NGK Plug
 
Good day everyone... Does anyone know if a NGK Spark Plug exists that is the same as the NGK R5673-8, but in a Resistor plug? They are for 6X heads, and need to be 5/8" wrench, .460" reach, tapered seat, perferably "Non-Projected" tip. The engine is a 461 with a single SXE480 billet turbo making maybe 800+hp with 10-15 lbs of boost. 100% street car on pump gas. I will be running the Holley XFlow 1375 EFI, and it recommends "Resistor" plugs to keep RFI problems in check. I think the heat range of the R5673-8 would work great for me, but I need it to be a "Resistor" plug. Anybody have a recommendation for a part number? Thank You

Subscribed, cause I'm having trouble finding non projected tip, resistor NGK's as well. Different application though... Hope you find what your looking for.

This will help, but I'm not sure you'll find non projected tip...

Thank You. I'm actually starting to lean more towards a "projected tip" plug for this application, since it is street driven. I have came to that conclusion after reading a comment over on one of the turbo forums, where a NGK Tech had responded and explained that, even with boost, it is better to run the projected tip in a street application, since it keeps the tip of the plug burned cleaner, keeping it from fouling. The coldest "Resistor" plug I can come up with in the NGK, with a tapered seat, .460" reach, 5/8" wrench is the NGK UR6(7773 Stock Number)plugs. The NGK Tech says it is 2 steps colder than stock Heat range, so that should work for me. I have since read quite a few people using them with great results in Street boosted applications as well. Anyone see any problems with the UR6 plug in this application?

I guess NGK tech is saying a "4" heat range would've been stock? I run a "6" heat range (BKR6E, for an edelbrock head) normally aspirated. And I don't disagree with the projected tip for normal driving. Mine are as well. But I was hoping to find a non to try as well. Same deal as you, electronics that won't tolerate noise.

I use the extended or projected electrode in all my 2-stroke MX bikes since the '70's. High revving 2-strokes are brutal on plugs.
The electrode actually runs cooler as it is the the direct path of the air/fuel mixture, as opposed to the "shrouded" (regular) electrode.
Another advantage is more efficient burn with the electrode extended further in the combustion chamber.
