Glow plug ??
Just wondering wehter this is normal. I placed a novarossi med plug #4 in my hyper 7 with .21 eng, after about 3/4 tank plug went bad! I did notice plug was wet, therefore running rich. Does this sound normal??
thanx |
RE: Glow plug ??
Is that plug supposed to work in the engine? buy plugs your manual says to use ask people what plugs are for your engine. Is is a turbo engine?
Sometimes plugs are duds. It's happened to me a couple times where a plug just didn't work right. |
RE: Glow plug ??
Plugs can last months or minutes. Try another one and if it goes bad right away, then you've got a problem somewhere. Like you said, it could be running too rich a fouling the plug...

STAY AWAY FROM NOVA PLUGS!! they are junk, nova engines are one of the best but their plugs are no good. get an OS #8 plug, thats what i ran in mine and i would get almost 2 gallons on one plug.

Good Tip.I switched from rb plugs that lasted 1 1/2 gal.To nova and lasted 2 mins.

Guys, running rich does nothing to your engine... Or i would have killed 8 expensive os turbo plugs breaking my gx5r in

RE: Glow plug ??
ok, I got myself a OS med #8, and the car runs like a beauty!! Thanks for the input guys!!
Just one more question. After putting in the OS, I noticed that the plug was forming little brown spots on the bottom were the coil is (not on the coil) what is this/is this normal?? thanks |
RE: Glow plug ??
Exactly what engine are you running? If it's an OFNA engine, I believe these are PICCO based engines and should ideally use a PICCO plug.
I've read in a previous thread that some plugs' threads are not compatible with some engines' threads. I.e: don't use an OS plug in a Jammin JPX .21 engine, use a PICCO plug. You have the possibility of stripping or re-threading the plug seat and won't be able to go back to PICCO plugs if you use the OS plugs. Also, using the wrong make of plug in a different engine effects detonation due to how the plug sits into the button head. I have personally seen this, again with a PICCO plug versus and OS plug in two different JPX21 heads. The PICCO sits absolutely perfectly flush, while the OS goes a bit beyond flush into the chamber...noticably so. This will effect performance. If you're just bashing and it works for you....I guess that's fine if you're happy. If you're racing and looking for every single edge you can find, using the right plug in the right engine is a must. Good luck |
