Spark plugs for 12a turbo
Hey guys,
Im trying to find a good plug to run in my turboed 12a. I know i could use the 2nd gen trailing plugs put you cant adjust the gap on those. I currently am running b9es ngk's but the problem is to tighten these plugs you use a standard spark plug socket(13/16, i think). But this is different from the stock br8eq-14's which have a smaller 5/8's head. Basically the eyebrow over the sparkplug hole interferes with the 13/16 socket and there is no way to torque the plugs in there.
Is there a good plug in a 9 or 10 heat range with the 5/8's head you 12a turbo guys are using.
Thanks

I'm hella new to technical car basics. What do you use to gap your plugs such that 14 thousands accuracy is achieved? I bought some plugs (only ones Kragen's has for the 13b) and was told by their PC I needed to gap them at .055. So, I got this tool, the disc measuring thing, and went to measure the gap. It was a bit tighter than .055 so I bent the metal part back a bit with the measuring tool (LOL) and the porcelain (of whatever) part chipped a bit. Gay, lol but I didn't know how to really get in there proper and adjust it.
