NGK's...

 

guys...haha, I know how to mod a car. yea, heads cam blah blah. I just meant regular things like plugs that will be more appropriate for this setup. I havent charged a car in quite some time

 

thanks fellas, so just a colder plug then, cool. No exotic's are recommended correct? i.e. platinum, or those bosch 4 electrode jobbers. What ever happened to Split Fires?

 

I've been using TR6's since my Radix was installed, and they seem to run great (4k miles so far).

Todd - PM me for info about the Joe Gibbs heat exchanger brackets.....or search under my name....this is if you want to install the heat exchanger behind the lower valence instead of infront of your trans cooler+radiator.

 

These NGK TR plugs are kind of like, 'reverse split-fires'. The electrode on the insulator end is split, while the 'protruding' one is normal. (if I recall correctly)

I think the exotic plugs are just for longevity... I'm okay with the cheap ones and swapping them every 15, 20K.

 

Yea my NGK's looked like Marc_w said, but is it true your not supposed to gap the NGK's? I heard something about not being about to gap them, and you have to run them with the gap they come with.

 

The TR6's come gapped at .035, so there's no need to gap them.

You might try some water wetter in the intercooler.

I still say that blower will really appreciate opening the exhaust up if you haven't done that already.

 

I called and spoke with an engineer at NGK who said, if anything, just check the factory gap of .035 - this is the gap you want for a blown application. You do NOT want to replicate the gap on the stock plugs of .055. He also said that if you need to change the gap, don't pry the contacts apart...what you need to do is put something under the end contact and carefully pull it up if you need to open the gap, and carefully tap the end contact down if you need to close it. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you pry the contacts apart...

 

don't you just put the circular wedge gap tool thing in and sorta wiggle it up and down a bit? is this considered prying?

 

I would say yes - this is what the engineer was trying to tell me to not do. I guess the new plugs are a little more delicate than the old ones.
