What spark plug? gap etc...
Hey guys I have done a lot of searching about what plugs to get for my 05 rs and have gotten a lot of info. The only thing is at the moment I'm completely stock and these other people needing plugs are modded and are running higher psi. I have settled with the copper NGK BPR7ES gapped at .026''. Just wondering if that would be a goof fit for now. Thanks for any help

.26 should be good. I ran the same plugs, and gapped them to .27 for a while, and my car had mods.

I've run BR7ES, BPR7ES on stock framed turbos. Once I stepped up to the 61mm(35r) I now run BR8ES gaped to the same .026 every time.

Never had an ignition hiccup in my car EVER
