| 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 E3.68 Automotive Spark Plug, Pack of 1 (Automotive) Cheapest place to buy them is here on Amazon...as far as I could tell...plus, if you try to get these at your local shop they'll probably have to order them for you...
I bought these based on the "speed channel's" review...I understand the physics behind it and figured it couldn't hurt... My truck runs fine, can't say I really notice much difference in performance, but who knows... If you want the best, I couldn't find a better one than E3's 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: E3 Spark Plugs E3.68 Automotive Spark Plug, Pack of 1 (Automotive) PROS: No gap to set so install was that much easier.CONS: I saw no change in gas mileage after driving about 28,000 miles on the E3 plugs. Also it takes noticeably longer for the engine to turn over than it did with the old plugs. Probably cranks twice as much now. It's still only a second or 2, but easily noticeable by me. Conclusion: I wasn't really expecting any significant change in MPGs with these plugs. I bought them b/c the price here on Amazon was cheaper than conventional NGK copper plugs. But I definitely don't appreciate the longer cranking at start. Don't bother with these plugs.

This review is from: E3 Spark Plugs E3.68 Automotive Spark Plug, Pack of 1 (Automotive) These plugs are great. They did everything they claimed to do in my 2010 Toyota Tacoma. I'm getting about 1/2 mile per gallon fuel mileage increase (the main reason I bought them) and the engine is more responsive. Overall I'm very pleased with them. |
