Thread: spark gap

okay so everyone throws spark gap numbers up when people have problems so what should i be setting mine to standard SR16VE just exhaust and intake?

no one? iv pulled the standard factory ones out there .085 at the moment it hought that would be to much was gona go .075??

If 0.075" works for you, go ahead. I was going to say something more like 0.040" (1mm).

i thouth 0.85 wa alot for standard.. thats why i wanted some info ill give 1mm a shot..

cheers

WOW yea, .85 is way too big. Nothing will fire that lol.

.044" is standard iirc. That would be 1.1 mm.

I think Raceworx is trying to say .85 and .75 mm, which is .033" and .029". For example, the bkr6e has a .032" (.8mm) gap.

Raceworx, if you want help, you need to be clearer with your question.

lol wow. im a retard. mm. I'm thinking inches.

I think it's generally around .032" - .035" for coppers and .040" -.044" for platinum plugs.

yeah sorry was mm was 0.85mm gone gto for abit closer... maybe by a .1

ever searched the old forum on this?
ever wondered what the specs are?

I never messed with the stock gap just used the right plugs
I've tried Iriway7 and switched to Racing plugs. Never had an issue.

Fuel, ignition is more important for an engine to run properly than what your gap would be.
