Ok so hopefuly ill be doin the install this week. yey. I just have to finish a few things on the fabrication side and then its ready to go in.
When you guys got your denso spark plugs did you have to gap them or did you just put them in?

whered you get the plugs from?

I know the iridiums are hard to gap, so you have to get them pre gapped, and the ones most people get from pro civic are gapped already

as far as yours, depends on where they where purchased... I forget the gap I used, but it takes 10 seconds to just check the gaps..

i know the motor is different, but on the fit with the T!R turbo, AJ-racing recomended to use regular plugs, not iridiums. supposed to make it idle and run a little better. pro: much cheaper plugs...$10 rather than $50. con: change them more often. although its not hard to do on an R18.

i had to gap mine. however, since they were regular spark plugs it was easy. i cant really help you with what teh regualr plug equivilent of the iridiums are though..some one recommend what i should be using. and i have no idea what the stock specs of the r18 are.

^What do you mean by a boost leak? Like does your turbo spool the boost then start to lose boost pressure?^
