Hi everyone,  Has anyone bought and installed the new PULSTAR plugs on his/her car? Or have you heard of any first hand testimonial from anyone who has...
well you know you can build the same thing... all it is, is a spark gap... your choice of plug wires can have more of an effect then the plug IMHO... but a...
Hi Timothy, Thanks for your response. Are you very positively sure that, all it is to gain such a claimed spark power, is a bare spark gap? If it is, could...
Just theoretically speaking, without seeing any observed or claimed results, I'd be a little skeptical on the spark plug claims. Seems to me that you either...
If you have multiple flame fronts, they will collide, the sound you would hear would be an audible "knock" inside the engine. Same thing happens when you have...
Aha--thanks. this makes sense.So what's with "hot" and "cold" plugs? And does a hotter or bigger spark do anything to speed combustion? Or are the "magic...
This should give a pretty good explanation. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Reading_spark_plugs_for_racing I myself run a bit hotter plug, although I tend to...
Hmm.Well, what I get out of that is that a large kernel (result of a hotter plug / higher voltage) gives more power than a small kernel (colder plug). I assume...
I do know that hotter plugs need replacement more often. They simply burn out faster. Also consider that, every time you have a spark, and I might be off on...

"modern plugs" might last 100k, but how will they be performing by that time? Certainly not like new. I wasn't aware that a spark discharge constituted a...

how does a gasoline engine operate in a "closed loop"??? that is exhaust routed back into the intake right? no air escapes? so you'd have to inject oxidizer as...
Closed Loop is simply when the oxygen sensor heats up enough to provide a "valid" reading to the engine's computer, thus the puter is able to adjust the...
... Closed loop is when all the feedback systems are running, so the fuel is run at stoichometric, controlled by the oxygen sensor, and the spark is typically...
