RB Products CP-02 No.8 Turbo Plug
RBC01051-8
RB Products CP-02 No.8 Turbo Plug (RBC01051-8) for RC nitro engines, hot heat range with reinforced filament for aggressive high-RPM tuning, superior detonation resistance, and maximum top-end power in .12 to .21cc+ competition setups.
The 1050 range of plugs is a hotter set og plug, while the 1051 is a colder range of plugs, which affects engine performance depending on the application.
How to choose
The right glow plug for your RC engine depends on several factors, including the nitro percentage of your fuel, the engine's compression, and the ambient temperature.
RB 1050 Turbo glow plug, as a hotter plug, the RB 1050 Turbo is suitable for:
Lower nitro fuel percentages: A hotter plug helps to ignite fuel with a lower nitro content more effectively.
Engines with low compression: The increased heat from a hotter plug is beneficial for engines with lower compression.
Cooler weather: Hotter plugs are often recommended for use in colder ambient temperatures.
RBC 1051 Turbo glow plug, as a colder plug, the RB 1051 Turbo is a better choice for:
Higher nitro fuel percentages: For fuel with a higher nitro content, a colder plug helps prevent pre-ignition.
Engines with high compression: A colder plug is suitable for high-compression engines to prevent detonation.
Warmer weather: A colder plug is better suited for warmer ambient temperatures, where the engine runs hotter on its own.
Glow plug heat ranges explained:
The heat range of a glow plug determines when the fuel and air mixture ignites in the combustion chamber.
Hot plugs: Ignite the fuel/air mixture earlier in the combustion cycle. If too hot, it can cause the mixture to fire too early, damaging the engine and plug.
Cold plugs: Ignite the fuel/air mixture later in the combustion cycle. If too cold, it can lead to lower power output.
