look good to me, the electrodes are clean.
and i'm use to seeing plugs from a 2 stroke engine.
you can only imagine what those things look like after the fact
drive on

yea, they look lean, you want a brownish color, i couldnt imagine a stock cx ecu running a gsr motor right, fuel etc is different, just my thought

i'd worry about getting the correct ECU before i worry about anything else.hopefully you're not running the car hard with this ECU?

Injector size and fuel pressure don't matter if your injectors aren't cycling at the right rate and providing enough fuel, get the right ecu and it will fix the problem.

Well, stock cars will generally have slightly white plugs but yes these plugs are showing a slightly more lean condition than your engine should be running at. Like I said get the right ECU and you problem should be solved.

Re: (stock93cx)
you need to get the right ECU first-it's gonna have a totally different fuel map than what you currently have.you're trying to tune a car that has the compeltely wrong ECU that isn't even remotely intended to run the engine you have.
