Gaz Walker Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Chris, What boost were you running - did it 'miss' or anything odd? The IK24s are ideal for your setup, full de-cat, FMIC and boost controller? Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 before the new plugs were put it i generally had the boost controller switched off, and it was running on average at 1.2 bar, with the new plugs in it felt really slow, so i put it on chanel 4 which took it up to 1.4ish bar and it really didnt feel as quick as before, is there a settle in period at all? or do they need to warm up before they work to their full potential?

Gaz Walker Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 That is strange. Are you sure they are all installed correctly, your not running on 5 cylinders or something! They come pre-gapped so that shouldn't be a problem. I doubt you have a defective plug but I will replace any that are damaged etc. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I've got the exact same plugs on my UK Auto and they didn't cause me any problems - are you sure you didn't put them in upside down? Might be worth having a look at them all to check they are still gapped the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 might take them back out at the weekend, and make sure they look ok, sure the plugs are fine gaz do the figures from the powermeter sound about right for my mods, does anyone know? Full decat, Blitz nurspec, blitz sus induction, sbcidIII and powermeter, greddy fmic not upside down either, i did them all while stood up Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
