VR Turbo - plugs & external fuel pressure regulator (where?)

[david_h 0]

I currently have the schimmel short runner intake on my car with an adjustable Eurospec fuel pressure regulator fitted, This means fuel doesn't cycle into one end of the fuel rail and out the other end.

I need to go back to an external fuel pressure regulator, can anyone tell me what one I need and where to get one from?

Also what are the best plugs for a VRT, and what gap do I need to space them to. I have problems with hot starting with my existing plugs. I have a feeling they are heavily coked up from when the car ran really rich.

Any help as to where to buy the plugs & fuel pressure regulator would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I use these with "out of the box gap" - http://www.spturboparts.com/aftermarket/ViewDetails.aspx?prod=16209

You can also use standard BKR7E plugs, but I prefer the colder non-projected core in VRT applications.

Fuel Reg - I use a 3 port SX regulator on my Schimmel intake. It's by far the most stable and accurate one out there.

Sparkplugs.co.uk can supply the plugs and I don't know of any UK suppliers of SX kit. Aeromotive is a clone alternative though, which some UK places sell.

Which one of these plugs would you recommend?

Standard Part (may be Copper, Platinum or OEM Iridium)

Iridium IX Part

On a standard engine I would probably use the BKR5EIX.
