Pulstar plugs .....

[HNDAH8R]

My dad found these plugs and he and I have been wondering if anyone knows anything about them or has ever tried them, they have a plug for the SRT-4 but they are like 25$ each, if worth it or not I have been thinking about trying them out.

i would like to know also. the video they have on their website makes it seem like it wouldn't be safe for f/i cars. just look how big the spark is.

bigger spark would be better....more complete and efficient combustion....you want the biggest spark as possible without getting spark blowout....they even have a disclaimer for you to order colder step plugs with supercharger/turbo

CAUTION: Pulstar model recommendations are for stock, unmodified engines. If you have added an aftermarket turbocharger, supercharger, nitrous or any other product that increases displacement or compression to your engine you will require a colder heat range pulse plug in order to avoid possible damage to your engine. For these applications please see our other great product at DirectHits or call us at 888-800-6700.

New Spark Plugs Called Pulse Plugs

Has anyone tried these plugs as of yet? I have the Nology Hotwires and was interested in knowing how these compare...same general design except inside the plug instead of wires.

i dont know if im convinced. race teams spend tens of thousands of dollars to make power, dont you think they would all be running these plugs? $100 for 5hp? every team on earth would be running them...if they were worth anything

Truth About Ignition Wire Conductors

Even if you don't like their wires they have a lot of good ignition system information. There's a lot to be said about these "capacitive effect" plug and/or wires supposedly work and if you understand how an ignition system works you'd probably save your money. They've got other info on their main page here.

A local guy got them to send him a set to try out. Here is what he said.

Well for those that remember. I convinced the makers of pulstar plugs to send me a free set. For my car that comes to $200.00 worth of plugs.. These plugs were suppose to crank up the spark.. increase compression and power..

I worked out a time to borrow the dyno at dynosport to run some test. What i had in my car going to the dyno were all Acdelco uraniums with about 4,000 miles on them.. THey are 100,000 mle plugs so i figured they were still good... at this point its giving the pulstars the advantage.. Well after doing some averaging.. it was concluded the pulstars increased power by 1hp and lost 1tq at the wheels over my used Acdelcos. I left them in to see if it would increase fuel econ. At first it seemed like i gained a couple mpg in town.. but after a few weeks that tappered off. I assume the difference wasn't the plugs but possibly gas/driving/enviroment and all the lil maintance i did before going like cleaning my maf.

Long story short.. they dont' work atleast not as advertised.. All the cars they test are stock... My car is no where near stock.. however considering the method they are suppose to work... there should be equal improvement on my car over a stock...


Welll it gets better. My car started acting up after the first snow storm... I kept thinking it was probably my 02's. They needed to be replaced but this didn't feel like 02s. although the rich smell and hte o2 codes said otherwise..

Well to get to my o2's i have to lower my headers. NOT an easy task... because of the way they drop i have to remove my sparkplugs... which means remove the pulstars... the first one came out just fine... looked just fine (color of the plug thats in the head) but that was the last one that came out that way.. every other one came out breaking... the ceramic coating that is... one was broken before i even put the socket over it. i had a hard time getting my socket over it.. because of the ceramic piieces laying underneither the plug on the head... so after strugglling for about 5 mins with it i finally go it off and it came out in peices.. just the top half everything inside the head was ok.. but this was obviously my problem.. So long story short they dont' work and are piles of shit.

He also has dyno sheets of before and after.
