Mr Sado me, but here goes .....

all 1.8-liter / EJ18E,
2.2-liter / EJ22,
2.5-liter / EJ251,
EJ25D1-3 and
not for 1998 EJ25D
93-97, 99-04 Impreza, RS, TS, 89-99, 00-01 Legacy, Outback,
00-04 Forester Standard Plug Gap is 0.044 for NGK Iridium IX plugs

2.0-liter Turbo / EJ20 WRX is 0.03 (ie normal engine in the UK)

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".

.....takes off white jacket and steps back into padded cell !
Hope that helps mate.
