-11 is 1.1mm unless it was re-gapped

beaten

[scotty nm35]

Miss firing = fuel in the exhaust manifold = boost spike.

Good news Aaron, are you happy or sad?

[Down_Shift]

my boost gauge doesn't show any boost spike, goes to 10psi but settles down to 9psi.
During the misfiring revving pass 4k rpm, it makes a constant popping from my rear muffler from what I can tell.

[Sunkist]

I don't even know, I've been sitting here looking for excuses not to let it go...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

What are the plugs gapped to?

[Down_Shift]

Plugs were 1.1mm, didn't re-gap.
Felt better than the old ones until the misfiring came back which was after a few days of driving.

[Leroy Peterson]

1.1 is a bit big for turbo applications I thought. 0.8 is more common, stronger arc.

evos are crappy little girls cars....is that reason enough...need another, your gfs car is cooler (almost)

Ed* oh wait you said excuses NOT to let it go...sorry I got nuthink..

1.1 is standard for the rb25 but .8 is the norm for anything modded...

I just go to bursons and ask for rb20 plugs usually..they are the bpr6 blahdy blah whatever they are the ones you want

did you seriously just read all that crap we wrote to Pat about plug gaps THEN put in 1.1's already put them in? lol

take out plugs and gap to 0.8

missfire will mysteriously vanish

Last day in Manila, long damn week.

Lol as far as I'm aware, plugs wear by creating a larger gap. As the 1.1's wear they grow to 1.2+

This is when you start having misfires

It you start at 0,8 they will wear down to 0.9, 1.0

Drop to 0.8 if misfiring. Although I'm getting away with 1.1's at 220kw

[scotty nm35]

You offering Aaron? Bring some around and I will fire up the new barbie.

[Sunkist]

you got the new one? does it even work yet?

I'm only running fmic and exhaust, boost sitting on 9psi after those mods.

Thought I'll be alright with 1.1mm since not running much power, shall re-gap to 0.8mm and perhaps coilpacks.

Misfiring better go away before deca!

Misfiring isn't only from increased pressure in the cylinder, it is caused by excessive amounts of fuel also. If they are running good AFR's in the top end and cylinder pressure is under control they should be able to run 1.1mm just fine, if not the coil packs may be flogged.

You are right, plugs do wear slowly. If they are wearing fast you may be overheating them, perhaps try a BPR7.
