Default what spark plugs to use??

I have a quick question...I have a B18c with a 60-1 turbo I make 396 hp to the wheels with 300 wtq. I was wondering what brand of spark plugs and what kinda gap people are using thanks. I am currently using NGK Iridium IXwith a .044 gap

I use NGK Platinum 7's at .028. Car is in my sig. I was actually thinking of using a smaller gap, .026 maybe... your .044 gap is f'in huge.....

I think your right.....I was never told how to gap for turbo...but I filed my plugs after just 4 starts after going to boost...(just starting the car in the winter every so often)..sorry I'm kinda a noob to boost and I'm just knida feeling my way around here.....lol....Does anyone have a ideas what I should run my gaps at? Another question....what does the diff. gaps do for you (wide vs. narrow)?

BKR7E's gapped to no larger than 0.028" as a starting point.

BKR8EIX if necessary.

If you're misfiring at 0.028" then close her down a little more as low as 0.018"

I can't believe you are at 0.044 right now and not misfiring like crazy. You got coil on plug or something? Lol
