. I took them out today to check the gap, & this might be why I'm having issues with steady wot acceleration above 4.5k rpm. I'm slightly relieved & really hope that I just need the correct set of projected 6ES plugs as I have tried almost everything else.

What store sells the NGK bpr6es? I have checked advance, autozone and oreilly's already? I know i can get them online but i rather go buy them since i want to change them today.

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

I bought mine from advance. They should at least be able to order them

 

[RadDsm]

Not sure if you tried this, but a set of BR6ES will be fine as well, they are just non projected plugs. Maybe they have those in stock.

Nice grave digging , but to answer your question.

Autozone, advance, etc all carry these plug, but they are not listed under our cars. You have to make them look up the part number i.e. bpr6es and they will find them. Everytime I've got them they had to order them but it just takes one day. I ran 7es in mine on 21psi on a 16g, but now I run 9es on the same boost level because of nitrous.

Lol i know, I just didn't want to start a new thread about it. I asked and they don't list under our cars for some reason. As long as its bpr6es it will fit our cars no matter what right? they had NGK BPR6EIX, idk if they will be as good as people say bpr6es are?

Yea just tell them to look up bpr6es by part number instead of by car. They can find them if the person at the counter doesn't know how tell them to get their manager or someone else because I know for a fact they can because they have to do it for me all the time .

Ok, that works man. I just didn't want to risk the plugs being different lenght .

Since this thread has already been brought back from the dead, how important is it to have the spark plugs tightened to 20(ft./lb or whatever unit torque wrenches use).

I need to replace my plugs, but don't have a torque wrench to make sure they're tightened perfectly.

Note: I say 20 ft./lb because it's the only number I found on the computer (NGK's website, I think). I will double check my Hayne's manual to be double sure of the number, though.

I have NEVER seen ANYONE use a torque wrench on plugs . Just tighten them down snug and you will be fine, just make sure not to strip the plug holes in the head.

It's 18ft lbs.

I torque mine, I don't #### around with aluminum heads.
