New Spark Plug on the Block!!!!!

Re: New Spark Plug on the Block!!!!!

I'm going to call the 1-800 number on monday and get one heat range colder than a stock Typhoon plug or have them cross reference a UR5 Plug from NGK. I'll post here when I find out a spark plug part number from them.

I'm also going to ask how a MSD affects their plugs since it sparks several times. Just wondering if that would hurt the circuit in the plug or not?

I'll get back to you guys with some more info.

Sounds interesting, but at $25 a pop, someone else will have to be the guinnea pig on this one :)

They make plug wires that already do the same thing.

Interesting... I'll have to keep and eye o this to see what happens.

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. For these applications please see our other
great product at www.directhits.com or call us at 888-800-6700 (1-505-842-5201 for
International calls).

Re: New Spark Plug on the Block!!!!!

seems legit, but then again, is there a point at which its a waste, err err more power i guess. Someone use em and see, im scared :(

I smell splitfire.

$150 for spark plugs, the way our trucks burn 'em up... sounds expensive.

It looks a whole lot like nology.

Every 5-10 years, there's a new gee-whiz plug. And after all this time, we're still using the tried & true.

The only thing that I have seen lately that would work, in theory, is a plasma coil.
Only thing I can't figure out is how they can generate a real plasma within the confines of a vehicle ignition system. Takes a whole lotta energy to make plasma.

Heheheh. That reminds me of these (Sonic Spark Plugs):

http://www.enginebrain.com/index.html#buy

Those were tested (along with changing the ignition timing

) and picked up 20hp on your "run-of-the-mill" 14:1 compression 7800RPM Chevy Big Block.

Unless an engine has an existing misfire or issues with spark plug induced detonation, eleventy billion more watts, sonic holes or pulsetronic fluxcapacitance aren?t going to make a bit of difference. Color me skeptical.

After looking at the diagram at the bottom of the page, I am now completely convinced (I was 99.9% before) that this is total BS. One does not need to purvey factual inaccuracies to sell a legitimate product.

For one, the pressure gauge illustrations are totally wrong. The one on the left completely omits the rapid rise in cylinder pressure from a constant volume, heat addition process (Air Standard Otto Cycle as seen in a typical spark ignition engine). It also shows the peak cyclinder pressure at the bottom of the power stroke (WTF). The one on the right almost looks like the pressure profile of a diesel engine (constant pressure, heat addition) in how the pressure stays near static on the high side through the whole power stroke. This is the stuff of basic thermodynamics.

It also states that the ?fuel mixture is ignited instantly with a 1-million watt pulse of electricity?. Internal combustion, though a remarkably quick process, is never an instant one. A ?1-million watt pulse of electricity? is not going to make a flame propagate better or a flame front travel faster, let alone cause the process to be instantaneous. Yes, it might just be an exaggeration, but exaggerations aren?t needed for legitimate products.

?What is different about a pulse plug is that instead of heating ignition parts during the ionization phase, this energy is stored in the integral circuit inside the pulse plug. When the ignition power overcomes the resistance in the spark gap, the pulse circuit discharges all of its accumulated power - 1 million watts - in 2 billionths of a second!?

I also do not like how terms are confused in this description. Power is not ?accumulated? (stored) nor is it ?discharged?, energy is. And the unit for electrical energy is not watts, it should be joules or watt-hrs, or kilowatt-hours. That description of the process simply does not make sense.

I don?t care how many bells and whistles a spark plug has, it cannot deliver any more energy to the ignition event than the coil sends to it in the first place.

Re: New Spark Plug on the Block!!!!!

Perhaps we could approach them as representation of 100's of forum members with the possibility of many sales via a donor set ?. Maybe a turbo vehicle tested with good results would benefit their cause ? Who knows......but to sell at roughly 100$ more than a set of NGK Iridiums, they need to work with some groups like us to get good additional marketing.
