anyone actually running NGK plugs with a blower?

[five.slow]

if you have NGK plugs on a blower motor COYOTE 5.0 (please dont tell me you run them in your 86 caddy or your moms 90 chevy pick up only coyote 5.0s) please do you have the proper part number for our motors? i use to run them in my lightning with no issues and shaun told me to use them with my paxton kit. i could just ask him but im sure others want to know as well. thanks.

Have you installed them yet? If so how do you like them?

I run the 6510's on my Paxton 5.0. I had the Ford Racing plugs in at first which is nothing more than a Ford Focus plug and had spark blow out issues at only 9 #'s of boost. Swapped to the NGK 6510's and all the high rpm issues I had went away immediately. Great plug, I'd recommend a set.

Haven't gotten them yet or installed my blower. I just know this is what a lot of people use

These are the ones I run on my car. I've had them on for 2500 miles now and the car runs smooth.

[Bad Intention]

I've run those plugs at 17psi with E85, gapped to .030". What gap did you have them at?

 

[five.slow]

.28-.30 a good overall gap for blower cars? ~8psi

 

[slagburn]

Probably .034" for that psi range. Idle gets a little rough if your gap is tight.

NGK are great plugs, been running them in all the boosted cars without issue. People tend to go with a .030" gap because it works. The problem is it isn't the most efficient gap. The bigger gap you can run, the better spark and power you will make by creating a better burn in the cylinder. I typically increase the gap till i get spark blow out and go back down by .005" or so. If doing this, use a plug like the IX that wont wear fast and increase the gap after some use like the standard copper plugs will.

Yea always ran ngktr6 plugs in my last 4 boosted vehicles with no issue at all. Just wish the normal tr6 worked.

 

[Nocturnal5.0]

I run the same NGK's on my Paxton coyote as well, gapped to .032, runs great, much better than when I had initially re-gapped the stockers .032. Also, I'm running the base 3.8 pulley.

 

[stang8psi]

^ same setup here also

 

[beefcake]

the 6510's are what we run, and what we recommend on the blower cars.

it's one heat range colder than stock and exactly what you want on these cars

I ran them at .032. There are 2 problems I had with the frpp plugs. The plug is .026" shorter than the stock plug and from talking with a couple of engine builders, I was told the stock plugs already sit pretty high up in the 5.0 4V cylinder head. The Focus plug only makes that worse, the frpp plug part numbers can be cross referenced to an SVT Focus. The other issue I had was on 3 of the plugs the ground strap and electrode were off center by quite a bit which is most likely what caused the spark blow out. Basically the spark was at an angle. Maybe I just got a bad set but I put in the NGK's and my motor hasn't skipped a beat since. I did come across 2 other people on the interweb who have had the exact same issue I had with them. However some have used them with no issue so who knows.
