    [QUOTE=iamhappy46;1475040]BPR6EIX-15 Similiar to the Supercharged V6 engine plug but a 1.5 gap





    QUOTE]

    BPR6EF=15 have 1.5 mm gap too. thats what the -15 stands for. I use them in my car. I would run 7s in a blown engine, I used to run mostly 8s in turbo 4s. I am sure u can get BR7EF NGKs. I would stick with the copper plugs for cost.

    Just took them out for the blower install and they look perfect after 6 months use.

    As previously mentioned in this thread, the above mention plug are definately shorter then the stock delco platinums I pulled from the VE. But having used the BPR6EF-15 for a while now, I find they are pretty good.

    I have noticed 2 different plugs mentioned the BPR6EF-15 and the BPR6EFS-15. What are the difference here?

    There is a spark plug lead 'sock' available made from fibreglass weave. I have them on my TT install as I kept burning out leads initially. Will find the box tonight and let ya know.

    Hymey have a look at http://www.ngkspark.com.au/sparkplug.php# in the product information section it explains the part numbering system. S represents "standard type" but have a look at the website it explains it very well and theres some good info on there as well.

    Hope this helps mate

    I had the same problem with the lead touching the headers. I have swapped the lead out with an MSD 8.5mm and have had no issues since.

    Re: best spark plugs and leads

    Broke one of my Eagle Leads whilst changing the plugs yesterday.
    Couldn't find anyone in Adelaide with a decent set of replacement
    leads at short notice, all wanted 5-10 days to get them in,
    and up to $240 for 10mm Top Gun Leads.
    Luckily, I found these on ebay, not a bad price either.

    Re: best spark plugs and leads

    Just got a set of MSD leads for $110 brand new.
    Will be using either genuine Holden platinum plugs or the NGK platinums.

    Smile Re: best spark plugs and leads

    Just put in my NGK platinums and the Ton Gun leads... after all this time, been lazy... but WOW, I can really tell the difference with these. The original leads and plugs have lasted 105,000 KMs and when they came out they looked spot on... nice light brown, no buildup no wear..... suppose I can put that down to Slick 50 every 3rd oil change and the BP ultimate... but Im still impressed with the new pickup.
