Single Turbo so don't use BUR9EQ?
 

Ok so I just completed my single swap and am headed to the local parts shop for some new plugs. I was told I need colder then BUR9EQ plugs but I wasn't sure what I should go to though. Could anyone with a similier setup let me know what type of plugs your running? Thanks guys.

Setup:
GT35/40R
1300/550 INjectors
Walbro 255lph pump
FMIC
3" HKS Exhaust

BR10eix, you have to have a special socket for get them in and out though. Kgparts sells the sockets, lots of single turbo guys run these plugs.

I've heard the iex's are not good. lots of people are going br10egv.

Do you have to have a special socket for br10egv?

I just run 9's all around and haven't had any problems...

not sure about the socket but I think you do. Don't worry about it though, some places will sell those sockets for 60 bucks but you can find them for 20. or you could just grind down one of your own if you have a bench grinder.

oh man if Charlie is doing so am I! <3 <3 hehe thanks guys

I know I will not use a 9 in my car. Of course I'm shooting for 500+rwhp. I'll prolly end up going br11egv.

True, since ill be only hoping for 400whp :). 9's all around should be fine

yeah I believe it all has to do with your hp goal really.

I have 9s all around 440hp

Yea I am going for 400-420 so I will try these 9's all around

i had break up with 9's all around. i guess everyone is different. i also use a different plug. this plug was listed on the forum years ago and has worked great for me its a 10* and they also come in 11* ngk v power r5671a-10. worked great on my 427whp setup no break up at all. also they cost 1.80 a plug and you can use the 5/8 socket which is nice. since they are so cheap i change them every 2k miles.

I did 9's all around, had the gapped plugs and the special socket. Did 500hp on these no problem.

I suppose if charlie became a flaming homosexual, you would too correct?

Ohh wait.. too late!!!:gayboy:


Haha, just playin... well, not about charlie. :rlaugh:

For 400 rwhp, I run the stocker 9's in the LEADING positions, and BR10EIX in the trailing positions and I get a nice color on them and no break up.

The BR10EIX do require a thin wall socket which typically runs 50+ dollars and can be hard to find at the local store. I just took a standard cheap-o 3 dollar Craftsman socket and carefully used my bench grinder to grind down part of the tip (till it fits). Don't grind down more than you have to, and don't try to overtighten the plugs and it should work ok.

There aren't any BR#EGV plugs. They are non resistor and are B#EGVs.

The iridiums are resistor thus you have BR#EIX.

yeah thats where I get my plugs from and thanks, I knew I was saying it wrong.

Chris, if you're going to keep posting, how about you update this debacle of a thread?

Use "EQP" and not "EQ". The EQ doesent last for long...

the "eqp" lasts just as long as the "eq". . . dont waste your money.

:fawk:

Fu**ing lowlife P.O.S.

I think you should run stock plugs in a not so stock location - your scam artist ass!!

lol, the drama that is the rx7club.......better than a soap operah :)


So who has the b11egv plugs? When does 11's become nessasary?

Good info, I'd like to try these ngk v power r5671a-10 plugs. Anyone else use these NGK r5671a-10 plugs on there FD?

I checked at autozone for the r5671a-10 and they had them in stock, but what do I gap the single prong to? Never used plugs in my car that needed gapped before...

well mazdatrix says .025 for the br10eix's. not sure if it would be the same for those or not.

I don't advise this. Don't use platinums over standard plugs, especially if you have or are using any kind of methanol in the charge. Very bad idea.

NGK BUR7EQ, BUR9EQ, R6725105, R6725110, R6725115 -- those are the plugs FC guys need to run. FD guys can use the B10EGV's that are using the PowerFC but that is a pretty cold plug for the street. The issue of having a resistor-type plug for use with the Haltech and Microtech setups is critical from what I understand as there's a potential for a noise problem interfering with the trigger. This is for street cars.

For anything over stock boost/stock power levels, absolutely do NOT use BUR7EQ's in the leadings. Swap them out for 9's.

Road-race guys who are seeing lots of load for 20+min at a time need a substantially colder plug; atleast 11's all around.

The issue isn't horsepower per se as that's a fallacious way to rate the use of plugs but rather is an issue of load and more-so chamber temperatures. Try those same warmer plugs on a road-race course and you'll see them be much more prone to turn into glow-plugs. Those that use AI with alcohol/water can get away with using a hotter plug as the chamber temperatures are (usually) much lower compared to gasoline-use only.

Get a stout enough ignition system and you can use colder plugs that won't foul. Bang, bang!

Spark-induced misfire due to a glowing spark plug is brutal and can be fatal to a rotary. I've seen it three times.

Platinum 9's all the way around are fine. Every car that leaves here uses them and I have probably sold 1000 of them.

You talking 'bout me? :biggrin:

... and they're a waste of money. Infact, with the use of methanol, they can be detrimental.

B

methanol cars cannot run the standard NGK "multi ground" plugs. you need a single electorde plug

hmmm.....same with other forms of AI? Any links to some good reading on the subject?

this only appies to full complete methanol based injection (not gas + light alky/methanol inj)

ahhhhh sorry. Anytime I hear BDC say meth I presume he's talking about meth as a form of AI.....

oops! :lol:
