Hey all I was just curious as to what spark plugs you guys run on your RB's. I currently have NGK BCPR6ES's right now that im getting ready to put in but don't really know what their supposed to be gapped too. Any help would be appreciated.

i use ngk plugs on my rb25. it use to be product code 3330. now its bcpr7es stock #6282. good luck finding them locally though. Every auto zone/o reaileys/ advance i went to couldnt get them anymore. i went to my tuners shop and he found me a set of 4 at one place and had to order the other 2 from another.

If you turned the boost up you want heat range 7.

I dont have stock turbo anymore. I'm looking at the NGK Iridium's for the z32 TT at advance auto parts. Those seem to be pretty good.

If your running higher than stock boost you want to run heat range 7 ( step colder ) gap them at .028 cooper plugs are good for boost to... But NGk # 7's are your best bet

Those are like the only ones i can find that are heat range 7. Other than the iridiums. Which im not sure what heat range those are.

you want copper plugs, not iridium

Well everything i can find copper is heat range 6. and you guys are saying go heat range 7 for higher boost which is understandable. But again, i can't find anything at your local autozone/advance so if you guys could give me a link it would be appreciated.

I've been running the Z32 TT plugs for 2 years gapped at .28 with zero issues

Just upgraded to a RB25 turbo on 10psi so I'll probley switch to 7's now due to the increase in heat

Any updates? How's the car the car running. I'm having issues with spark plugsI bought the BKR7E's from advance auto parts. They run pretty awesome in my car. I have a bigger turbo and the boost turned up a few pounds so i figured i would give these a try. They are a step colder on the heat range so it's better for higher boost. Def recommend them to any RB owner. Very good plugs for the 20 dollars i paid.

I can't believe it cost 20 bucks.. I paid 70 for NGKs. They gave me the wrong ones. It's for a KA and the heat range is 5. Damn I just got hustle. (fuck me) But glad to know those are working for you. I'm going to order those. Thanks for the help

Everyone thinks they have to pay some outrageous JDMASFUCK price for RB plugs. While they pay 100 bucks for plugs i pay 20 bucks all year. I recommend the BKR7E's. Haven't had a problem yet. Also, the BKR7E's are NGK's haha.

JDM tax is to high! BTW, the ones you post, what heat range you went with?

just want to reiterate the fact that you have to take it down it at least .8mm. 1.1mm is what most auto parts store plugs are gapped at. the part number will read something like BCPR6e-11 or BKR6E-11

I personally use BKR7E because my car is mostly track..
