| 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.

This review is from: E3 Spark Plugs E3.64 Automotive Spark Plug, Pack of 1 (Automotive) I used these plugs in my 2002 VW Passat 1.8T AWM for a little more then a year and a half. I had used them for just a tad over 20,000 Miles. When new they worked just as well as stock plugs. However I saw no improvement in MPG. They started to fail and misfire at just a few miles over 20,000 Miles of use. I have never had spark plugs wear out so fast. I expected more from this product. I am extremely disappointed in these plugs. I've had Autolite Platinum's that lasted 40,000 Miles (twice as long) and they cost about half the price. I will not buy E3 Spark Plugs in the future! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: E3 Spark Plugs E3.64 Automotive Spark Plug, Pack of 1 (Automotive) I just installed a set of these plugs on my 2004 Chevy Silverado 4WD 5.3L gas engine after watching Horsepower on the Powerblock channel. The dyno test on Horsepower showed a 5.5hp increase and slightly better gas savings over platinum tipped plugs that were also tested. So, I got mine for $5.99 from Summit Racing, as they had the size I needed. These come pre-gapped for your application. Not that 5.5hp is a whopping increase, but I have noticed the throttle response is a little better and when I put my foot into it, the truck has a little more giddyup. The results on gas mileage are still out. But, that's not why I bought them in the first place. If you can pick up 5.5hp just by changing plugs and at a fair price. Why not? 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By Texan "mannedspace" (TX USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: E3 Spark Plugs E3.64 Automotive Spark Plug, Pack of 1 (Automotive) After about 10k miles on the spark plugs ('04 Tundra), had one of 8 fail (mechanic cost $86 for evaluation and replacement). Now talking with mechanic (should have before I installed) and auto-parts store, these are not as advertised. |
