a question or two

[NightKiss]

Just wondering what spark plugs you guys would recommend and cap clearance for a 1992 impreza wrx non-sti and what Psi my tires should be.

bkr6es 0.7-0.8 gap

[NightKiss]

Should I use .7 or .8 does it make much of a difference?

[Marky]

Nup

More don\'t get the 1.1mm gap plugs, there will be a close gap for turbo models and wide gap for n/a

[NightKiss]

I see yea I gave a Turbo model

[Joker]

not quite there were NA WRX\'s (newsuba might pop in with details)

year might help, the more details/info we have the more helpful we can bees

what size tires are you running as well

17"s or 16"s etc

[NightKiss]

1992 Subaru impreza wrx non-sti Turbo standard 16s

[Pappu1]

as long as its gap between 0.7-0.8 u will be fine

use heat range 6 ok

[NightKiss]

Wicked next question is I just reinstalled. My boost solenoid booseting 11 took it for a blat when it hit 5 1/2 6k rev it felt like the engine burpped it hesitated like lose of power and back to normal in 2nd 3rd didn\'t try 4th or 5th as I figured it would do the same

Any ideas?

Clutch? My car does the same, on boost, low ish rpm top gear it slips, lets go, slips, feels just like hesitation

[DacerX]

fun little qurks

[NightKiss]

Could be but only happens when I hit 11psi at 5k+ revs so high end / load

Bees are cool.

All GC WRX were turbo.

GD-bugeyes had NA WRX sedans - models WRX NA and WRX NB.

just after you changed plugs? ign misfire of some sort check coils etc all bolted in happy and plugs are correct gap

or air leak causing fuel cut

clutch slip toooooooootally different to a misfire

[rex-leggy]

isnt boost cut 12psi or there abouts on wrx v1/2.

that could be hesitation

[NightKiss]

Boost cut is 11.97 I think needle stops at 11 for sure though I don\'t feel the clutch slipping although sometimes gears crunching. Going into 3rd

[Marky]

Didn\'t think of that

Don\'t put huge trust in a normal gauge to be thaaaat accurate to be honest, it could be just triggering boost cut I guess - does the ECU record a fault code for this if triggered? (Someone will know)

(off topic lol, the inside of a $20 autogauge and a $200 blitz gauge = identical haha)

[NightKiss]

I have a fault code 45 still while at idle no code showing when driving pretty sure its because 1 hose is still not installed but the boost solenoids all hooked up tried clearing I did y have the issue when I first reinstalled

Not stepper motor goodness.

Grr bloody phone and auto correct lol it didn\'t hesitate or burp when I first reinstalled the solenoid boosted nicely right to rev limit which is 7 I will be intalling new plugs this afternoon the plugs recommended are they the -11s from like supercheap?

[pedro]

Hi..Does it only hesitate on wide open throttle,foot to the floor?

[NightKiss]

Yep foot to the floor happens at full boost around 5 1/2 6k rev

[Marky]

I would be looking towards spark misfire before anything else

There\'s a few things which can be at fault but it\'s the most common and easiest to rule out quickly - especially if it\'s only a full boost / high load condition (and you\'re doing plugs anyway haha)

U will need to regap them to.7-.8

Don\'t run 1.1 as it\'s too big for wrx
