is .44 right for a stock h22 with only intake and catback?

 

of course it is, you can add as many modifications you desire but the gapping well always remain the same

 

i was ackualy worried if .44 was to much? cuz i bealive the lager the gap the more bulit your block needs to be

 

if the engine its self is stock then .44 is the specific gap size for the h22 so no worry

 

ight dude tight

 

actually i did some research and if you ever plan going forced induction then it will be a different gap size but on a stock motor its .044

 

.044

 

thats what i ment my bad i suck at typing

 

a running larger gap would have nothing to do with how built the block is. It has to do with the strength of the ignition system. however your gap depends on cylinder pressure also. Increased cylinder pressure via higher comp, turbo, nitrous would decrease the spark plug gap, therefore you cannot add as many mods as you like and run the same gap.

In other words run .044.

toche..

 

(i have no idea about gapping i was just reading on msd and hgks website and they where talking about largeer gaps are for havily modded engings ill try to find it)

 

lol

well with a stronger ignition system that would be possible. Which would decrease spark lag.

 

ok heres what ngk said:

Q: Do I need to set the "gap" when installing a new set of plugs?

A: Maybe. A spark plug part number might fit hundreds of engines and, although the factory will typically set the gap to a pre-selected setting, this may not be the right gap for your particular engine. Insufficient spark plug gap can cause pre-ignition, detonation and even engine damage. Too much gap can result in a higher rate of misfires, loss of power, plug fouling and poor fuel economy. It is always best to check the gap against the manufacturer's specifications.

Another consideration that should be taken into account is the extent of any modifications that you may have made to the engine. As an example, when you raise compression or add forced induction (a turbo system, nitrous or supercharger kit) you must reduce the gap (about .004" for every 50 hp you add). However, when you add a high power ignition system (such as those offered by MSD, Crane, Nology) you can open the gap from .002-.005".

If you have any questions, please contact the NGK Sparkplugs Tech Staff here. The manufacturer of your vehicle, the company that produced the aftermarket products you've used and/or your mechanic are all additional sources of gapping information if you've modified your vehicle.

so, "i love jdm" was right

 

that sounds right on the money

the only thing i was not 100% sure about was how much you have to decrease the spark plug gap. I would imagine that what they said was a general rule of thumb not necessarily true for all applications.

 

 

so if i run



with



.044 will be what i need

 

Does the JDM H22A run the same gap?

i forgot to mention that increase cylinder pressure is directly related to more heat. With more heat colder plugs may be needed depending on how much more.

 

does the NGK Iriduims come gapped to spec?

I just bought a set of BKR6s yesterday and they were all at 36.....I run them at 40.
