***earkicker*** · 07-09-2008, 02:02 PM

my kit is coming today.

would i be able to put it on with basic hand tools? i got time. also, any suggestions on gauges?

soxfan143 · 07-09-2008, 02:20 PM

Basic hand tools? What kind? Do you have swivel sockets and extensions and stuff? I had to use some special stuff like crows feet and stubby wrenches to get to some of the bolts around the turbo and manifold. Also if your car is a few years old and some of the exhast bolts are rusty you might need some air tools to get them off. Unless you are the Hulk. Nevermind, you live in Cali. You guys don't get snow and salt to rust up the bolts under the car. Lucky SOB. lol.....

I think you mean bumper support. Rebar is used to reinforce concrete structures. I think Highrev1 is the person to ask about retaining your bumper support. IIRC, he had some knowledgeable things to say about it.

i want this kit so bad

There's a specific tool used to gap iridium plugs so that you do not damage the electrode of the plug. So to answer this question yes you can gap iridium plugs and you won't have to gap these plugs because they are already pregapped, I'm running them right now with my greddy turbo and don't have any problems.
Here's the reply from NGK
Hello, The BKR8EIX is the correct one heat range colder plug for thisapplication. The plug will be factory set to .032". If the gap needs tobe adjusted you can do so on the iridium plugs you just have to be surenot to apply any pressure or force to the fine wire center electrode asit can be damaged. The gap should be adjusted by pulling or pushing onlyby the ground electrode. Hope this helps, thank you.

Good info in your post. I'm also running the NGKs with this kit and have no complaints thus far. I tried to use the Denso 1-step colder plugs, but the tuner advised against them. He (they) like NGKs for turbo cars. I've also heard of folks using Pulstar BE-1s. Has anyone else used Pulstars? They're crazy expensive (24.95 per plug), so I want to make sure I'm not wasting the money.

For those of you guys running defoulers with the kit, what kind do you have and where'd you get it from?

the8thwonda' · 08-16-2008, 06:09 AM

First, GREAT INFO and starting point for F/I noobs like myself! Finally convinced to go the TC route > SC. I've got time and limited cash for the next couple of years so i'll be doin' more research/learning regarding TCing. Thanks!
