Looks good to me. Maybe just a hair on the lean side.

 

my plugs look JUST like that.

How's your car running? Any new dyno numbers?

 

what are you looking for?

if you want to know how your cars fueling/tuning is,
then you have to run it full throttle through some gears and tun off the car
at the top of your rpm band.

coast to the side of the road and pull the plugs.
only then will you get an accurate reading,

otherwise you get all sorts of buildup from idling and partial throttle driving,
it can tell you something about how that is going? for gas mileage purposes I suppose..

but really.. that is NOT how to read plugs(most ppl dont know how)

 

Plugs look fine...

I can't get enough of that candy paint job!

Candy paint + built turbo d = one of my fav's

 

I'm a sucker for nice paint too

 

Maybe a tad lean but not bad at all

 

nice cars

 

damn..... you buddies have sick *** ridez.....
Hey The TRUCK TuRBOCharGed too??? hahah jk

 

They look a hair lean but, no signs of detonation

well youre on the right track!


you CANNOT read the plugs from the pics you are showing us, you need to look on the bacside of the threaded part, all the way down at the bottom, inside of the plug. THIS IS WHERE YOU READ PLUGS FROM, NOT THE ELECTRODE, OR CERAMIC, the combustion doesnt really have any affect, or take place there, it happens at the bottom inside the plug.

take a flashlight and look down into the plug, if you want to see. yes many charts at "autozone" show you some plug conditions, or situations but thats all they are, not meant for performance issues.

my buddy has the same evo with the same hood actually...any way he was woundering what kind of rims those were.

Thats pretty much what I did, Although I did let it turbo time for 30 seconds.

Thanks for the compliments. The reason I did this was because my car was misfiring at high RPM today, so I pulled the plugs to check the gap and decided to snap a few pics of the electrodes..... After I re-gapped it was still misfiring,

letting it turbo time was a mistake. I know you want to save your turbo and all, but if you are reading the plugs you have to shut the car down right at the top of the rpm band like he said and then coast to the side.

Also what heatrange plugs are you using? Was it abnormally warm outside today? You could be running richer than normal and this is causing you to misfire in the higher rpms. Its happened to me before before I tuned my car. It got warm and my car would start sputtering and **** in the high rpms around 6800..almost like an early fuel cut. I hooked the wideband up and tuned it...then after that it ran great.

 

Im not sure what it is.

My alternator just took a **** before this, so maybe the now increased voltage is causing a over rich condition at the high end

 

Have you hooked a wideband up to check it out?

 

I had it on a wideband just recently and everything was perfect. It hasnt been misfiring today. I bought a new cap and rotor that Im gonna install tommorow, and if it still does it I'm going to gap the plugs closer to like .027 instead of .0295

 

i would give it some more fuel
