Curious to know what people think of my plugs. They don't look as good as the set they replaced 15000km ago. The last set had a nice even colouring. I think I might be getting or at some point have had some inaudible detonation.

The plugs have come out slightly creamier in pics than in real life. Where you can see the ceramic it's actually alot whiter.

The plugs 1, 2, 4 and 6 have a white streak about 3mm wide down the side of the nose insulator, the plugs 2, 5 and 6 have a green tinge on the electrode.

Plugs are unmodified BCPR6ES-11

They are perfectly normal :yes:

edit. will add look old so need replacing but to me they look good.

perhaps 2, 5, 6 may have some minor lead (coil) issue but would like to know the age of the plugs first.

Personally I would not be overly worried.

colour of the ceramic has little to do with det and more to do with overall mixture. Unless you hot shut down your car after a dyno pull or track run, every cycle will change it there after.

If you want to look at det you need to look at the strap under magnification

Not sure about the green, but the green ones are slightly leaner so you can either try richening those cylinders up of leaning off the other ones. sand blast or soak in upper engine cleaner and put them back in if you don't want to do that to your new plugs

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
