What do you think about this?

 

Very cool, who wants to be the first to try it

If they really are worth 5-10%, and they were reliable, then we would all have them.

 

i e-mailed them for more info..i will post what they replied.but certainly caught my eye.
anyone have any thoughts on these?

 

Caught my eye too, especially in light of the fact that my car is about to undergo a major service. Ran it by two p-car indie specialists and both said to stay away from anything outside of OE. Bosch is preferred.

 

We don't because they are not available yet. Would love to see the patent docs on this. Fuel ignition and burning has alwasy been a key part of performance improvements. With the upcoming direct injection, this could make for an interesting improvement. We all know what crappy spark plugs can be like....but I'll wait for the dyno and mileage comparisons.

 

Really can't see past the P.T. Barnum Circus Act here...

The only advantage here is the repeatable ignition event... (NOT the timing, as that is dependent (still) on an arc via the distributor and a mecahnical timing system (rotating cap).

The fuel burn video is a nice blind side bunk science thing.... the fuel burn is dependant on the FUEL and AIR... even a flint spark would give the same result... the spark plug adds nothing except the primary source of the ignition point.

And the science is wrong when they talk about 1MegaWatt of spark... it's really a MegaWatt second... big difference.

The spark plug performance will only be as good as the timing behind it...

Just my $0.02

 

Honestly, talk to 5 different mechanics and you'll get 5 different opinions... on just about anything. The mechanic who doesn't know anything about this new technology, of course will say "stick with factory recommended spark plugs."

 

Plus given the fact that nobody likes rework.

 

They claim a more powerful spark, but for a shorter duration of time. Which is better at igniting fuel - a less intense but longer-lasting spark, or a more intense but shorter-lasting spark? I don't know. But one thing I do know: Energy is not free.

 

10 percent? New spark plugs are going to give me another 25 hp? Yeah right.

 

Interesting figures. I'd try it but not on my Porsche.

 

woohoo! I maybe will hit 100hp with the Scion!!
