spark plug gap for turbo d16a1
i was wondering if anyone knows what the spark plug gap should be on a turbo d16a1. i will be running about 6-7 psi on it. this is the dohc d series out of an 89 integra.
if you dont know the gap on this motor, what is the average gap change for any car?

dude dont listen to the newby^^^. run 1 step colder plugs than the original and gap them to .32. .42 is way too big and might get blown out and cause misfires.

You have no clue.
1 step colder start with an .032 gap.
Sorry, I am not sure what plugs are used in this engine.

I called "DRAG TURBO KITS" and they recommend using that spark plug and to gap it .035..... this was for my set up and probably universal for all b series turbo set ups. SIR2 with DRAG turbo at 7psi
