Update on my problem, BKR7E question 2nd page..

[r8byb]

Yeah i will do its just come to my head it could possibly be a pipe sucking its self shut at peak boost under full load ?

 

[r8byb]

Right hes told me the problem is the spark plugs, which makes sense as its been running standard plugs from seat for god knows how long.

He's told me to get some Bosch FL7LDC's and they need re-gapping to 0.35mm, there what he uses in his 400 bhp 1.8T so reckon theyll be ok guys ?

 

[PhilW]

No idea what those plugs are but the standard gap is .71mm.

 

[r8byb]

Christ so a fair bit off what i should have for the power im running ? What plug gap or BKR7E's and IK22's as i cant see it in the FAQ

Cheers

Need to get some IK22's then mate. Dont use that ebay link on page one thats more expensive that this one:
http://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/pages/pricing/applications/Denso-Iridium.asp

Comes to £36 for 4 and only a pound something postage. I just ordered mine from there with next day delivery for £41

BKR7E's, 2 quid a plug and they work really well. I put them in mine this weekend regapped to .028" and its helped to run more timing.

 

[r8byb]

christ so me running old standard plugs with a 0.71mm gap really wont be helping then as im running boost 9 and T7 on revo..

Are BKR7E's copper, i looked in halfords but i didnt look at the copper ones i dont think, and whats the standard gap on the bkr7e's, he said he would re-gap those bosch ones to 0.35.

Cheers

Just been and ordered 4 BKR7E's, will they need regapping before fitting ? running roughly 210 bhp ?

Thanks.

 

[PhilW]

Theyre fine as standard.

 

[r8byb]

Ok then, does that make sense do you think, the plugs being at fault for my problem explained ?

 

[PhilW]

Always good to changed your plugs anyway and for that price its not a bad thing.

 

[r8byb]

Just been and got them cost me 11 quid, having them fitted along with an oil and filter change on thursday .

 

[truCido]

your not paying for someone to change your spark plugs are you?

 

[r8byb]

Damn right i am .
