I've been searching around and got a lot of answers to the same question

I just bought a set of NGK Power coppers. What should they gap?

So far i've seen people saying .045", .040", .039", .035", .030" and .020". Which one is it? I'm running stock ignition system so i assume the 45 is too much since thats more for COPs.

 

.035-.030"

 

Thank you sir

 

.025 was the most I could run on the stock coil. I run .050 with the Toyota cops. The seemed to blow-out in colder temps, so you may want to take .005 out if its warm out (but you're in Chi-Town so its probably cold).

 

This exactly...but my stock coil gaps were closer to 0.020...so I was in a real rush to get COPS.

I run the 0.041 gap with them as they come out of the box.

 

I gapped around .025 @ 14 psi before I got CoP.

 

so wait, its better to go less with the turbo otherwise it blows out?

 

I had my BKR7E's gapped to .030 and they worked great.
You want a smaller gap when turbo'd, yes.

 

unless you have a real ignition system where you can get away with .043" like me on my cheap *** Autolite 3922s

 

Definitely planning to go COP in the future

 

Does anyone at the moment makes COPs to order on here?

 

You have a 90. Brain made a big *** thread about doing it for the earlier years. Just follow that and I don't think youll have problems.

Us NB people don't have a step by step like that. Even though its similar its not the same AFAIK.

oh well

 

i would just like to get a premade one if anyone makes it. I did see the big thread with a step by step how to .

 

It's not better, it's a necessary compromise.

Larger gap is "better"...but it can blow out with stock ignition system at boost above about 10psi (for me). I think my coils were getting pretty damn tired at 240K miles...and COPS were like espresso for my motor.

 

What do you guys think? The lower right is number 3... 2nd to the back of the engine

it had some oil on the rim (the washer/gasket) but i dont know if its from when i did the compression test or whatever.

There was no oil on the tip or the threads of the spark plug.

 

Looks just a little lean.

 

I'm currently running .020. I tried .025 and got blow-out above 12 psi. Now I'm waiting for my Boundary/WeaponX COPS to arrive .... dreaming of big-gap goodness!!!

 

Just do it man.

I wanted to order some too...and then found all my COPS on eBay for $80 shipped and just started doing it one day...took an afternoon.

The big how to is much shorter when you clip out the parts you don't need.

 

god, how long has that been now?

 

Evan why dont you just toss in a tesla coil in there while you're at it :P
