| 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.
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 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.

I purchased two sets of these diamond fire technology plugs after seeing them used on horsepower television where they made a difference on an engine being dyno'd. There was an increase in horsepower and a reduction in emmissions, but this was a carburated engine, were the tech could make manual adjustments to fuel and timing.
I installed one set on my 2009 gmc Sierra pick-up which is fuel injected and computer controled and is self adjusting. I have to say that they've made no difference that I can see;I've been tracking my truck's fuel consumption on a L/100KM calculator since I bought it, I've gone though over 600 KMs so far with the new plugs and no improvement in fuel efficiency. My feeling? it's just another plug, based on old technology that goes back 100+ years. The only difference I've noticed is rougher idle quality. At least they're cheap to buy so I don't feel too bad having spent the $$ to satisfy my curiosity, and they haven't made performance worse.

This review is from: E3 Spark Plugs E3.54 Automotive, Truck, Van and SUV OEM Replacement Spark Plug , Pack of 1 (Misc.) I purchased these plugs after veiwing them on popular tv shows. I also looked at previous reviews on this site. I should have heeded the reviews more than the selling points of the sponsered tv shows. Within a month after installing these plugs I now have severe misfiring. I am sending these plugs back to E3 under thier warranty. Hopefully they will refund (at thier choice) rather than send me replacements that I no longer want or need. On the other hand I did get better gas milage for about a tankful of gas(midgrade)but that stopped after about 100 miles of my nexted fillup (same gas, same brand). I reccomend that you think about another brand and listen to other reviews rather than buy into another gimmick. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: E3 Spark Plugs E3.54 Automotive, Truck, Van and SUV OEM Replacement Spark Plug , Pack of 1 (Misc.) Would not recommend these to anyone. They started missing and caused my check engine light to come on on my ranger truck after less than a thousand miles. |
