gapped to .75mm

adam,

If the car has been running rich then they will be blackish in appearence. Good burn is light brown. lean is going towards white blisters on the electrodes.

[adam 32]

yeh but it was running rich the whole time apart from the 15-20mins on the dyno

will the sparkies show this small amount of lean-running

[rev210]

adam,

I have had the same plug and gap in mine and all I can say is that it is the right setup for a 10psi stock turbo without a S-afc and without a HKS cam gear. I am running BCPR7ES-11's at the moment and they are an improvement.

In your case I reckon 7's gapped to 0.8mm to start with maybe even a set of 8's to let rip with 18+psi and 8000rpm.

[adam 32]

yeh... might be worth a try

altho the colder the heat range the easier they foul, and hard on cold starts right

[rev210]

adam,

Checking the plugs is really about finding say one plug running lean when the others are all running rich. This would indicate a problem that might be a blocked injector,valve, or water leak (due to head leakage).

[rev210]

You balance the heat range with a suitable plug gap. I would imagine you would give a small number of 5000rpm+ spurts during a day, enought to keep them clean.
