T-Rex Donating Members 98 Member For: 12y 9m 21d Gender: Male Posted 06/04/14 05:15 AM Share Posted 06/04/14 05:15 AM Hey allThe times come to replace my plugs, the consesus seems to be BKR6E are what everyone uses but when I bought the car I was told specifically it was using a different plug so I was aware of it which is a BCPR7ES. It has been tuned which is why im here and what I would like to know is:Are they are right for the application?Are they tune specific?Is there anything to lose or gain from changing?Im not sure what I'm looking for in terms for differences all I know is BKR's are pre gapped at .8 with a V groove along with better ignition, and BCP's are pre gapped at .9 with a standard electrode and supposed to be long life. Other than that they are supposedly the same on the NGK rating graph.I want to be cool like everyone else but I thought I'd ask whether its worth sticking to what I have or changing to something possibly better.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
