pulstar plugs? Firestorm plugs?

[fenderninja]

Anybody heard of either of these? Im wondering if they are scams but everything seems pretty valid. Firestorm aren't on the market yet but they seem pretty appealing to me!

[zack_odom]

I dont see them working...
BUT, If someone put them on, and noticed a difference, or someone did some testing
like on a dyno or something...

All a spark plug does is make a spark... No need to make it complicated.

A spark ignites the fuel. Not too much you can improve on for that.

This reminds me of the Bosch 4+ plugs that everyone around me thinks helps them out. With the Bosch 4+ plugs, it still only goes to 1 ground strap for each spark so theres absolutely no need for 4 ground straps.

no true... first, its not a ground strap, it's a diode or electrode... and yes it does make a difference... it's about the resistance and spark output...along with the temp and output of the plug... the +4 is a shitty plug in the first place unless you're running a serious air-fuel ratio... that's why they burn up the rings in factory plugs... if you're looking for some quality plugs that I have found to make a slight difference in engine responsivness and a slight gas milage change look up a plug called an E3... best bang for your buck upgrade plug in my eyes

here's info for you on the e'3 s

first time i used them was in a ford probe gt v6 and ive been hooked ever since

I am currently using single electrode ND iridium plugs made as an upgrade for a 22RE, They have been in there for about 75kmi, and the electrodes are still fully intact and it has never had a noticable misfire. I think running a bigger coil or MSD box would be alot more helpful than some fancy pants spark plugs.

Show me some legit info and dyno numbers not from the manufacturer. We all know marketing.

Every few months on the s2000 forums this gets brought up and the person who does the dyno says there were no gains on it.

You do realize that the ground electrode is also called the ground strap right? kthnxbye.

There are far too many traps for the unwary consumer who wants to spend a few $ on his car, some data to back all this up should be easily available if it really works, but it's seldom anywhere to be seen.

[J3wman]

x2 i agree we need numbers

[zack_odom]

They dont exist.

i will say this much on spark plugs. i have ran a bit pricer plugs before and yes i did notice a differance but that differance might have been due to just needing to tune that s.... upbut i have seen plusars in inport tuner or d sport before and that was the magazine dyno testing them and they did prove that they did increase power on a 350z but this test might have been staged by the manufacture of the plug

[fenderninja]

still, the advertisements for both products seem legit. theyre expensive as hell but i wouldve never thought of using different spark plugs for better performance

[deevergote]

Spark plugs do not give a power increase. Period. As long as you have properly working plugs of the right type, they will do the job. You MIGHT see a 1hp increase by a more efficient spark.

If you're running a stock or near stock motor (as in, bolt on mods only) then there's no need to upgrade your ignition system in any way. Run quality components, such as NGK wires and plugs, and you'll be golden.

NGK is the only brand you should be running. Its recommended by honda and hondas are shipped from the factory with ngk's. NGK plugs and wires are good for more HP than you will ever make.

Good to know!

a-muthafucking-men.

I require my customers to get NGK spark plugs. You don't need any fancy $11 spark plugs, simple plugs will do the job just fine.

The ONE thing I have noticed with different spark plug types is that some last longer than others. Performance is still the same though.
