Just a quick update: Changed out my rad for a nice high capacity (in import terms :p) aluminum rad and the car runs much cooler than before. Ran the nitrous again today for a couple of full 3rd-4th gear pulls (maybe 10sec at a time) and the plugs are much better looking now. A touch of peppering tha...

I've run a lot of different batteries and the Odyssey's are my favorite. Small and lightweight....and the quality is excellent.

Tune hasn't changed from the last pictures. I'll pull a bit more timing from it and see what happens. I'm running 94 octane fuel...is there an additive worth buying? Its the highest octane fuel I can get here. Plugs are one heat range colder...I have to special order anything colder than these (NGKB...

Went out again today. Everything is the same as last time but I ran the nitrous a few more times than last. Pulled the plugs and the next pics are of the #4 (farthest from the TB) plug. This one is the worst as far as the black on the insulator. I cut the threads off for you guys to get a better loo...

I'll have to see about the better fuel. Best we have here is Sunoco94. Maybe some sort of octane booster will help. I do plan on upping the fuel pressure a touch to help though. Plans call for a Mastermind and 100-125hp shot so I want it to be perfect. I mean hey...its a Swift...nobody will see it c...

Hi guys...so glad to find a forum that discusses nitroused plugs. Already spoke to John a bit about this so I'll just quote the emails so far... I realize that you guys are all running high power engines that are well beyond the scope of my little 1.3 liter but I was wondering if you may have some i...
