jon3k 03-18-2002, 10:26 AM When determing the heat range of the plug, the number is the resistance to heat, correct? Isn't a higher number a colder plug? Does the BKR6E copper plug sound like the correct plug to you guys? Any recommendations on gap or where I can purchase them? jon3k 03-20-2002, 11:03 AM TTT - anyone? SERprise In WV 03-20-2002, 11:13 AM Jon-- The NGK BKR6 copper plugs are good plugs for nitrous. They are the only plug I've ever used. You can find them at just about any auto parts store, usually in the $2 per plug range. Do not use platinum plugs. Too pricey and (at least in my experience) nitrous does not like them. (Edit) : Gap them around .030 and work your way up from there, until you hear/feel detonation. Pull your plugs immediately after a nitrous run and look for brown specks. When you get those brown specks, close the gap up a tiny bit until they all but disappear. jon3k 03-20-2002, 04:39 PM thanks greg - i appreciate it. i've heard platinum plugs = detonation, and i've also heard nitrous will just eat the platinum off anyway. i definatly won't EVER be running platinum with nitrous.

(and i got my remote bottle opener yesterday! sweet! :D) Luis 03-29-2002, 02:28 PM I used to run BKR6E's gapped at .040 but that was with an MSD6A and Blaster2 coil. Never had a problem... Probedude 03-31-2002, 01:58 AM NGK's website used to have some information stating that Platinum is a poor heat conductor and should NOT be used in high horsepower and/or nitrous applications I can't find that text on their website anymore. jon3k 04-02-2002, 03:38 PM i think my ngk's are gapped at about .040 - .041 (the gap tool was a little "crusty" :D ). What should i gap at for nitrous? Think the oem gap on these plugs will work? Ferdie Dela Cruz 04-02-2002, 08:11 PM I've tried the Den$o Iridium...(IK20's equivelent to the NGK's BK 6's Heat range)..I didn't really feel and experience any performance gains on them..had them gapped @.040" Just stick with the NGK's, they're cheap and much easier to find. :) BTW. don't foget to retard your timing.. brian 04-03-2002, 02:17 PM I had mine gapped at .28 because anything above that I would get slight detonation, and that is with 14 degrees timing too... Jason92Classic 04-07-2002, 03:03 PM which 6E do you use? I saw that there are several versions... 200SX Si-R 04-08-2002, 02:19 PM Originally posted by Jason92Classic which 6E do you use? I saw that there are several versions... Use NGK BKR6E Copper plugs($8-$10/set) for N2O Apps, gap @ .029 +/-.002 depending on hp shot NGK PFR6B-11Platinum plugs/$40-$50a set(DON'T reccomend these with NITROUS) jon3k 04-18-2002, 01:16 PM http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/techinfo/spark_plugs/overviewp2.asp Doesn't this suggest that the higher the number, the colder the plug? Shouldn't I have bought BRK10E's (do they make them?) as opposed to BRK6E's? TurboJesus 04-20-2002, 08:24 PM What kind of plugs can I use for a turbo and NOs? Jason92Classic 07-25-2002, 07:29 PM that's a good question... also, I'm going to try mine tonight: is the 5E-11 ok? | ||
