Default Spark Plugs

What plugs do people use that they are using Nitrous with? I know they are a colder one but I want the exact model number please. What effect does it have on the car when you are not using the Nitrous? Cause my kit is mainly for looks but I want to be able to use it also if I want.

Should be fine and not even notice any difference...except maybe just a tad worse gas mileage...but even that wouldn't be much to even notice.

Got it. Yeah, most would have them.

I sent the ECU pinout, but I didn't have the other file here. Greddy might have that decription. It is the Greddy Ultimate pinout. Also, what shot do you plan on running?

adding 30-40+HP is not a problem for your engine, it would be similiar as to putting a TRD SC or ZPI stage 0 TC....<--- those 2 do not really need any engine mods...

adding 50+ will definant blow your engine, since it cant handle it. that would be similar to a stage 1 or 2 turbo, which includes an intercooler etc.

Now why don't you think the tC can handle a 50-shot? The Stage 0 you listed adds almost double that without an intercooler. Nitrous also cools the air tremedously, much cooler than what an intercooler can provide. Saying a 50-shot+ will definitely blow your engine is just wrong.

I have heard that 35-50 would be no issue for the cars what so ever. Didnt ZPI run 125 for a while till it blew? I think a 50 would be more then fine for the car. I will start with the 35 till it gets boring and then go to the 50.

The engine on the ZPI car was fine, it's the same engine that was in their 12.1 sec turbo car. What they blew was the intake manifold, which on our cars is made of plastic as you know.

I like the densos as well. Go grab a set and have fun man, and don't worry about a 50shot, it will be just fine as long as you use it properly
