Always informative VW informative as always
Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Good work my friend! Happy Holidays!
Thanks Tommie, always tinkering ya know!! Lol
I'll be doing this next spring. Thanks!
I'm always doing those spring tune ups.
Calendar 2024.
Hey Jason how's things going man. I'm trialling a new plug in Betsy at the moment.
Brisk spark plugs-Silver. B10-S. Not sold on these yet. I'll see how they go over Christmas.
So you and your boys have a great Christmas and thankyou for the videos you've shared throughout 2023.
✌️ Peace.
Thanks Kevin, hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! As always appreciate the support brother!
Calander 2024 baby!
Got ya Gary!!
@@JWClassicVW wishing you and the boys a merry Christmas brother!
Merry Christmas to you man and a happpppppy New Year!
Calendar 2024 👍
Got you in the drawing!
Hi Jason enjoy your program far far away from South Africa
Thanks for the support!
Hey bro the sparkplug tip are you using is longer than standard it is ok to use the same standard engine with longer tip pkugs
Mind the gap. Calendar 2024
I looked it up... R means Resistor... hmmmm I might not want those. Lol
you might want to stay with resistor plugs, it is for radio interference and MAYBE could mess with all that fancy EFI electronics. 2024 calendar - and could save you on shipping and pick it up!

Your in the drawing!
Check and make sure ya don't have weak ignition
I've been thinking about replacing the coils as they are used and who knows the age.
Air and fuel are an insulator the more that’s in there the harder it is for the spark to arc
For sure... might need to swap out to a non resistor plug to get a hotter spark when in my higher boost.
1. never use bosch platnum in an air cooled VW. they foul out. 2 I never regap spark plugs. I just make sure they are all the same. usually around .26ish anyway. When you regap them usually you have the electrode out of square and that makes it fire worse. On High energy spark systems I would run them at .40 its about that simple. None of this stuff is in the books and the books didnt have the same fuels and ignition systems we have now.
Thanks for the tips!
@@JWClassicVW I cant tel you anything about iridiums on a vw. but they might not work either. unless you have really high voltage on spark. Even then with air cooled temps I just dont know.
Me either brother, it's all about the learning.
I run a svda with an electronic ignition. Some recommend increasing my gap from 28 to 32 on up to 36. And i can't do anything above 28. She just doesn't like it. But i did just try a different plug so maybe I'll give that another shot.
I wouldn't go above 28... not on an NA engine if that's what your running.
@@JWClassicVW they suggest it because of the electronic ignition. But it's just that empi points replacement.
I'm currently saving up for that pat downs setup. So we'll see after that.
That is a nice setup!
i use ND u-groove spark plugs with good results. i dont think iridium electrodes are meant to be re-gapped.
and i need a 2024 calendar!!
I'll need to look at those, I have a couple sets of NGK plugs that are non resistor that are pretty hott. Might try those.
Hey JW ! I got to get outside and replace the left rear brake cylinder . The right one blew a month ago and Sunday I went to HF and was backing up and NO-BRAKES . It dumped all the fluid out in the parking lot . On the parts box it says always replace in pairs . I guess so . Heck the olds ones costed 7.49 $ each now 17,99 each ?
Prices have changed so much... it's crazy.
Calendar.
Got you in the drawing!! Appreciate the support!!
How much boost if more than 12 lbs I run .020 gap
Max boost right now is around 21psi
👏👏👏👏
Thanks man... may switch them out... lord knows I've got a few options laying around here.
@@JWClassicVW you definitely have a rare bird there. Looks great but end of day it's very complicated system you have there....
@type4revolutionstudio very true... just gotta play with her to find the sweet spot.
30-32 should be good..I would never use iridums in an air-cooled motor
Why not... got me curious?
@@JWClassicVW the old man always told me that. Save them for the water-cooled fast and furious folks.Heat range for one and and a strong ignition with proper gaps and proper mixtures at boost. It's fine line in your case. I couldn't tell view of plug but I would guess it looks rich. Don't remember what coil packs your using but probably losing some through those plugs. If it's HEI try a plug used by cbp for that . My two cents. If I'm making sense. IRDs seem a little to modern and I never use platinum plugs they foul to easy
