Thats why u are breaking up at teh track.

BRK7E(-11s) gapped between 0.032"-0.028"

That will suit most engines boosted upto 20psi. If u cant get spark, you ingition setup isnt upto scratch.

These are a single stage colder, because in Australia the 6E is the stock plug. In america, its a 5E. So thats why americans say "two stage colder" for FI.

been reading that around .020" -.030" gap is ideal for FI, what are you guys running?

Usually you step "up" 1 cooler. Stock ignition gap is usually between 0.8mm -1.0mm, but up to tunner.

Well sort of...
You were probably alseep when they were re-gapped to 0.8mm (0.032")
If you are having missfire from the plugs, pull em out & check 'em.
The gap may have eroded & increased, as from memory they were only $5 plugs in it.

I might have missed ya doing that Adrian lol they were whatever Hannys use.

Na I'm not have any missfire that I know off.

I am having a weird problem where my car just stops mid run... then goes back to normal afterwards

I thinks its just the stock map sensor as my boost creeps off 11psi maybe?
