Spark Plugs for Turbo LS

I searched and found that BCPRe7's are what most people say to use. But I just checked my Helms and it says for NGK to use ZFR5F. Which one is better?

use the BCPR7E-11

the helms tells you what to run for a stock motor. With a turbo you need a colder plug, the 7 is colder than the 5.

Re: Spark Plugs for Turbo LS (Haberdasher)

yea I know that the 5 and 7 refer to the plug coldness. I was wondering about the first few letters...

and what did you mean by "6097 stock number..." ?

That's what I run, although I don't have an LS.

Re: Spark Plugs for Turbo LS (Blackack26)

anyone else? And for around 10psi on an LS, should I go 1 step, or 2 steps colder? I'm leaning towards 2....

Re: Spark Plugs for Turbo LS (Rah Rah)

My tuner recommended an 8 cold plug for my simple turbo car, but everyone on here will recommend a 7. Both have worked fine for me.

Re: (Short Round)

I guess I'll go with the BCPR's. Should I get the V-Power or the regular? and where's the best place online to get them from?

Yes, but dont get the -11's. The -11's come gapped to a .044, just get the bcpr7es which comes witha .035 gap I believe, so thats less stress on the tip when gapping to .028-.030.

NGK part number 3330.
