Plugs Fowling And Running Waaaaay Rich

[dwest]

Ok I have checked fuel and I am getting it, checked Air and I am getting it, pulled the plugs today and despite them being 3 weeks old they are toast they look BAD!!! I have come to the conclusion that my plugs are wrong. I have the NGK IRIWAY 8 spark plugs. My motor is stock other then a headgasket, injectors, and a 3582R turbine boosting 1.5 bar. Car is tuned with a Power Fc and the tune is showing fine.

I have to crank the living crap out of the car to get it to start and when it does its blowing black soot all over the place even back fired but I am not seeing any knock on my knock meter its at like 5 knock which is fine.

The car reeks of fuel but the fuel pressure seems consistent, the fuel pump is active as well. I have to literally crank it and re jump my battery 2 times atleast before it starts which is not good. Do you think I need plugs? Oh and I know I need a battery now.

I am thinking I should tone down and go with 6's and trash the 8's.

What do you think?

BTW Motors an Rb25det

You need to get it tuned again.

The 8's are a little too high for your application but I doubt they are at fault.

Who tuned your PFC and what size injectors are you using?

[R31Nismoid]

Could be the tune, injectors etc.

Fuel reg, AFM

many things... it 'seeming' consistent, might not be

also i wouldnt waste my money on those plugs, coppers are fine

8's should be an ok heatrange for what your making but if they are too far gone to self clean throw in a fresh set of hotter plugs and see how they go

using coppers will make experimenting with heatrange a much cheaper exercise, always better to start too cold than too hot.

Alright thanks. I will try to get it started and have my tune rechecked.
