bluute Cant wait to drive it Donating Members 884 Member For: 15y 9m 11d Gender: Male Location: Golden Bay,WA Posted 09/09/08 09:54 AM Share Posted 09/09/08 09:54 AM (edited) Great write-up!!So you used a magnetic spark plug socket? - For anyone who doesn't have one like this, I used a Telescopic Magnetic pick-up tool to extract the old plugs and insert the new ones, as the socket I had wasn't magnetic. Really useful tool to avoid bumping the electrode on the way down. I also used a socket instead of a flat head screwdriver, on the intake hose band clamps to really get them tight.Nice pics too mate, specially the rubbers on the coils - almost lost some Nicka propper spark plug socket will have a rubber gromet in it that will hold onto your spark pluggreat write up mike that sixth plug is a bastard hense the reason fraud servicing usually dont bother changing it Edited 09/09/08 09:57 AM by bluute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGK don't actually list an iridium option. I'd hazard a guess that 'Mike XR6T" isn't actually experiencing a big mid-top end power increase but it's just feeling that way because he's created a flat spot in the bottom end with a smaller plug gap (being not under boost so a less dense charge not requiring the smaller gap of a high density charge) which gives a lower spark temperature.Also, the spark doesn't 'continue' as he claims - it's merely a trigger. The bigger the gap the higher the energy created by the ignition system to jump to the grounding electrode so the higher the temperature of the spark and that temperature is what matters but only to initially ignite the charge - once the flame front begins it propagates on it's own because it's an exothermic reaction. I don't need to use ignition temperature it when calculating the vent area for vessels for explosion proofing them so they don't tear open in the event of an explosion because once it begins it's self-propagating.http://www.ngkspark.com.au/part_index.htm?...k_plug_cars.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have lots of Training to back my explanation.The spark plug web sites offer a basic(and most times inaccurate) explanation of an Ignition systems just to keep people like him that have no real idea happy and thinking they do!sorry buddy but the guys a moron take your car elsewhere I spent 3 years working for a company that develops ignition components and understand exactly how they work.and have spend 6 years in the field fixing ignition systemsthe NGK site is right but it explane the reaction to spark NOT the sparks characteristics itself which is MOST impotrtant!Take your car somewhere whith even half an idea before the f*ks it completelytake it easyp.s the plugs most of us use R WRX iridiums that arnt listed but are perfect for modded T'sWelcome anyone elses comennts on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F6RD Donating Members 249 Member For: 15y 7m 20d Gender: Male Posted 08/10/08 04:53 AM Share Posted 08/10/08 04:53 AM Is it worth changing to .8mm spark plugs if the only mod youve done is better CAI? mind you I need new spark plugs cause my car has done 90,000klms.
