I guess the OEM's are fine then if most people run them. I would assume that one step colder plugs are used for big builds, with upgraded rods/pistons.

The stock plugs in the VHR are one step colder then from the DE motors (rev and non rev-up).

Hope this helps!

My STS kit came with plugs and you know I dont know if they were colder or not I'll have to check

More stealthy even though the core would be obvious lurking in the bumber to any enthusiast.

That can be coated as well...personally the route I'd go as well. Stealthy

Yesterday was fuel day. Got the OEM plenum off (very easy to do) and removed the fuel rails (also very easy task).

OEM fuel rails/injectors ready for the new 750cc injectors with pigtails:

A few minutes later, old injectors out and new ones in:

With the plenum off, it was a good time to add two ports to it. One will be for the waste gates, and the other will be used on the BOV's. Removing the TB is a must, because there will be a good amount of plastic on the inside to clean up form drilling/taping. The TB is also very easy to remove, just 4 allen head bolts and it is off.

The oil lines to the turbo, viewed from the passenger side wheel well. (wheel removed):

Then it was time to start putting things together for the final time...first pipe going to the turbo:

Then #2 goes in:

Followed by #3, inserted from the other side (header):

Clamps are on, ready for the turbo to go in:

With all the IC piping done under the car, it was time to move up top:

Driver side:

Passenger side:

All done:

Things to do:

-Plug'n play wire harness/relay for the scavenge pump (evening project)
-Fuel pump install (possibly today)
-Waste gate pluming/recirculation (x2 for the kit that stays behind)
-Go over everything and make sure it is good

Hope to get a base map for the 750cc injectors and UpRev soon, and then we start her up.

James was over (customer/owner) and said I can take my time, he is not in a hurry to get the car back any time soon.

It will be a while...

I just wanted to point out that the plugs you linked to are for VQ35HR engines. They are 1 step hotter than the VQ37VHR plugs. The correct plugs for VQ37VHR are: FXE24HR-11

Heat ranges:
VQ35DE = 16
VQ35HR = 22
VQ37VHR = 24
