BCR 8ES plug Gaps
Anyone know what gap for a NGK BCR 8ES plug on a standard RS turbo?
just fixed the car today, wasnt starting cos of a fubar ignition Relay and sorted the over boosting problem by piping the compressor to actuator, boosts and holds 7psi now
boosts fine if you dont floor it fast, but if you pin it it sounds like its blowin the spark out.
So, what plug gap for 7psi?

Spark doesnt actually go out, nor does it get blown out.
There is not sufficient power in the spark to jump the gap.
Think its maybe time to renew your coil and amp ?
is the dizzy ok?

T28 RST, cheers
Series1Dry, ty too
Rick, ta, but dont say that
I dunno what it could be then, you plant it hard and once boost comes in it sounds a bit like "drrrrr" then you back off an reapply the go pedal a bit softer and its fine?
Might book it into AVA in a couple of weeks if im feelin flush
Take it, it's ok to bypass the anal valve and run compressor - actuator? it was setup for 7psi and this is what its running now.

cool, ta!
well jus need to gap the plugs and cross fingers it doesnt do the dreaded missfirey sorta weird drrrr noise when I plant it
cheers for your help lads
p.s. heres the fooked Ignition Relay that was causing the non starting problems
bad pic but the brown stuff is corroded to fook !

I was thinking of getting a grpA coil so this might help, coil gives off a healthy spark tho? dizzy - not sure on that one, when you take the cap off it moves in and out from the cam about 5mm...not sure if dizzy's are meant to do this? I dont thinkso

Just because there is a spark at the coil it doesnt mean its getting to the plugs properly...thats one of the main reasons you change to a coil pack set up...less gaps to jump so a healther voltage gets to the plugs.

Would it be possible to change MFI - coil pack/Edis? I can get an Edis thingy no prob!
Checked the spark at plugs but my mate was watching so dnt know how good it was, will ask
