Re: (jDMJeRk)
plugs look good i see no signs of detonation on the inside of the plug. especially if it shut off during boost that would be the best read anyway. i say your having a fuel cut issue somewhere. or going into limp mode or a blown plug maybe......gap?

Re: (HybridcivicLS-T)
If the engine was hitting some type of fuel cut then the plugs would show detonation from leaning out. What type of tuning system are you running? Also, Do you have any A/R readings?

Re: (drift2004)
That gap seems a little too tight. What is the gap exactly? Also your ground electrode shouldn't be that white. The blackness on the ground should be closer to the midpoint. Your blackness is close to the threads. Maybe it's the pictures that make it seem that way.

i'd prolly retard the timing a little bit. Looks to me that the ground strap is getting burnt almost to the base of the plug.
what plug gap are you running?

get that gap down to around .020". also the last plug in the pic looks a little richer than the others, but i definately dont see any detonation signs. id hope you are at least running a 7 or 8 heat range on the plugs
