v6 turbo and Iridium Sparkplugs

[|<untzie]

no im from canada so we are the metric system, km, meters, kpa, but when dealing with cars we alwyas seem to use imperial,

.040 is around 1.01mm
.035 is around .88 or .89mm if i remember right

no i just know what happens when you run iridiums in boosted v6's LOL.I never fit anything but stock BPR6EFS in ecotec ide consider 1 range colder maybe

What happens when you run these in boosted v6's?

you have to shut them so far so the spark doesnt blow away that they cost power and time tracking down miss and farting problems and the fact that they get hot on the electrode which is bad for preignition which just tends to smash pistons

Hmmmm glow plugs in a petrol engine. that's what those fine tip iridiums are in high boost FI and nitrous engines

The platinum ones would be alright in a boosted engine???? seeing as the centre electrode is the same size as the standard plugs.
