Has anyone seen the new spark plugs on ebay they give the 1.8 turbo engine 10.8 bhp and cost £99.00 , just have to save up and i will try a set :smug:
-
Ive got some LED washer jets that add 22 BHP £150 if you want them
-
yea its true there called pulse plug!
Volkswagen golf+ magazine did tests and a review on them and there golf had a 10.88bhp increase! :laugh:
-
Prob same as that electric turbo charger that gave you 60bhp :shocked: :grin:
-
no it was more like 65bhp! :grin:
-
So do we have a gunea pig for the plugs.....

i did read that aswell actually (in golf+). they have something in them which conserves the energy so it sparks quicker or something like that...
-
PULSE PLUGS thats the ones , cant wait to try them....I tryed splitfire triple plat that give you 3 bhp for £50 ,they were good what a difference they made :wink:
-
whos got a test rig :grin:
-
lol @ this thread.
-
I am totally sucked in. They sound great!
-
this is what it says in vw golf+ mag
"its a new range of spark plugs are so new that they are yet to be advertised at the the time of going to press! new pulsar pulse plugs are made in the USA and are ten times more powerful than standard plugs. energy from the engine's power coil is stored and in the built in capacitor of the pulsar plug.
At the exact moment needed, that the energy is released in a amazingly quick (two nanoseconds!) high energy pulse. These pulses ignite the fuel sooner and more thoroughly, therefore increasing internal cylinder pressure by as much as 10%. The result is an increase in power and torque as the company has proven on the rollers (there is a picture of the dyno print out!) with a mk4 golf 1.8T GTi posting a very healthy 10.8bhp increase!"

whos got a test rig :grin:
I'll get a set once my susension upgrade is done next month... :grin: :grin:
Ned to do away with the Tractor look 1st :wink:
-
it is alot of money to spend on 4 spark plugs! think i will buy one a month then get back with the results! :grin:
-
However gets them first post on here what there like cheers :wink:
-
well if you do actually get 10.8bhp increase 99 quid or whatever it is isnt really that expensive if you think about the gains you get from other products which are actually more e.g. Exhaust, TIP, Induction Kit etc...
-
This is actualy true. Nick from Rteck told me that they tried them on the dyno on their own 1.8T and they saw nice gains with them (cant remember exactly how much he said), he said the only downfall is price of them but they are worth it considering what your getting. I did some research about them a while back and they basically conduct electricity much much better and instead of a small spark they have like a more powerful one that makes the detonation process much stronger and faster.
-
and how long do they last mileage/ time between changes?
-
not sure but my rough guess is same as the other spark plugs. It would make service intervals expensive but atleast they are sweet in between.
-
i saw thes in the golf+ mag, they basically store the charge for the spark in the plug so that the bang is given alot quiker if that makes sense, they put a set in the 1.8t and the gains were around 10bhp. but they are £100 for 4 plugs.
-
where can you get these from, i want a set lol
-
i would never spend that on spark plugs.. two sets of those plugs is as much as a remap at rtech!! :nerd:

so many people are against the price that they will probably drop it soon enough lol. then i'll have a set :smiley:
-
larkspeed sell them!
-
im going to order the plugs tonight, ill let everybody know what they are like when they turn up. :drool:
-
Spoke to Nick at R-Tech about these and they seem to be the best plugs on the market for power gains. Off down to R-Tech on Wednesday and may be tempted to have a set fitted depending on what money i have.
But honestly think about the gain you get against the price, sounds like a worthwhile upgrade over standard plugs plus you would probably see improved MPG which will give you a saving in the long run.
-
def intrested if these really do wot they say they do.....
-
i tryed splitfire triple plat that give u 3 bhp and the defference was well good, they where about £50 :evil:
-
lol 3bhp, you could probably gain that by taking a sh!t before you go for a drive.
-
£10 per 1bhp sounds good to me plus better fuel economy these are on my list of mods :wink:
my new suspensions goes on tomorrow :grin:
-
my other half has just bought some for his celica gt4 :)
-
did it work?
-
kinda hard to tell because he has had so much work done to his engine but they are well recommended an the ideo clips on you tube ect show a vast improvement
-
£110 pound lighter plugs are on there way.I cant see how they fit mk 1234&5 :huh:
-
mk12345??? you may have to adjust gap of electrode to suit? :huh:
-
yes it does say that the gap needs adjusting, i didnt know all the plugs where the same :undecided:
-
Hope my spark plugs turn up today ,have to what until after work to see :cry:
