bcpr6es-11 NGK plug, already gapped to 1.1mm

if you are running more boost then you may want to think about just the regular bcpr6es which is gapped to 0.8mm

there should be no need for it to be gapped smaller unless your are running a significant more amount of boost from stock

they should run ok, but you can always gap them out if it doesnt run too well.

i personally dont like running anything but coppers in nissan boosted engines. for some reason ive seen anything but coppers get eaten 9 times out of ten. And iridium plugs are pregapped in the package they are not supposed to be gapped as it ruins the tips

i keep hearing to run the bcpr6es plugs, went to 5 diff locations and coulld not be found, so i went to my tuner Andrei who has quite a bit of experience with nissans in general at one point they had the highest output ka documented, and an 800 whp daily driven rb26 s14.5 its blue and youve probably seen it. anyways he said to run the bkpr6es, mine isnt anything special just a stock mostly rb25, i gapped them to .08 and had sputtering all through boost, so i took them out and compared them to the plugs that were origannally in the car which were the bcpr6es but those were gapped at about .04 so im going to regapp them, if your having problems try lowering the gap. andrei said to gapp them to .028
