new e3 spark plugs anygood ?

[onebadg35]

Im due for a tune up and I was considering using these new e3 plugs that came out. They claim preety good stuff about these plugs just curious what the truth is anyone running em yet?

[370Z/28]

Haven't seen anything on them. What makes them so special?

In my American Muscle days, I tried them all. Splitfire...whatever. Never noticed any difference in a plug. I guess a spark is a spark.

[onebadg35]

it creates wayyyyyy more spark. if you look up the video on them on youtube you will see its a huge difference. on the show "gears" they took them to a motor dyno and compaired to conventional spark plugs they gained 8 ft/lbs of torque.

Put them in your car and report back to us. That is your assignment! We want a full 3 pull dyno done before and after.



I put Splitfires in my '90 Z24 and it threw off my timing. I had them taken right back out.

If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.
I wouldn't waste the money or the time

If you want to help reduce global warming please do. It's been hot as hell here all summer

Read the reviews on Amazon. Some good some poor

Amazon.com Product Description
E3 Automotive spark plugs are a clear breakthrough in spark plug technology. Developed by researchers from leading engineering universities, E3's patented electrode design allows for a better spark, and resulting more complete flame kernal and flame front extending off the electrode, producing better overall localized pressure inside your vehicle's cylinders. This in turn leads to the fuel/air mixture injected into the cylinder being more cleanly consumed, lessening the level of greenhouse gases emitted, increasing energy efficiency and generating more horsepower.

Why You Need E3 Spark Plugs
As the designated catalyst for the ignition of fuel in gasoline powered cars, trucks, motorcycles and small engines, spark plugs are a small, but constant factor in the workings of the vast majority of motorists on the road. What these motorists may not know is that their choice of spark plug could play a significant role in reducing the level of greenhouse gases that their vehicles give off, as well as increasing overall fuel economy and potential power output. This is where E3 Spark Plug's DiamondFire technology comes in.
DiamondFire Technology
For the last 100 years, the only real advance in consumer spark plug technology has been to develop ways to make them cheaper. E3 Spark Plug's DiamondFire technology changes all of that through an improved electrode design that provides for more efficient burning of your vehicle's air/fuel vapor, leading to more pressure in the cylinder. These improvements are measurable, confirmed and based on the following design elements found in existing performance spark plugs.
First, the DiamondFire electrode directs the flame kernel to the piston more directly, reducing the travel time from the spark zone to the end gases via the open section at the top of the electrode. Given the short time available to get combustion started, the faster you can get the flame to the piston, the better. Second, the physical features of the electrode project further forward into the combustion chamber. This brings the spark zone closer to areas of probable "good" air/fuel mixture and also creates beneficial "micro-aerodynamics" within the spark zone. The initial combustion wave leaves the spark area at supersonic speeds above Mach 1, and the elevated edge provides a kind of chimney effect so the next round of air/fuel mixture gets into the spark zone more easily. Finally, the E3 electrode design features forced edge-to-edge spark discharge, which is the best way to get a spark to leave a surface. This improves upon the phenomena that drove race car drivers to "cut back" ordinary electrode spark plugs in order to improve the spark discharge. The spark itself occurs only when an avalanche of electrons migrates from the two electrodes (anode to cathode). Sharp edges are better at initiating electron migrations, and these accelerated electrons collide with matter inside the spark zone to release additional electrons. This design ensures that the whole population of electrons works to create a plasma channel through which the spark current flows more easily, resulting in an increase in both power output and fuel economy, while reducing emissions in gasoline engines and the build up of carbon deposits on engine surfaces.
Key Features:
• DiamondFire electrode technology that creates a superior spark and resulting flame front extending further into the cylinder, producing more localized pressure.
• Power increased > 6% to 12% (depending on engine class).
• Fuel efficiency improved > 4% to 13% (depending on engine class).
• Emissions reduced in 2 and 4-stroke engines (after 50 hours).
o 58% CO emissions reduction.
o 42% hydrocarbon reduction.
• Near elimination of performance inhibiting carbon deposits.
• Dramatically longer plug life.
• 5-year/100,000 mile limited warranty.
What's in the Box
1-E3 Automotive spark plug for cars, trucks, vans and SUVs.
5-Year or 100,000 Mile Limited Warranty
E3 Automotive spark plugs used for personal, family or household purposes are warranted by the manufacturer to provide an experience of more power on less fuel, quicker starts and less fouling than competitive standard spark plugs, and to be free of defects in material or workmanship, for five years or 100,000 miles from the date of purchase. In the event of provable defect within the stated warranty period, the manufacturer will either replace the item(s), or refund the purchase price at their discretion.
About Pyrotek E3
Headquartered in Point Vedra, Florida, Pyrotek E3, d.b.a. E3 Spark Plugs, was formed to help customers increase power, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce engine emissions that contribute to global warming. Their advanced DiamondFire electrode design burns fuel more efficiently and completely, increasing mileage, horsepower and drastically cutting toxic emissions.
Product Description
The exceptional performance of the E3 spark plug starts with the unique open architecture of the E3 electrode. The design forces air gap discharges, creates the preferred edge-to-edge spark path, allows free replenishment of the spark zone with a fresh fuel/air charge, and exposes the flame front more directly to the piston head than other plug designs.Sparks naturally follow edge-paths as they leave an object. The E3 design presents multiple sharp edges to the center electrode. Sparks flow between these edges at lower voltages, facilitating easier discharge than standard designs. By forcing air sparks, the resistance to fouling is greatly increased in the E3 spark plug. This lowers the self-cleaning temperature of the spark plug, allowing colder heat ranges to be used if desired.E3's distinctive spark plug design has proven, in testing in a range of engines, to simultaneously increase engine power output, reduce gasoline consumption, decrease hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions from the engine and materially extend the life of the spark plug.

that all sounds great but well see how they perform i guess. it seems each motor takes to them diff. some like them and some dont guess well see if the g35 coupe is on the like list

Well most I have read from people who installed the Pyrotek E3 sparkplugs were not happy at all a rating of 2 out five from 22 users.

ok so now im sceptical lol whats the best performance plug for my 05 coupe? anyone know?

[telcoman]

I'll vote for the OEM plugs

Here are mine originals replaced at 106682 miles on Jan 2010



I am now just over 170k with the OEM replacement plugs

i no oem will lways b best by everyone but is there anything outside of the oem that might be a step better?
