Do i regap NGK Iridiums for my GT ???

[DancerEP82]

I understand that the NGK Iridiums BKR7 EIX come gapped already which from my research is 1.1mm ! but for my 1995 gt it needs 0.8 i think ?
Im running 1bar of boost with all support mods...

So im abit confused lol would be nice if someone had the answer ???

 

[AdamB]

try gapping them to 0.8 if running 1 bar. If it missfires then go to 0.7.

 

[DancerEP82]

i dont really want to be adjusting the gaps to much though ! as the iridiums are known for breaking so i just want to no if i leave them at 1.1mm or take them down to 0.8mm

 

[dan_ep82]

id carefully check the gap and gap em to spec, i doubt there 1.1mm though! too much of a gap and the boost could blow the spark out

 

[AdamB]

Yeah 1.1mm is quite a large gap, so will probably missfire under load.

 

[popsy09]

pretty sure there already pre gapped to .8 ??

 

[DancerEP82]

thats what i was thinking i just dont want to be pissing about with them to much coz nobody wants to be breaking new parts lol

 

[DancerEP82]

as far as im aware from the research iv done they come pregapped at 1.1mm

where are you getting the plugs ? i know for a fact the ones i got from camskill came pregapped to ,8 and i checked them with a feeler gauge as i reduced it to .6

 

[DancerEP82]

im sure it wont be much cheaper lol , iridiums in my motor factors are about 80 quid no joking

 

[DancerEP82]

omg lol thats bad ! well at the end of the day money is money lol and we need lots of it haha thanks for the help buddy have some rep !

 

[Nwimie]

i tried regapping my irridiums and it misfired like fook. leave them on the gap they are it wont cause any issues

 

[corofin12345]

they are gapped propperly.. the electrode will bend if you try and gap them.. there should be no need 2

 

[Paul_JJ]

You don't gap iridium plugs, you can bend it easy! TM Dev sell Iridium Plugs very cheap, would be safer to get the new ones already pre gapped!

 

[Tim@TBDevelopments]

yeah you never gap iridium plugs. copper cores are ok

[Sheldon]

i had to gap mine as the came pre gapped but not all plugs where gapped the same! just check them with a feeler guage

 

[dac69er]

standard gap is 1.1 mm.

i run about that on all my GTs and have no problems. you may need to reduce the gap if its more highly tuned though. its trial and error.

you should try and run as large a gap as you can (up to the stock 1.1mm) to obtain the strongest spark you can.
