they look like they would be ok but i have seen diamond e3 plugs make about the same power for alot less money

[cvc7chris]

more torque huh

someone buy em and try em

[sc2dave]

i had them on a motorcycle once and they were garbage. sometimes the bike would not start if i had them on. Once i would take them off, it would start. All they are is a capacitor inside.Just get an msd box and you'll have better results.

[MadSpleen85]

Never heard of them...

I did notice their DYNO sheet CLAIMS they are getting results on a H22

sounds a bit fishy to me! i will just stick with the ones i know about

"Before you invest in cold air
intakes, exhaust headers, nitrous
or cat-back exhaust, plug in some
REAL POWER WITH DIRECTHITS. "




An ignition upgrade will generate minimal gains at best on our cars... and that's for a REAL ignition upgrade, like something from MSD. These things can't be good... and the fact that they're so adamant about telling us how great they are makes me believe that even more.

The best spark plugs we can get are NGK Irridium IX.

[PUMASTi]

They advertise so well I almost bought a set there reading.

[deevergote]

It's easy to make it sound good. MORE SPARK! MORE POWER!


For a heavily modified engine, it IS important to have a more powerful spark. However, fancy plugs won't do the trick. This is the same sort of idea as the Nology Hotwires that were selling for $150 a set.

Aren't these similar to the Pulstar plugs?

[deevergote]

Probably the same thing.

The pulsar plugs don't even make thet much sense.


Reading this article It shows that the pulsars dont help untill after 3250+ rpm and are good for like 5-10 HP/TQ.

But the dyno also shows a 5 HP/TQ LOSS at 2750 rpm and who knows below that... since the dyno dosen't pick it up that low...

Maybe good If you are in the high RPM's a lot such as in a track car, (they don't even reccomend it for modified motors!) but not for your daily driver where you are usualy only around 3000 RPM...

A waste of money If you will be spending $25 for four of them ($25x4=$100...)

Get yourself a generic CAI and a p12 ecu for that price.

Reading Direct hits FAQ...

Question: What do I need to install DirectHits?

Answer: You will need the normal tools associated with changing your spark plugs, and you must reset the computer once the system is installed. If you have any questions call the DirectHits technical support number for assistance at (888) 800-6700

$5 says not only the placebo effect, but the fact they want you to reset the ecu to reset the saved map makes it seem more powerful for a little while.


Question: Does DirectHits interfere with my other bolt-ons like a cool air intake, turbo/super charging, nitrous, exhaust, etc?

Answer: No. But, DirectHits can augment their performance.

Augment?

Those seem strange. there isn't a spark plug of any type that will give you that much more power. unless you're running 500 hp h22 wit stock plugs and then u upgrade to the next stage or these. but runnin stokers in a turboed motor is stupid neway,

[VTS]

Honda recommend NGK...
I think NGK Iridium - made in japan - its a best for CB7
