mattyD Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 i could be wrong but it looks to me like you might be running lean, i know white tips means lean Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 ill leave it for a bit and check the new ones in a week ive got heat range 7's in there now dont no what the others were as they were already in the car i want my wideband so i can keep an eye on things lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DavidAshton Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Doesn't it all depend on what the car was doing before you last turned it off?If you let it idle for 10 mins then took them out dont they look different to if it had just been boosted for 10 mins?Sure I read that somewhere but may have just made it up not too sure?

ttestarlet Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 too hot mate, ct9 becomes a heat exchanger at a bar its no good. turn the boost down to .8 is the easiest solution Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Here you go here are my plugs on a CT9 turbo running 1bar of boostAs you can see they are a tan brown colour, yours are brownish but slightly white so looks like its running a bit to hot, get it on a RR or buy a wideband air/fuel sensor and get it checked. Last thing you want it to melt something and knacker your engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 i cant turn my boost down its a bar all the time jam actuator im in the group by for the wideband so i can check it once i get that and get it fitted :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 cool, yeah I am in that group buy too Just avoid booting it at full boost for long periods, i.e going down the motorway flat out kinda thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 dam it i like my boost lol i dont do alot of motorway driving anyway just a bit of town boosting really ill see what these heat range 7's are like in a week or so :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
