Hi

Ive read a bit about spark plugs and was thinking of getting the platinum NGK ones (BKR6EP-8/2215) as they have good reviews and are long life.
I was just wondering if i should go one colder and get the BKR7EP ones? I have a 3" exhaust and am running at 15psi. I don't often boost it so mostly stay under 12psi, but with the increase in boost would it be safer to have colder spark plugs for when i do thrash it or is it not a good idea or not necessary??

Thanks for the help in advance

Mint smile.gif hopefully by today i can be driving my car, thanks guys! So my bov is plumbed to the right place it just needs a check valve? I think i know the one it looks like a little in-line filter - disk like?

I dont have ac so it must me correct to have that line blocked.

So the line in the fourth picture goes to some factory unit which is mounted on the fire wall smile.gif what is this unit and is it necessary and is there a part number on it? Can i get one off a st202 as i thought i saw a picture showing that they had a similar unit as well?

Thanks 3WayStunna smile.gif . So just to make sure ive got it right, i reconnect the yellow lines in the third picture with a new piece of tubing (to remove the boost tap) and then i also reconnect that red line (in your picture you posted) with a new piece of tubing?

Just wondering, would you be able to post a picture of your GT4, with lines on it so i can see clearly, where the pipes should be for the bov and thecream line in the fourth picture which comes out of the charge cooler?

Yeah i brought the car like this, im in New Zealand so im not sure if its a UK GT4 or what, it was imported about 4 years ago and im not the first owner

thanks for the help, is the pcv valve located on the fire wall just near where the car identification plate is? i.e in the second photo it should be on that hole on the firewall just above the dark green circle.


Could someone with a 3sgte can post some picture of their lines? or even look at their set up and tell me what color pipes go where? It would be really appreciated smile.gif

Hi guys, i need your help kindasad.gif

I'm not to sure whats happening with the engine bay and i want to return it to stock and don't know how. So if anyone could help me out that would be appreciated smile.gif

Is the bov plumbed properly? Because i don't think its working and I'm getting compressor surge. The bov looks as thought its been opened and glued back together. Is the breather filter in red fine there? What does it do?




What does this do and what is this plug used for? (The air conditioning has been removed- just in-case that helps)




How do i remove this boost controller and plumb it back to normal?




Where should this be plumbed to?



What is meant to go where the gray marking is? What is meant to go where the pink is? But most importantly where should the brown pipe be plumbed to?




Just out of interest what does this unit do?





Also, does the internal diameter of the pipe used to fix up the plumbing matter?
