Plug gap for NGK B10EGV's

Hi Guy's can you suggest a plug gap to run on these please.
I am running a single turbo conversion at 12psi with no amp at the mo and trying these to cure some very mild breakup until I can afford to get the twin power and racing plugs!

How often should I be looking to change these plugs as I heard the tips can come off in your motor when they run too hot? Don't know if anyone here has had that problem and if so whether it's a danger to the engine or does it just spit them straight out?

Thank you
Lee

I haven't use a plug that didn't come pre-gapped for the FD, but I've seen others use .025" (so take it for what it's worth).

These are the motorcycle plugs. Papsmagu on here apparently has experience with these. Might PM him.

down here we gap them anyware from .25 or .28

I find that they are pretty much gapped from the factory. Be CAREFULL sometimes the tip breaks when trying to change the gap..

Thanks for that.. I'll check them and gap them accordingly if they are miles out.. I presume you meant .025"-.028"?

Cheers

yup he means .025 you should not need these plugs if you only running 12 psi? i would suggest running stock 9's on leading and trailing. they will last much longer than the B10EGV's

Cheers chaps..
I have the 10's now so I might give them a whirl at some point just to see if it helps at all.. But for now I have put in 9's all around as I was running with the standard setup. I though I already had 9's leading but not the case!.

Thanks

and all were gapped .025".
