What do you think (or know)?
Does using NGK B8ES instead of BR8ES will give more powerful spark and will advance ignition timing? I have a stock 97' GTI with 720 single carb motor and using 91 octane gasoline with Blenzal castor oil, 40:1.
Differences between both is that the BR8ES is a resistor type, and the B8ES not. The resistor of the plug is intended to eliminate electrical noise which can cause problem and distortion with electronics and radio frequency like AM, etc.
By common knowledge of what a resistor is, I can assume that without the resistor there will be higher voltage and current at the tip of the spark plug, resulting in more powerful spark and a bit of advanced timing.
At weekend I use B8ES instead of BR8ES (because a friend give me those) and the ski feels to be running better and with more power (when compared to new BR8ES).
Any "ignition guru" or any other welcome to comment and discuss.
