i have been running 0.7mm gap and having an issue for over a year and a half. now ive been lazy up to now, it has nt been a problem as i have got used to it and learned to avoid it. so now im thinking about trying to fix it :lol:
i was going to reduce the gap in 0.05 stages down to 0.5mm or until its resolved? So i thought id see what others are using (i appreciate set ups will vary) i just didnt want to take the gap too close etc
I think at the moment i have the BKR9EIX but i might try the BCR8ES?
Regards

I tried 7's/8's and 9's on my old car and both the 7's and 8's worked best right up to 2 bar with out any problems at all, And that was using the standard ignition system.

tell you something else you could try that arent a gimmick and do actually work and thats splitfire!
im gonna try using one on my car (ive now done away with the msd)
i used to use thes on other cars 'some turbo some not' and providing it has a dizzy they work great.
they screw into either side of the coil king lead or you can fit one to each ht lead and they split / amplify the spark at the plug.
last time i bought some they were from a motorbike show in london and the first bike i tried them on went like the clappers once i had set the carbs up.
once ive done my crank in my car il try these out and let peeps know whether they are good or not on a turbod car running high boost.

I've run 1.65 bar for the last year on NGK 8 and they have never missed a beat, also with std ing system.

I have always used standard ignition. Had some problems a few years back with the spark aplifier module.
When I had the GT30/40 fitted, I couldn't get over 1.6 bar of boost without having spark blowout in every gear, so wired in a H.K.S twin power ignition aplifier and it never missed a beat after that all the way to 2.4 bar.

Dunno mate, since I ran it in I havent bothered with it due to the racing season was more or less over by the time the ppg box was built up, so it'll be sat at dp untill spring.
I do believe that they are going to be putting it on car planets rollers very soon to do some tweeking and see what she's putting out.
