where are you setting your gap?

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.

Bad reply as the BnnEGV series plug is a single tip gold/palladium plug.

so .025 is the general consensus of 1?


I haven't been checking the gap of the plugs, i just toss them in, and the car has been running fine. It pull hard and smooth up to 8, but i figure i should just be consistent and check them when i change the plugs.

My car runs like complete dog **** for about the first minute after start up, but its a combination of not using the IAC and Startup/coolant temp enrichment maps. After its warmed up, it is babies *** smooth all the time. People say the 11s are too cold for the street but its simply not the case. The car runs just as smooth with the 11s and 1/2 bridge as it did with the 9s and a street port. And the price is hard to beat, its easy to just throw a fresh set in whenever, whereas it would sucks with $40/pop plugs. You do need a thin walled socket though. Took me about 20 minutes with a bench grinder to make my own.

nice! I need to buy a few sets from sparkplugs.com. The only doubts I had with that spark plug was that it was gold witch is no where near as good as platinum or iridium.

As far as rotary plugs you don't gap them. Only the single tip style plugs.

So these are completely functional in a turbo rotary?

Serious question because I have never even heard of this before.

Yes, i've been running them all year and have a friends thats ran them for a couple year, but like i said, you do need a thin walled socket to install/remove them.

Hey guys I just got my 10.5's from RX7.com today and plan on putting them to use this sunday at the strip. I saw some talk about needing a thin wall socket to get these in? If so, does anyone know of an easy way to accomplish this without a grinder or thin walled socket and no time to order something online?


Thanks in advance. D
