Chris Wiltshire Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Hello, Recently fitted HKS 5003-M40HL spark plugs and noticed that the gap on these is quite a bit smaller than the stock Denso ones and looking through different forums there seems to be a lot of mixed opinions on gap sizes. Im N/A tuned to 332WHP and after having a good drive it seems to have made a positive difference, would a smaller gap really make a difference on a car thats running about 50hp extra over stock?

Tricky-Ricky Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 You only really need a smaller gap when either the motor is running high compression and/or the motor is boosted, generally with modern ignition systems there is sufficient power to accommodate a reasonably large gap without loss, tired coil packs will likely reduce spark intensity, so running a smaller gap will likely restore the lost power, which I would suspect your noticing.

RobZed Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Sure this would be available from Nissan slip gauges at the ready.. From past experience even the pre adjusted ones need a small tweek Quote
