7 psi, 4-5deg base retard, mid 11 afr. sorry about the lighting i was using my camcorder and couldnt tell what i was shooting.

 

oh yea so what do you guys think

 

I don't see anything wrong?

 

shouldn't they be a little darker?
you wanna run lean if your boosting right?

 

yea if you want your motor to blow...replace that statment with the word rich and yur good to go......u want to be a lil rich with boost lil extra fuel always helps

on me that's what i mean't to say, darker=richer

 

plugs look good man...how many kilometers/miles do u have on them??

 

I was thinking they look a little lean, maybe those specs are detonation? I listen for detonation like a paranoid crackhead and I couldnt hear any but my car is so loud its hard to tell.

I dont feel confident in my plug reading skills, can anyone else comment. thanks

I have drove on them for less than a week. I have only hit full boost and held it to redline less than 5 times. Those pictures are after a 4th gear pull to 6500 and then turning the car off.

 

those plugs look brand new man.

but yeah, if you are boosting,
rich is good. But personally I would MUCH MUCH MUCH rather gauge that using a proper measuring device, like a wideband o2 sensor, than by looking at the color of my spark plugs.

the plugs look in good condition, and thats what matters.

 

wb was reading mid 11s, egt was about 1450.

 

i think miss cleo is talking about ur butt plugs haha.. jk.

Those plugs look pretty damm awsome IMO. I'd like to see a little more brown on the center insulator but that may very well be the lighting. The ground strap doesen't look like its getting hot or anything however. It kinda looks like you pulled off the highway and parked the car. Some hondas seem to like to run quite lean on the highway, possibly for lower emissions and gas milage.

The threads look to be darkened 2-3 rings up. This indicated a good heat range for overall driveability. Typically one shoots to darken the first two threads and when you start darkening the third you may want to try a colder plug and see how that works out. I really don't like to see more than 4 threads darkened, that is much too hot in my opinion.

You can't really tell if you are running lean in boost or detonating in boost unless the plugs were pulled right after a strong pull. This is this bad for your turbo (should let it cool down). Your a/f ratio means that you have plenty of fuel. Your EGT are good, but timing plays a major role in that.

Everything looks good. Just curious, what is your timing at under boost from 4000rpm's to redline?

 

those plugs look great. I always look at the plugs like a psycho too.

That and I do compression tests after EVERY time I drive. I get SOOOO paranoid lol. I know exactly what you mean. 175-180 across all 4

i have the same paranoia, just don't go to the extreme of actually doing the compression check oh ya, the plugs look pretty normal .

 

The location of the 'color' on the ground strap is determined by ignition timing.

Those plugs look fine to me...

 

Thanks guys

edit: Im just scared cause this is the same fuel setup that I was using when I spun a bearing. The motor was very old and abused though.

 

get ngk7s they disapate heat better.. are those 6s?

Here's mine. (20psi + 50 shot + lots of timing )

 

KrautFed, those plugs look AWSOME! Doubt you have things working great. I'll try to get some pics up of my eclipse at 25 psi with 5K on the plugs, pump gas as well.
