ZFR6F-11 One step colder

ZFR7F-11 Two steps colder


I had a Y8 and I used the stock plugs which are the ZFR5F-11 with stock gap and I ran fine but do what you want.

R5671A-8 or 9,

short reach, less likely the ground strap will melt.

stock gap is 1.0-1.1mm, .040"-.044"

the ground strap it the little piece of metal that goes from the side of the plug towards the tip, where you check the gap at.

Extended nose plugs, like factory plugs, have a longer ground strap, takes heat longer to disapate, there forethey melt easier.
