never heard of them..... seems like they would work in theory, but it may be like the "tornado" thing for your intake

they do offer a 30-day money back guarantee, do maybe its worth trying, but I dunno @ $100 for a set of 4

[Haltech]

More snake oil... $25 a plug? Gimme a break.

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.

[nig3]

They offer them in colder heat ranges, you have to call for the right part number. the stock heat range would be fine though, they are just mainly talking about nitrous cars and cars that have had turbos added to them. we allready run iridiums which stay hot as hell between ignition cycles, these couldnt be any worse just way way more efficient.

[nig3]

who's gonna be the first to try them?????? i cant wait

[ZoomZoomH]

i wonder if they make any for rotary engines...

[numbnuts22715]

nobody.

you try them.

[whooosh]

just as an FYI
a couple guys in the other forum with speed6's tried these and ended up getting their money back

[knowledge007]

Pulstar Pulstar Pulse Plugs EF-1 EF-1 .045" $24.95

They are saying on most websites that this plug is the ultimate...

[knowledge007]

What is the product number for the OEM plugs and gap?

[ho bag]

LOL read what they say it does....Then go buy nology hot wires cause there the same thing and they both have one thing in common....

THERE JUNK!

Regardless of what they say there is not way a different plug is gonna create more spark energy then they take in. You want a good ignition system? get GOOD wires, GOOD plugs (NGK or something along that line in copper) and maybe goto a 1.8l coil setup (casue these are bigger coils).

Pure junk and a waste of money. If you want a kick in the balls at $25 a pop send me your money.

not sure wtf your talking about but anyways... these are different, they do amplify energy taken in, much like a stun gun makes 100,000volts from a 9 volt battery. and you cant add nology hotwires on a motor with direct igntion. so this might be a great thing for our motors, we gotta test them

[redspeed]

I think you just volunteered.

[Falconx84]

I think you just volunteered.

I think I'd have to agree ... c'mon, you can be the first on the block (or at least the forum) with the newest coolest toy! [/cheesy sales line]

Nology hot wires work on the same prinicable. They use a "special circuit" to hold all the spark energy and they release it as more energy. Most people that try these gimmick wires go back to stock in a hurry as they do nothing to help performance but lighten you wallet a fair bit.

[Vindikacione]

So, what's the verdict? Anybody try them yet?

My bet is they don't help with adding HP or add MPG to your car and if they do you are looking at a .5% gain not even a 5% gain. This is just my opinion. I was one of those suckers with the Nology wires and I remember feeling super stupid after install and realizing my Honda was still slow.

Here's a logical question:
If they did all what they say they do, then why don't car manufacturers use them in their top end 2008 models?
-Cost isn't a reason to add them for a top end car.
-Because they are new (recently introduced), perhaps, so maybe there is hope for them.

BUT if a Speed6 owner tried it and returned it, then that tells me two things:

1) They don't work.

or

2) Those owners don't know their cars.

I'm guessing #1, because only true car enthusiasts would buy a Speed6 and then take the time to install it in their cars in the first place.

You never know and I'm thinking Nig3 is still on the chopping block to find out for us. Peer pressure is a bitch...

[08.MS3]

they are talking about these same plugs on a local suby forum..

[ericrapp]

sure but nobody responds to my E3 plug query. IM tellin you hit the site. There is new technology at work here and i think we'll see more manufacturers making more efficient combustion! Diamond edge to edge conductors. I have them in my Dodge and they made a difference that sounded and felt smoother. Guys at the shop who tried liked, two of the guys said their wives noticed before they told them. I've only got 2800 miles on but i'll pull them to see what's condition

[Vindikacione]

After reading independent test results, I have seen, on average, a 3-4hp gain over stock amongst several different vehicles.

For the price, I'm not impressed. My car is a Speed 3, stock it's already freakin fast!!!! Save your $$$$ on gas.

[Crazee D]

I am impressed for the price!
I have seen tests in D-Sport AND Modified mags and both saw a 5% plus increase across the board. Tests were well controlled and dyno backed.
Plasma technology is legitimate.
This is the next step from the plasma tech that 1st found application in the hotwires.
I plan on getting some.

It will work fine with a NA MZ3, but doubtful it will show any significant gains in a Turbo MS3. Still wouldn't buy them if I owned a sorry Honduh... Honduh's aren't worth the extra $$$!!! Don't be a sucker.

[mazdaspeed32007]

i just put some 1 step colder ngk plugs for less than half that. they work fucking great. you wont see me spending 112 bucks on plugs thats for sure.

[Crazee D]

cost per hp for a 5% increase, it would be a good deal

[mazdaspeed32007]

thats like 20 buck per HP. 350 for a custom TBE and you gain roughly 40 hp. thats like 8 bucks per HP. youd have to spend 800 for your exhaust for it to equal $20 per HP. id say thats a better deal than those plugs. same with a MS CAI. looking at roughly $280-20hp thats $14 per HP. these kinds of mods in combination with others would be much more beneficial that just plugs. plus...if you buy the NGK plugs your getting a quality plug that stops the problems the regular plugs have. IMO...waste of money for such little benefits. maybe in the future when the price comes down i will be your test bunny. until then, my 112 dollars will go towards something else. ill keep subscribed to know how it works out when someone is willing to buy them.

I was thinking about getting those plugs when I get TMIC since I'll have it apart I figured why not put the NGK colder plugs in.
But I wasn't for sure if they were worth it? Also do those already come pre-gapped for the speed3?

[Vindikacione]

for that insane price, you'd think they come gapped! Maybe a free lap dance too.

[mazdaspeed32007]

hes talking about the ngk plugs. i bought mine from ngk and when i measured they were perfect. when i bought them they said it was ms3 specific so maybe they do them??? not sure if that was coincidence or not but it was fine for me. they def are worth the 50 bucks. kills all stuttering and hesitation from the plug pov.

[ZZZOOM!]

Forum Member "cmedrive" just had a before and after dyno done to test the pulse plugs. I guess this company is based here in NM? I'll shoot him a PM and see if I can get him on here to give you guys some feedback. The gains were not enough for me to be interested in selling them.

[cmedrive]

Yeah, I offered up my car to test these for Enerpulse. I've got before and after dyno results but I feel that the dyno numbers I received were kind of high. He showed me the individual runs on the dyno computer and all the runs seemed to indicate the dyno was measuring correctly. Heres the breakdown of the info I received.
Mustang Dyno-2004 MZ3 2.3l
65 deg F, 5000ft above msl, I/H/E, BSD, Advanced Timing Mod
HP (Peak) +0.50% 203
Torque (Peak) +1.55% 197
HP (Avg) +0.66% 152
Torque (Avg) +0.55% 184
Acceleration (40-80mph) -1.63% 7.85s
Fuel Use (CC) -1.07% 945.97
Fuel use was measured over 8.12 miles if I remember correctly. It was an EPA test I guess. The gains were small but still gains. Is it worth $25/plug? That's up to you to decide. A lot of people have had problems with these plugs causing misfires and CELs. What I found out from the tech at Enerpulse was that these have to be gapped correctly otherwise you end up burning through the insulator. He suggested a 0.005" smaller gap than stock.
