Hey guys

Reeeeall stupid qusetion and i cant find it no where

What is the exact sparking mesurement for the spark plugs (RB20DET)

Iv found n bn told 1.0mm

1.1mm

0.08mm

I had them all at 1.0mm and it was missing as i was coming on boost fairly mild

took them out made them bit smaller roughly 0.9mm and its running a hell of a lot better now top end high revs is missing???

Sooo im thinking its smaller again!

Just so i dont have to take it apart again, What u guys reckon

Cheers

Cheers KISIN! Yeah i found that, but the answer that person gave "Ummmmmm i reckon..... roughly 0.08mm" (WOW convincing much)

Which yeah i wanted to ask yous n find out EXACTALLY the messurement

0.8 not .08 sorry typeo!!

and yeh standard for RB25s as well.

Hahah thats what i ment as well!

0.08... That would be a very tight spark :P (haha... tight.... :thumbsup: )

With an N/A engine 1.1 is the standard and that is what most plugs are out of the box.

With a force inducted car you get away with what you can but most people will run around the 0.8 mark.

Also be careful with platinum plugs (which i will never use unless i own a car which is a bitch to change plugs) not to touch the electrode as the platinum coating is only a few microns thick and if you push a screw driver in their trying to gap a plug you will ruin it.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
