Default What spark plugs

Hi chaps.
Could someone tell me what type plugs and gaps size is the best for a 2lt yb cosworth,
It has a 330 chip 3bar map sensor greens and a s111 turbo technics hybrid turbo, T/technics say turbo good for 300/310bhp set at 18psi thats as high as they will warranty it for.
Paul.

I'd go with IK31 too, good plug, gap is dependant on coil being used, wider does not mean better, wider gaps came about to ignite weaker eco freindly fuel mixtures.
I have a ACCEL coilpack on my sapph and gapped at 0.5mm, on std 3ms coil time.
The difference with the ACCEL coilpack is very significant especially low down and when cold, about £65 but well worth it.

I can only say I have had no issues with them, they seem pretty resistant to fouling, as I drive like an old grandad sometimes, and they never do anything but behave right.
I had some 071's in there at one time, they did the job ok, but just seems more eager with Ik31, if on coilpack though I can defo recommend a ACCEL coil part number 140018, this is the early type coilpack, about 40% more energy and according to the blurb better spark duration, certainly makes a difference though, as I am looking now for one for my other halfs astra.

Yep, therefore I'm switching my standard answer to IK31

Doesn't make any difference.

Ask for Denso IK31 or NGK BCR8ES
