spark plugs
 

thinking about changing the spark plugs to iridium looks not to bad of a job but heard something about gapping them how do you do this (turbo 2000 1998) and what should the right gap space be

You need a spark plug gap gauge

spark plug gap gauge, Cars, Parts Vehicles items at low prices on eBay.co.uk

You'll need some feeler gauges to gap them, if I recall correctly it should be 0.7 to 0.8mm, but please check that before you gap them.
Yeah, it's not a mega hard job swapping them, makes it even easier if you remove the airbox and battery. It also helps if you have tiny hands!

:thumb: anybody else confirm the right gap for the spark plugs and anybody no were i can get a decent set from

plugs come out the box ,gapped at 0.6,with should be the right gap(done from factory)
unless it wildly tuned.........and just fitted mine straight out of the box!!!

what heat range will you go for 6,7,8's
and they are bkr?eix
6 and 7's are fine but 8's are best for highly tuned cars
i've been running 7's in mine for ages and no probloms.
but sure people will disagree..!!!!!!!!!!

what plugs do u use

I bought a set of spark plugs from a subaru parts website.
took old plugs out, fitted new ones.
no problems, i honestly dont even know how to gap them :freak3:

anybody no of some decent plugs and the correct gap they should be fo my turbo 2000 1998 :thumb:

These are an example of the ones i always buy:

Impreza UK Turbo Spark Plugs NGK PFR6B

You'll get them anywhere tho.

was just looking at them mate before you put the link up cheers what they like spot on think i might order them

Had no problems with them at all.
Had a set on a wrx, was about to fit a set on an sti but didnt get the chance before the car was sold. so should be fine on a turbo 2000.

Where do you chaps geneally buy your plugs? Do any of you use Denso Iridiums?

Considering adding some fast selling Subaru items to my eBay shop thats all.

anybody no the correct gap space for some ngk pfr6b spark plugs or will they come to go straght in
turbo 2000 1998

0.7mm is what mine (pfr6b) are gapped as and are fine

i run bkr7eix(iridiums) but am over the 310bhp
pfr6 or 7b's are fine...for 220-270bhp
the number is the cold rating!!
any i listed will fit straight in your car,straight swap....
if you want some pfr7b's i can find you some,cheaper than £5 a plug
like most places...
just sold my last set!!!!but can get more...give me a p'm
