NGK-BCPR5EIX-11

They are $6.50 each plus 6.95 shipping. They also accept paypal which is very convenient.

[Project240]

They're not hard to find. Hell, I got mine from Pep Boys.

[mmatl16]

you got rb20 spark plugs at pep boys?

[SeVa-S13]

No, but we got 300ZX spark plugs (I think) at Autozone/Pepboys/Napa or whatever. Companies don't make sparkplugs for the skyline, nissan used a sparkplug that was already in existance for the skyline.

$50 each? tell them to go f- themself.

another good one can be use, NGK 3330 (BCPR7ES), coppers, 7 series cold, already gapped at .032", jsut pop them in and boost away. $2.ish each. at Orielly's auto part or any local parts store.

[Project240]

I'm running 6 series since they're one step colder than the 5, is a 7 series cold plug better if I'm trying to up the boost on the stock motor? It wouldn't be too cold?

[BoostFab]

is a 7 series cold plug better if I'm trying to up the boost on the stock motor? It wouldn't be too cold?

it's better and perfect for high boost.

this supra put down 861 horsepower and 801 ft. lbs. of torque on these ngk 3330 (BCPR7ES) plugs.

hey guys i need to get a thermostat too.....before u flame me....dont...i didnt feel like going through endless threads... when u guys just gave such good info so fast....where cn i get one and whats the part number

[mmatl16]

o and i was told by a shop that my gap is supposed to be .26...is that right what you guys got yours at

[Eikon]

Z32 turbo thermostat works perfectly... actually I think the N/A works as well. Available at any car parts store for like $10.

I think the NGK's come gapped properly.. I have heard. .08mm not sure what that converts to

[mmatl16]

thanks for the help guys

[accel junky]

Geez! $50 bucks a plug! You should hit that guy for just trying to pass that to you!

[Bluefire]

I Second the BCPR7ES-11, I've used them on two RB25's and will be using them on a third RB25 im swapping now. Plus they're freakin cheap compared to the iridiums

o and i was told by a shop that my gap is supposed to be .26...is that right what you guys got yours at

.26" = that's more than 1/4 of an inch....no gap is ever that extreely wide...any motor, period....

on RB motors, stock optimum recommendation for spark plugs gap should be around 0.8mm (metric), that's translate to 0.032" (inch).

[mmatl16]

sorry meant to type .026

[sparkplugs.com]

we've got a denso and ngk non-us catalog, it will soon be up on the vehicle lookup on our site, but for now, all i need is the exact make/model/year, and i can tell you their recommendations for all plug types in both brands.

NAPA, $1.95 each or so...and one range colder for larger turbo's or more boost...they're just right

some times the bcpr6es's are hard to find.i get mine from the dealer as i used to work there so i still get mad parts hookups.as for the heat range cooler im not too sure about changing it unless you are running a highly modded engine.im gonna be running the 6's in my car and if i need to i will go to 7's.

[goofynick6]

5's are stock I believe, so I run 6's, because I run a t3/t04E with 18psi on pump gas...so I wouldn't want to run anything hotter.

[lyon23]

hey nick how fast are you running with that turbo? in the 1/4 or 1/8.

[goofynick6]

Didn't get to the track yet with it all pieced together, so we'll see this spring.
