But in all seriousness, you've got a smallport head now eh? How much boost are you planning on running?

I think they take a BCPR6ES stock, so with big boost I'd be inclined to drop it to an 8 heat range. Maybe ask Brendon and Barry etc what plugs they're running.

From memory thats exactly what I run (8's) but had to gap them. Originally ran 6's but even on old 13psi 150kw setup it misfired on high boost (in real world conditions vs dyno).

$5 plugs FTW :lol:

i use BCR8ES or can't remember the new ones i have.

for over 18psi i'd go with an 8 to be on the safe side.

yeh these are only until i get the tune, i think he said something about having to get 8s in so il order them soon, not to woried if cant go over 18psi, im not sure how well the internal wastegate is going to work so may have to get external also before tune
