Hi folks.
Tried to do some digging (till 2009 dated threads), and did not find any dedicated thread on sparkplug.
I have a boosted D16 with 'T28 .49AR hotside' and stock internals (exception to ACL duraglides and cometic 1.5 gasket) doing 0.5bar.
Been running fine for months (i did an engine swap months ago, but the BOT+tune was carried fwd from my previous engine also D16 running BOT for 1.5yrs) and it was tuned on BKR6E and gapped at 0.30".
I did some searching on homemeadeturbo and dseries sites, most of them recommends the 7 heatrange and copper. For some odd reason, i cant find the BKR7 anywhere here =__=.
I checked out some other BOT ppl do here on other engine, and they are using Iridiums.
As im thinking for my next tune to go 0.7bar, i really need to consider heatrange change.
Should I be ok with Iridiums, or i better off order some BKR7E from ebay(transportation fee will make it expensive and make the price close to iridiums bought locally)?
Currently on full boost+WOT my oil temp gets to 105C and water gets to ~98C.
Maybe on current setup/tune, just changing the heatrange may drop my temp?
