I have gapped my plugs at .050 and realised that it was missing and cutting my power at 5000RPM will this damage my engine? I looked at the owners manual it said .060. Did not realise plug gap has to be lower when modded. Will decreasing my gap to .026-.027 give me better performance?
My engine has recently been missing at higher rpms, so last night I removed & replaced my NGK 6097's (.036) with new ones gapped at .030. The miss is gone, but the car stalled a few times on me early this morning.... the ECU needs to "re-learn" for a day or so, then I'm expecting the choppy idle to be gone (this happened before).
I would not go down to .026 though, try something more around .032/.036 if it's your first time. And go with a colder plug, folks here seem to favor the NGK 3330's and 6097's. Though you will need to change them every 3k-5k miles.
By the way, I think stock-gapped plugs should be .044, no?
I have been out of the scene for 8 years or so, and my '95 MKIV has been in storage for the last 6 years or so, but I am getting ready to bust her back out and get the beast rolling again. That said, when I put it in storage I knew I needed a LSD due to the turbo upgrade I gave it... but now the...
Ok so
My question is .. with the 2jzgte vvti with the DBW , I take it the cable is what moves the side of throttle body and it tells the dbw system to open the plate according to how much the cable pulls . Correct ? It’s not like the 350z where the sensor on the gas pedal tells the TB to open up...
Hi guys,
I think I have a f*cked motor. It sounds like spun bearing or rod knock
The motor was a used JDM motor swapped in not long ago
Finally got everything together to tune on AEM V2
Car with ZERO boost wastegate disconnected on STOCK twins
I repeat NO BOOST
After a few WOT runs it...
