PULSTAR spark plugs

[sx_turbo]

reading through a jap performance mag i have here, and i see them raving about these spark plugs.

they cant surely be this good can they?

apparently on a bog standard nissan 350z they caused it to make an extra 11bhp,

i cant help but be sceptical though

Hmm i see what you mean... buy --> test --> let me know

lol @ £25 per plug, i dont think it's something i can afford to try, shame cos i would try lol

I've seen a bit on other forums following this google search (scam was part of the google suggest feature):

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pu...f&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGGL,GGGL:2006-23,GGGL:en&aq=t

this one discusses it a bit,

and this one is pretty interesting too:

Particularly this:

they never said anything about compression going up.

they did, however, claim that the flame front will propagate faster, which would have a similar effect on peak cylinder pressure to advancing timing.

I'm not advocating this product in any way, but at least refute their argument, not the one you made up

Still looks like one of those power boost chip scams, you know? Oh, and this:

With increased cylinder pressure, the pistons are pushed down with more force, which, in turn, generates more torque in the crankshaft, more liveliness to the throttle and more power to the wheels.

Reaks of bs to me

£25 per plug.... lol you'd hope it'd make a diffrence at that price tbh !

 

[Iain@CRD]

i always thort same as above ''sparks a spark'' but that shows otherwise.

I wouldnt agree with 'a spark is just a spark'

Not that im saying these spark plugs are any better than standard NGKs. I'm just as interested to find out results as others.

I found these:

First post is peoples views after fitting (seems as if most replaced old plugs)

2nd link is dyno results

a spark is not just a spark, you have strength, duration, heat etc

nick@tuning developments is in the middle of testing these so we shall see what happens soon, primary analysis is very good though. I shall get him to keep everyone posted about the results of these.

yikes, read some of the comments on that clip too

You can accomplish the same thing by buying an
F-16 Pulse King on ebay for 69.95 it attaches to the battery and works all your stock sparkplugs.

Might be worth a peek.

F 16 LEAD

i read a review on these where they where tested ricky and they actually made a loss of power

apparently acroding to the manufactures there more suited to standard cars
