200sx s13 CA18DET - plugs and filter

i just changed the plugs in my sx from an NGK BKR6EY to a BCPR6ES
which i read up was good for the car. i also just put a cone filter+adapter on.
my car is spluttering a bit but only slightly, it didnt do it before and im hoping it goes away....what could this be from? pls help.

What plug gaps are you running?
@ what boost pressure?

at 0.8-1.0Bar i was always happy with BCPR7es plugs gapped to 0.8 - 0.9mm

my car only running at o.6 bar and it has the BCPR6ES-11 which has a 1.1mm gap, which is standard gap.

i wanna increase my boost but have a std ecu system....
how can i do that, just to like 0.8 bar.

just do it shal be fine make your plugs 0.8mm gap will work great

must i take my car to a dyno shop or tuner to increase the boost?
and must i buy new plugs now, how do i make the gap 0.8?
im not sure on all this stuff so just need to make sure

The sputtering is because you have now increased your air flow , the car is running lean, I'd suggest 3 things, Walbro fuel pump, plug gap 0.6, reset ECU so that maf can better adapt to new air flow increase.

If you have a standard T25 turbo, 0.9 is said to be the most relieble boost that turbo can handle, as for going to a dyno, not really nessasary, AFM should be able to adapt after a reset to the new air flow....but a tuner can always set voltage on dyno which would be the best if you can.

No need for new plugs, take them out, use a feuler guage to measure the gap, tap the spark plug bridge slightly against something hard to decrease the gap untill guege is met.

i thought that could be the prob. how much would this cost? and does this mean i need to get new plugs? i just got these ones lol

o ok i see thanx man. its a T28 turbo that i have in now. u think 0.9-1.0 bar will be good? do i take the ecu to a technician to get reset?

Well you don't nessasary need to go for a walbro....but it is the best....you looking anything between R1250-1500 for the fuel pump, you can buy no names that would work, but many people don't trust them, I have never had a isssue though.

The plugs....no need for new ones.

I personally think the t28 will handle 1 bar, many don't, if you can afford it, do the fuel pump and then take it to a good tuner to set up your afm on the dyno to be safe.

sorry for all the q's but i dont have a boost controller or anything so how would i increase the boost.... 😳 im new to the game lol

dude please i know you new to this so we dont want you messing up your car

get a boost controller can get a cheap one for 350 but rather spend the money on a electronic one

take the new plugs you just got get a feeler gauge from auto shop
set the fingets to 0.8 gap then tap the bottom of a plug gently until the feeler gauge can be slid in and out smoothly

or just ask the auto shop you got the plugs to show you how

haha thanx man, i also dont wanna mess up my car...would suck ass.
im gonna have a look for some boost controllers now. so all i need to do is shorten the gap. cool, thanx alot guys.
so its boost controller, reset ecu,plug gap 0.6-0.8mm and fuel pump?

is it true that u can reset ecu just by disconnecting the battery for more than 10 mins? read this on another forum....

yes....

so if i do that then thats one of my probs solved?

That depends whether your standard fuel pump will supply enough fuel for the new air flow....

hopefully it does, im trying it now...
