Only if you have tiny turbos.

 

You must be on something LOL. Send over whatever your on HAHA

 

The labor times that people come up with to do stuff on the forums is just so ridiculous.

 

Well if you want it done half *** or done right.

 

plugs and coils. i do mine every year. plugs more frequently.

 

I'm glad someone started this thread. When i put on my Alpha 28s a couple months ago I didn't change the plugs because they only had about 6K miles on them.
Now I am getting the exact same symptoms you described (OP). During WOT pulls I am getting a slight misfire, and during warm up/idle it is more unsteady than usual. I'm using my 100octane file and only kissing 1.4 bar at most. I guess it's time to do another logging run and some fun maintenance.

 

Really? Sorry for tryiing to help. Congrats on paying someone $800 for a 2 hour job. Obviously you guys have never worked on your cars. I changed my plugs every 4000 miles of a 3 year ownership. It's some screws and a couple hose clamps to get there. Sorry you think I'm full of sh*t. I"m not made of money and do my own work.

 

it takes me 1.5hrs to do plugs without a lift and an hour on the lift without drinking and an extra hour if i drinnk and take smoke breaks.

 

Why do u change your plugs every 4k? Atleast wsit 12
to 15k

 

Exactly..thanks Mark...I was just trying to help inform people that it can be done.....save people a couple bucks. Good luck to all on this horribly difficult job...that takes soooo much time...

I think JohnD posted years ago that it only takes an hour or so to do it too...

 

because racecar and because car runs smoother and because we can in 1.5 hours. why not?

Ill do it for 800$ and make it las as long as you want ....anytime tho !

 

Well, not to start another keyboard fist fight, but when you run much higher than stock boost, you tend to wear plugs out sooner. Rather than wait until you are misfiring, at an inopportune time. I just take the initiative to change mine, as it isn't a tough job, and NGK plugs are cheap. Just my .02...been doin this a long time...

 

I was gonna say that, but I don't want a line of cars in my driveway...wifey would be pissed...

 

12-15k. Lol. I think I get maybe 300 (three hundred) miles out of a set of plugs if I'm on straight C16.

 

That's good to know...
