BDC tuning session
#126
I got my plugs through a group buy on this site....I honestly don't know where to get those racing NGK plugs. They were pricey too....a little ashamed to say what I paid lol
I only have 2 sets of those though. Going to try autolites after I burn those up. I run stock 9's when I'm just driving around though. Stock 9's will be inthe car when I take it down south....

No idea? I may be using racing beats wires and some platimum plugs. I have the innovative wideband hooked up to the E8 and there is a wideband at the dyno. I will be connecting both.
Do you not have a portable wideband for those who do not have one? Especially for street tuning?

I'll be running these plugs for the tune:
NGK R7420 (10.5 leading 11 trailing)
And 10mm Magnecore wires. Wideband is a shitty AEM unit, but has served me well thus far. I have the same questions as Ian though since I can also add a seperate bung to my downpipe for your wideband if you like.

I don't like the wires nor do I like the AEM w/b but that's your call. I've had bad experiences pretty consistently with the AEM units not reading correctly on our cars. Bosche sensor.

I'm sort of stuck for plug wires beign that I'm using the Jacob's coils/amps....they have male posts.
I'd have to either make a set of MSD wires, or use something else by NGK that has the proper length and proper ends. I don't seem to be having any trouble with them though. THe entire ignition setup was purchased from RX-Heven who ran them well past 400whp lighting pure water.
As far as the wideband goes, I do want to get a unit that uses an NTK sensor, but I've got this one now and will probably use it till the sensor burns out. That might be before you get here though
How far down the downpipe would you like the bung for your sensor Brian?

I do have a portable wideband. It's an older PLX M-200 with a new NTK L1H1 sensor. I was bringing up the question for those that are considering purchasing a unit. I strongly recommend that you guys do not use any w/b unit that has a Bosch sensor because it sucks.
I also recommend stock wires and non-platinum plugs. Sorry, Ian

I ordered it through Exotic Motoring Accessories a couple of years ago. Back when I was trying to put Jim K's old FD Twin turbos on my FC. They are horrible to deal with but they were the only Ontario dealer at the time. I think Brent Clement is a dealer for them now.
I picked up PLX's DM100 OLED gauge system as well. Really nice stuff but I think it will be a little overkill with the r500 screen, PFC commander and the gauge. April is all about the interior for me so I'll figure it out. Wish I could go with you guys to deals gap.

I used the same plugs your running Joe, they lasted the entire season.2007. I've never had a set last that long before. They seem to hold up better to flooding than the stock plugs. I was only pushing 12psi most of the season though. Don't get me wrong, I'd definitely take Brian's word for what type you should run.
Ps, just saw Lawyer's Spirit's post, yes I am a dealer for them.

I'd like it nearby the turbo where I can get easy access to it. I don't prefer it way down below the car because it makes the installation and removal of the sensor alot more tedious and time-consuming.
Not only with the sensor die early, it will also be inaccurate. You'll see what I mean when I'm there and have mine up against yours in comparison.

Brian, when you say the bosch sensor isn't good, in what way do you mean? If its an overheating things, I have the O2 heat sink extender to keep things cooler:
Not sure how this will effect things, but hopefully its for the best.
Also what would be your recommendation for wires? I plan on getting some new ones as i'm just using the stock second gen ones.

When he says the Bosch sucks it's because it's MUCH slower to react than the much more expensive NTK sensor. My FJO Bosch sensor was 78 bucks the NTK was 235, just to give you an idea. Apparently the NTK is also more resistant to leaded race fuel aswell.

I'm pretty sure that in a lot of cases latency comes from the controller (or display) more than the sensor. When I switched from the aem to the plx i used the exact same sensor and noticed a huge change. It was in the display only however, because when I looked at the logs they didn't match what I had seen displayed on the guage, the guage was always a second or two behind and the logs made sense.
