Most of the time a 7 will be a good starting point.

Learn to read plugs or consult your tuner, whoever you're using... I've done some cars that will make 500whp and require a 8 plugs and others will run a 7 just fine.

7's are a good starting point, use a resistor spark plug, not a copper.

Bgdriver is correct. Ngk Bkr7e 4644 gapped @ .28.. They're a step colder and perfect for your setup

Because I definitely don't have a Vitara D16 with a TD05 that's been running for 3 years with BRK7E 4644.

And evidently every motor is also exactly the same, and we can all build off the same template! Who would have thought. Pack it up, guys. Motor builders have been wrong for all of these decades. Stop buying GTRs - they all obviously have the exact same motor. There's nothing special about them.
