14psi....what plugs do you recommend?
As title states? Any help would be appreciated!
|
BKR6E for 1.8s, BKR7E for 1.6s. (one step colder than stock)
|
ok great, I had some 11's sitting around here and was thinking that was to hot....appreciate the quick reply!
|
NGK spark plugs symbol code
here you go. google is your friend. 11 would be super cold not hot. if you had BKR7E-11 the 11 has nothing to do with heat range. It is the factory preset gap. 11 means 1.1 mm. |
I would go to miata.net and type "spark plugs turbo" into the search box and sift through a jillion threads before posting here. then I'd get whatever I was gonna get before based on my own research.
|
Ok, appreciate it again guys!
|
My brother and I use NGK v-power R5671A-8. He has a BP turbo in an mx3 running 18 psi, and I have an FE3 turbo running 15 psi in an mx6. Works for us, results may vary for your setup.
|
Yea the -11 has a stock gap, and for turbo you want the one withouth -11 so BKR6E with smaller gap not BKR6E-11.
|
^ ok great, what gap would you recommend with the 6E's? My setup is greddy kit, starion IC, 550cc injectors, 190HP pump, megasquirtPNP on 14psi
|
No need to regap. The non-11s have the right gap. Google for it to find out how much that is exactly.
|
ok thankyou! appreciate it again!

I've never even heard of the pulse plugs until now. Saw this though:

A: Most basic, bolt-on modifications available for vehicles today work perfectly alongside Pulstar™ plugs. Examples include cold air or short ram intakes, exhaust systems, and ignition system upgrades such as MSD. More advanced engine upgrades, such as a turbo or supercharger and nitrous oxide injection, are also capable of using Pulstar™ plugs if the plug meets the heat range requirements specified by the upgrade. Q: What is the heat range of a Pulstar™ pulse plug? A: Pulstar™ pulse plugs cover the following heat ranges: NGK: 5-7 Denso: 22-16 Champion: 7-12 Bosch: 5-8 |

So what is the "right gap"? As if that is a concrete value. |
@paul: it's just that the -11 version with OEM gap can prove problematic sometimes in boosted applications. The non-11 has a smaller gap which seems to work in most cases. If you need an even smaller gap you need to fix your ignition, like go COPs.
|
Paul has COPs.
|
and he runs a .040 gap and has no issues whatsoever. some say he is a god.
|
Yep, same gap here, no issues at all.
|
a larger gap exposes more spark to your mixture. you want as much as possible to burn as much mixture as possible. the upper limit is just below misfire.
