NGK PFR7G-11 is a good plug to use & you will need to set the gap at 0.7mm

The the 7g is a later design series to the 7b.

Interestingly, some people on here seem to have had problems with bad running/missfiring when using the 7b & have ended up going back to the 6b.

We were recommended the 7g by Prodrive back in the mid ninetys, for use in modded road cars & have never had a problem with it.

Interesting..

Looking at some NGK info on EK9.org (EK9.org: sent wrong spark plugs!!?), the G-11s use a "fine wire nickle alloy centre electrode". The b's are listed as "special design", so who knows what that means..?

The 11 means it's a wide gap (1.1mm) plug with the 7b's ~0.65mm (standard gap).

Might give them a try next change..

No you cannot get a PFR7G-8

You need to order a set of NGK PFR7G-11 & set the gap to 0.7mm
