Thread: How To: Side Gap Spark Plugs

The non-resistor plugs will cause interference with the rest of the ECU and you will get erratic ECU/ignition behavior. I don't think you risk "frying" anything though. Going back to resistor plugs typically solves the problem.

One website I saw said that, but I guess it might not be too reliable. Here is one directly from NGK.

i got a newb question,.. what u guys mean about the 6Es and 7Es??

Heat ranges, the higher the number on NGK's the colder they are.

And I can pick these up at any regular autoparts correct?

Hard to say, I always get mine online. G Spec Performance has them at $1.50 a pop for OEM ones.

ok,.. that sites pretty awesome thanks for the link... so what are the end results?? does everyone who tried this still have a running motor after a year?

You say funny thing . Why wouldn't you ? I ran my turbo motor for more then a year with side-gapped plugs and it worked just fine. My motor gained 7whp on the dyno from regular to sidegapped plugs.

haha idk man ive always been the kind of person who doesnt believe something untill its proven,.. so i felt discouraged. i think ill take your word on it and give it a shot.. see what happens. thanks bro

Vadim, where did you end up setting the gap at on these? I didnt see it in the thread.
