Spark plugs for turbo application?

[The Broken Regal]

Just wondering what people are using for turbo application cars. Currently running AL 103s gapped small and I'm sure that isnt helping my idle... just wondering if there are better options out there or if I should just try to find the optimum plug gap and stay with those?

try out a few different one's ya cheepass
and those were gapped small for a missfire that all along is from a crappy aftermarket ICM that is no longer there...how about we put a new set of 103's ngk's etc gapped larger?
we did tons of shit to narrow the problem down, some has to be undone...

did you get the new tags so you can come over this weekend?

Just put in some TR6's on the red car tonight, gapped at .032-.033 didn't help the idle, but cleaned up the top end. No more spark blowout on 11psi, but we'll see. Used to do it on cool nights, and it was still 60 when I tried. Maybe Tom. Morning will tell another story

my neon runs the factory champions at .026 ~ .028 and it seems to like them the most - ive tried a bunch of other plugs and never seem to last like the factory ones...wierd?! but they are cheap and work great so i dont care

Whats TR7 equiv to in the AL family?

I've just heard great things about NGK plugs on both s/c and turbo apps.... but until I change, I really cant complain about my ALs lol

Shouldn't you be running NGK BR7EF's??

 

[skeezer]

Aren't those the equivalent to the non-projected tip TR7? Pretty sure those are the one's I'm running too.

NGK is used on Mitsus. Usually one heat range cooler for higher boost, stock turbo. 2 steps colder for big turbos.

 

[The Broken Regal]

So whats the 103 equiv in NGK, if I'm reading it correctly that would be TR8??? that doesnt seem right!

Tr55s are stock range for me, and AL606s are stock as well.. 605, 104, 103

No problemo!!

 

[The Broken Regal]

Well I guess I should ask, plugs work fine between LS1 and 3800 platforms correct? Plug reach should be the same regardless?

 

[Eagle]

Pretty sure the answer is yes... but not 100%.
