Hey all I was just curious as to what spark plugs you guys run on your RB's. I currently have NGK BCPR6ES's right now that im getting ready to put in but don't really know what their supposed to be gapped too. Any help would be appreciated.

OhSnapS14 · 07-15-2012, 05:45 AM

if its gotta good tune i dunno..otherwise i gap mine to .08 which is like .31 in inches.

89240sex · 07-15-2012, 06:00 AM

But what plugs? I've heard the z32 tt ones work pretty well on a semi stock setup. But im not stock so idk what to use lol

RB25 ZENKI · 07-15-2012, 08:17 AM

i use ngk plugs on my rb25. it use to be product code 3330. now its bcpr7es stock #6282. good luck finding them locally though. Every auto zone/o reaileys/ advance i went to couldnt get them anymore. i went to my tuners shop and he found me a set of 4 at one place and had to order the other 2 from another.

89240sex · 07-15-2012, 09:36 AM

Well that's not really any help. I need something i can find easily.

RB25 ZENKI · 07-15-2012, 09:26 PM

z32 tt plugs fit. buy them at auto zone. they come pre gapped.

*hotboiblaze* · 07-15-2012, 09:40 PM

*hotboiblaze* · 07-15-2012, 09:47 PM

Alright ill give them a try.

fullthrottle · 07-16-2012, 06:49 AM

If you turned the boost up you want heat range 7.

89240sex · 07-16-2012, 08:06 AM

I dont have stock turbo anymore. I'm looking at the NGK Iridium's for the z32 TT at advance auto parts. Those seem to be pretty good.

89JDM240sx · 07-16-2012, 06:55 PM

If your running higher than stock boost you want to run heat range 7 ( step colder ) gap them at .028 cooper plugs are good for boost to... But NGk # 7's are your best bet

89240sex · 07-17-2012, 05:54 AM

Buy NGK Spark Plugs (BCPR7EY-11) 1271 at Advance Auto Parts

What about those?

89240sex · 07-17-2012, 06:14 AM

Those are like the only ones i can find that are heat range 7. Other than the iridiums. Which im not sure what heat range those are.

RB25 ZENKI · 07-18-2012, 10:47 PM

you want copper plugs, not iridium

Well everything i can find copper is heat range 6. and you guys are saying go heat range 7 for higher boost which is understandable. But again, i can't find anything at your local autozone/advance so if you guys could give me a link it would be appreciated.

NGK BCPR7ES Spark Plug | eBay

these are what i run on my setup. only $3.20 a piece on ebay, free shipping

greenwood · 07-19-2012, 01:59 PM

I have been running Autolites on mine for over a year

runs just fine

N2HIFI · 07-19-2012, 03:08 PM

I've been running the Z32 TT plugs for 2 years gapped at .28 with zero issues

Just upgraded to a RB25 turbo on 10psi so I'll probley switch to 7's now due to the increase in heat

89240sex · 07-20-2012, 07:10 AM

Just bought some BKR7E's from advance. Stock # 4644. Hope this solves my issue.

*Josh400* · 07-30-2012, 12:19 AM

I bought the BKR7E's from advance auto parts. They run pretty awesome in my car. I have a bigger turbo and the boost turned up a few pounds so i figured i would give these a try. They are a step colder on the heat range so it's better for higher boost. Def recommend them to any RB owner. Very good plugs for the 20 dollars i paid.

Holy fuck they're expensive now. They used to be 1.80 a pop and I can buy the 10 pack for less than $20

omgRWDgoodness! · 07-30-2012, 08:22 AM

I have NGK BKR6Es gapped to .30 and doing just fine for the $2 and change they cost at Advance. Still stock turbo, though.

*Yellow4g63* · 07-30-2012, 01:54 PM

My rb20 came with autolites in it from Japan. I had to switch back to them since I super fowled out my ngk's.

I can't believe it cost 20 bucks.. I paid 70 for NGKs. They gave me the wrong ones. It's for a KA and the heat range is 5. Damn I just got hustle. (fuck me) But glad to know those are working for you. I'm going to order those. Thanks for the help

89240sex · 07-31-2012, 06:10 AM

Everyone thinks they have to pay some outrageous JDMASFUCK price for RB plugs. While they pay 100 bucks for plugs i pay 20 bucks all year. I recommend the BKR7E's. Haven't had a problem yet. Also, the BKR7E's are NGK's haha.

JDM tax is to high! BTW, the ones you post, what heat range you went with?

ch1873857 · 07-31-2012, 09:04 AM

just want to reiterate the fact that you have to take it down it at least .8mm. 1.1mm is what most auto parts store plugs are gapped at. the part number will read something like BCPR6e-11 or BKR6E-11

I personally use BKR7E because my car is mostly track..
