nitrous spark plugs

This is for all the nitrous users out there. 3vzfe with 125 shot. after a year, I have to change my plugs again. What spark plugs are you guys using? I am currently using NGK-4919 which is the BCPR6EIX-11. How long have you been using nitrous with your current spark plugs. My car started misfiring so I'm thinkin its time to change my spark plugs.

if your plugs lasted for a whole year on a 125 shot.....then you're doing just fine with your choice.

Cool

You shouldn't be running a boosted iridium platinum plug that's the stock heat range.
You should be running BCPR7ES with a gap closed down around .032-.036".

Cool

Buy a 10 cent gap measuring device & change it.

Because it's a V grooved iridium plug. To start with you don't want the V-groove plug as it's just another surface edge that detonation can occure at as fuel passes it.
After that, why would you buy iridium plugs? They cost many, many times higher than a copper plug, do not spark any better, and don't last years (read that as way appreciably longer) in an FI engine. You'll still be changing plugs every year, year and a half, so why waste the money? Copper is also an easy plug to read, and if you're real lucky, you'll melt a copper plug before you melt a piston, or a head gasket's fire ring under really high temps. Saving you lots of money.

You can buy the copper plugs for $1.50usd. The NGK 5691's (BCPR7EIX-11) are more $6.50-9.






But ya, whatever you wanna do it's your engine. The misfiring is probably the plugs eaten away & way too large a gap. But gap the plugs you buy down to what I told ya, and run the 7 heat range. Not the stock 6.

aight, thanks for the info man. another question though, how do I know if i should change the cap and rotor of my distributor? what are the symptoms of a cracked or over used one? I'm not sure when the last time it was changed. I changed my spark plug wires last year, how long should it last?

Cool

along time. if they crack, you have weak / no spark *especially* when its wet outside.
You know it's a $15 part for generic replacements. lol like 25-40 for Denso/NGK.
