In the March issue of Dsport mag...

Basically they stated the basics like the fact that high performance ignition system cant make the amount of a/f that enters the engine increase but it can increase the amount of energy extracted from each ignition stroke, blah blah blah.

They tested three different cars:

-2000 Acura Integra Type-R that dynoed 158.70 hp and 114.92 tq before the pulse plugs then 161.06 hp and 117.46 tq with the pulse plugs. this car showed an increase of 2.36 peak hp and 2.54 peak tq.

-Next was a 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe. The VQ35 threw down 233.98 hp with factory NGK plugs then 239.15 peak with the pulse plugs for a total gain of 5.17 hp and reached a peak gain of 10 hp 5,200 rpm.

-Last was a Mitsu Evo IX that posted 276.5 hp and 266.1 tq. Then marked up a gain of 282.2 hp and 269.2 tq. This was a gain of 5.7 hp at peak rpm and a peak gain of over 7 hp at 6,750 rpm. A gain of 3.1 peak rpm tq. was also noticed.

They stated that they believe that the pulse plugs proved to deliver the "bang-for-the-buck" promise and thought that it was going to become increasingly popular upgrade for ignition systems.

The plugs price range anywhere from $100 for a four-cylinder set up to $150 for a six-cylinder set up, as stated by Dsport Mag.

Hope this helps.

I was reading the bottom note about using aftermarket turbos etc u have to use directs hit or something like that. i know a few have upgraded the turbos on their TT's so are u still using the basic pulse plug?

hey click doc, you should come down to our shop on a day off or something. we have enerpulse plugs here for $21 per plug and you don't have to pay shipping cuz your so close!

^ Let's make sure we're not jacking our supporter (sparkplugs.com) over a buck or two.

They'll price-match I'm sure.

[thoroughbred3.0]

$150? thats a lot of money for plugs. But if there really is a 5 hp gain then its worth it.

sorry hitman. i wasn't aware. i'll shut up now

I don't see any mention of heat range options on their site. That's pretty critical in different power configurations of engines due to heat control of the combustion chamber and plug health. Are there any controlled dyno test results available? I see they have their own test formats.This plug stores/releases energy sort of like a capacitor. Any idea of longevity?Lastly, it describes how it releases energy as that when ignition overcomes plug resistance, it fires. Can this get out of whack with what the engine's ignition system it trying to control?

Looks interesting but at this price it would be nice to see some field and endurance testing.

They posted a dyno on sparkplugs.com but it's pretty misleading. For the champion plugs the RPM's start much lower than the pulstar's giving the champions a lower overall average hp number and making the pulstar look better.

Take that away and you have only the raw high HP numbers left which are from -1 to +1.

Usually seeing is believing. I believe the pulstar to have a brighter spark. Until I see otherwise I will have to say it's a flim flam.

I would however like to put in some pulstar's and some nology wires and get it up to 88 MPH and see what happens...

[drftnassmofo]

yeah thats the only thing im still skeptical about is how long they are gonna last. usually plugs in my car last about 3 months so if these last a year in my car with everything set up the way it is then i think that would make them more worth the money. b/c then either way i would've spent the same amount of money on spark plugs.

LOL - All good, brotha!

Your plugs only last you 3 months

Got mine installed -- Butt Dyno seems to show a little improvement !

[Mc57127]

I'm interested in these for when i go stage three.

I'd also like to hear how they've done in jerry's high HP Z as i'll be shooting for 500hp next year...
