i'm notrunning protruded plugs, I'mrunning BR8ES IIRC, but something tells me I asked for 7's last time but idon't think they had them. these plugs are fouled and shot from having WAY too righ a mixture when ifirst put the 1600's in and flooded the engine a few times anyway, i'm sure fresh plugs will cure it.
I justmiss running the MSD becausei could gap the plugs at .028" and still run 30psi, now on stock coils ihave to gap themdown to like .019:
I've been having boostcontrol issues, the MBC iwas using either let mebe at 25psi or WAY over30psi(not good )
So today i took industrial solenoid and played with different ways of setting up it's 3 ports to work with my pro-fecB. HOpe todosome testing tonight.
One thing i must say is this thing even at only spring pressure of 21 psi,it's a damn monster breaking tires loose all over,and getting WELL past the 60MPH roadsIwasmerging onto before i could even think tomy self :hey i'mgoing too fast"
I found my oil leak at the turbo..THe Set screw I used toseal off one end of the double male pipe threaded T(has female in center where i put the feed) well that screw is leaking under higher oil pressure: (looks like nexttimeit's out I either replace it with a regular copper male tofemale 90* coupler or weld over the area with the set Scrrew.
Either way it doesn't leakfast, just annoyingly so. And iwill get it fixed soon(wish I could rech the TIGdown in there )
UPDATE: Bought some BR7ES plugs tonight
but i decided to go back to side gapping and see if it would helpon an OEM ignition
I have bpr9es at .018" in my car it was the only way I could get over 32lbs without blowout I also have 1600s
