Plugs and Gap Recommendations for Turbo setup

Hey everyone!

I swear I had this written down somewhere, but I cannot find it.

I have been running Jay25's old turbo setup since early 2005.
This was his old thread, but the link no longer works: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=321837

I have never dynoed or tuned this thing. Although, I have Jay's programming from when he tuned.
He dynoed near 350hp at 9.7PSI. Due to my boost leak, I never see that...

I am debating between the NGK coppers 1 step and 2 step colder:
bkr6e-11
bkr7e-11
any other options?


Now what about gap?
"the gap of the spark plug should be reduced about .004 for every 50HP increase. This is why a lot people gap their plugs around .036 The range for us is between .034 to .038"
I think I was at .036....

Bottom line, I am not running any gauges and want to be extra careful.

Thank you for reading!

I used both 6e and 7e plugs and didn't notice any difference. Gap them as large as you can without blowing the spark out, usually somewhere right around where you already were is good.
