spark plug gapping
whats up, im running a b18b at 8psi it is breaking up above 5000 RPM, by breaking up i mean it seem like its missing, not detnoation. i just bought new plugs today and gapped them to .28. is that too much? not enough? should i buy some colder plugs? keep in mind the car is running very rich because it is running on a super rich base map.
i just put the turbo on and need to get it running smoothly before i get it tuned

Re: spark plug gapping (88hondahatch)
gap the plugs to 0.022 - 0.024.. but you really shouldnt be boosting on a basemap, not a very good idea at all, particularly if you dont know what your basemap actually looks like

yea i know its not a good idea but who can resist doing it a couple times, its not like i hit it in every gear, every time i drive it, plus im shifting at 5 when i do. i do know the base map, my buddy and i made it
anyhow i got some part numbers at work today and ordered them from NAPA and they will be here tomarrow.
part numbers for ngk plugs are:
old part number (some places still use it): BCPR7ES 11
new part number:1095
so if anyone else is having a simalar problem i hope this helps

^well both are used on a regular basis, the second one is a lil easier to use (because of how short it is and there is less room for mistake because there isn't 100 other plugs that are identical except for one letter/number)
but are those the G-power ones or whatever they are called (the non "V-power")
