Anyone use Pulstar Iridium Plugs?
Seen something on TV the other day claiming these were amazing something or other... but, I was just curious if anyone here has used them or do use them in their current SVX and care to comment about them?
I did a forum search and only one result came up for the pulsar plugs and it was in joke form so... I'm guessing no one has used/tried them yet or at least publicly spoken about them. Anyone with any experience?

Re: Anyone use Pulstar Iridium Plugs?
PO put them in my car. Car runs good starts extremely fast . Sometime I barely hear the starter motor , but then it has a humungous battery

Re: Anyone use Pulstar Iridium Plugs?
i would assume they were old because i did it right after i bought the car...but when i took the old ones out my dad looked at them and said they looked fine (not burnt or white?) they were bosch plugs and they had a very tiny point on them...so i could be wrong but either way car def felt better

Re: Anyone use Pulstar Iridium Plugs?
a friend of mine tried the pulstar plugs in his m3, even had them cryogenically frozen. said he noticed no change in power or mileage but that they foul easily. if they get a little oil or fuel on them the plug will misfire until you take it out and clean it off.

I bought mine after the price went down. Originally they were ridiculously priced. Great plugs and when I replace my plugs on the other two cars, it will definitely be Pulsar Iridium Plugs. When they first came out, I brought up the subject on this form and the "experts" responded explaining to me why they wouldn't work! Keith |

Still, 12.95 a piece isn't a joke but I guess if they are warranted at 100k miles, just like the NGKs are, then why not try it? I'll probably give these a go on my upcoming 210k!

Re: Anyone use Pulstar Iridium Plugs?
A classic thread: <Has anyone tried pulstar sparkplugs?>
There are a lot of basic principles of physics that say that Pulstar's claims are somewhat... questionable.

Re: Anyone use Pulstar Iridium Plugs?
Here are my thoughts... Motorsports wharehouse has a stacker device, Plugs in and piggy backs an Extra charge to your plugs. If I was going to spend money I'd look into that. A spark plug is only going to fire as hot as the energy being put in it. Just like the ignition coils are only going to discharge the amount of power they were designed for. As for these Plugs where is this Extra Energy coming from???? Stock system is only going to put out so much. So that's where my brain says mmmmm
Go with what we know works. stay with the STOCK NGK Plugs.. oddly enough they cost about the same as these, they are far less problematic and last longer. Our Stock NGK plugs range in price from 11 to 14 and a dealership will tell you 25$ My honest opinion. If you aren't running other mods don't waste your money on these plugs. It sounds like they would work in theory . But here are some factors to keep in mind. Our Ignitions systems are getting older and over time they do degrade. As do many other systems. that effect performance... I've seen on several areas on the Net, where People are NOT having such GREAT things to say about these plugs. Nor are they getting the results. In some cases they get broken plugs to as they are a 2 part plug. Even changing out our regular standard plugs is about 4 hours. I have wondered about the E3 plugs and I've used them in yard Equip with good results. there are a few tip designs like Halo and another that have proven to work very well. Just keep in mind your working on an older car.. Now if you want to do yourself a favor, switch all fluids over to Amsoil and their line of filters. Don't believe me. Do it on a newer car and you'll see a difference in your MPG.( just oil and air filter) Then tackle the SVX. Amsoil stands up to the ass load of Heat our cars love to make. Especially the Tranny.. I'm just saying check it out.... It's very nice looking at 9k mile oil and seeing Honey colored... just a thought of 2 cents. |

Re: Anyone use Pulstar Iridium Plugs?
I had these in my car. After about 3k miles, got a misfire on 2 cylinders. Removed them, found that the electrodes had pretty much disintegrated. I received them for free from a friend who worked at Enerpulse. He's since quit and moved on. Take from that what you will.
