Spark plugs - Anyone tried these
« on: 23 April 2013, 23:30 »
Anyone tried these Brisk spark plugs, are they better than iridiums? Never knew they even existed till a friend and I was discussion spark plugs and he mentioned he found some new plugs that are patented and used is nascar.

Interested if anyone used them and their thoughts on multispark plugs in general.

They look good, don't forget to bathe them in 10/40w snake oil before use.

Well I'm in two minds, the way I see it is a spark plug ignites the petrol fumes to start the controlled explosion, but I know airplanes in the past use to use multispark plugs, so there's got to be a reason. Plus these 360 plugs do create a big spark going by youtube video and some R1 motorbike owners have done dyno runs before and after with these plugs and claimed a ~3bhp increase. Then nascar use them as well, so I was wondering if there is any truth in the same way some people swear by iridium plugs as it creates a smoother and more responsive pickup and idle.

They do seem to get positive reviews from a look on the net and I want to know if there's any truth and experiences if anyones had any of using these spark plugs.

Iridium spark plugs aren't meant to give an increase in performance really, they're designed to be more durable than standard electrodes so need replacing less often.

the bullsh!t detector has been triggerd i'm afraid

multispark  plugs don't fire to all the electrodes at the same time  the spark will only go to one electrode at any one time tho it will pick and choose whitch electrode to jump to,  multi electrodes sound good for marketing but in practice offer no real advantage,    at least there aren't ods of electrodes sticking out to produce flame shadow.

anyway


    1. Higher HP and torque by up to 3 %    ( most egines run and go better with fresh plugs )
    2. increased economy by up to 5%        ( as above )
    3. 360° Firing Technology                     ( not sold on these yet )
    4. Improved acceleration by up to 15 %   (  WTF  3% increse in hp makes it 15% faster   eh WTF )
    5. 25,000 miles - 40,000 km duration       ( iridiums go longer )
all the VW's have gone bar 1.
