i installed my zex kit and got colder plugs (ngk bkr7e) and i've had the plugs in for maybe 2-3 days , i havent shot nitrous yet but i was about to for the 1st time and i was checking them before and was gona check them after a quik run, but i need somone to tell me if my plugs look ok because theres white on the matel thing over the point. its not crusty or anything but im not sure if its ok.. this picture is of the plugs after 2 days , havent shot nitrous yet.

96 prelude S f22

 

Normal

 

i would say they look okay, i would be more interested in a pic after you spray

 

bright white specks mean detonation, but I it's hard to tell from that pic.

 

hard to tell from the glare. but looks a little on the lean side.

 

doesnt detonation only happen with nitrous? havent shot any yet. so should i go ahead and shoot with them lookin like this? new to nitrous - dont wana wreck my engine.


can anyone give a quik explaination of how to check/ adjust ignition timing? this is what i need to do right? sorry this is how i learn stuff.



update(cant post more than 5 a day when trail user) shot the 55 shot for a quik run, plugs look the same, actually i only checked the 1st one.. has anyone had problems making a good thread in there intake for the nozzle? i've made 2 holes had to cover the 1st one.. no matter what i do the hole is to loose and seems almost stripped no matter how carefully i make it/tap it and screw it in, my aem intake is so thin it makes it hard... i think i need a larger fitting i can screw the nozzle into in the intake. anyone done this?

you're running very hot. but your af ratio looks okay

 

how do i not run as hot? also how do i retard my ignition a degree or 2 so i can run higher shot?
when i hit open throttle with the 55jets in i didnt notice a huge difference tourqe<(cant spell) and speed, is that normal? i noticed clear liquid on my nozzle and its a little loose, cause its ****** hard to make good threads in my intake so i got a new fitting today that my nozzle will screw into to make a bigger wider threaded hole, hope it helps...

 

help

 

to retard the timing you probably need an ignition system like an MSD digital 6.

make sure you don't have leaks in your lines. and there are certain variables that affects the power output from the nitrous... like the bottle pressure and the quality of the nitrous.

running hot is okay as long as your not running too lean. but use common sense when using nitrous.
-don't spray for longer than 15 seconds continuously at a time.
-don't spray if your rpms are below 3000.

honda's natuerally run on the lean side when street driven... so IMO that looks very normal

 

i'm aware of that. but from the angle of the first pic i couldn't tell if it had white "blotches" which would signal detonation or not.

 

heres what the plugs look like after a few shots with 55jets. everything look ok?


is it normal to get condensation on the nitrous fitting on the nozzle? i dont think its leaking but theres a little clear liquid on it.. thanks for all your advice/help

 

 

Condensation is normal. Remember you're shooting a liquid gas in there and it's going to get very cold when it boils off. So your nozzle is going to get cold too. Perfectly normal. Your plugs look fine too.
