hi , all going well , duncan from race dynamix is coming to map my car shortly.

he has specified that i should ideally fit colder plugs ie: ngk pfrb 7

so question is, will the car be safe to map and run for a short while with the hotter standard 6 plugs.

just a bit scared incase it gets too hot and melts the end of plug into chamber.

on the other hand i dont want to fit the colder 7's prior to remap as i dont want to foul them up.

also if it is mapped with the 6's fitted will it still run ok when i change to colder 7's

do pfrb 7 come pre gapped , if not what should they be gapped too ?

obviously duncan is the man to ask as hes doing the mapping , but dont really want to bug him as its still holiday time.

so any help from you guys whos had theyre car mapped and faced this situation would be fantastic.

cheers

Can you not just fit the 7's the night/morning before Duncan is due?

Need gapping to, iirc 0.60-0.65mm. In my experience you will need to at least check the gap and adjust if needed.
