Product Description
E3 has taken the best features from traditional spark plugs, such as cut-back ground electrodes and surface gaps, and combined them to create a new ground electrode design.á Surface gap plugs present the flame kernel to the piston (or rotor) more directly, reducing the travel time from the spark to the combustion gases (Although this difference is only measurable in hundred-thousands of a second, at 5000 RPM, they can add up). This avoids the "doughnut" shaped flame front created by standard spark plug electrodes.á This is achieved in the E3 design through the open section at the top of the ground electrode.á E3 spark plugs combine the benefits of additional sharp electrode edges with a cut-back electrode design used on some racing spark plugs.á The increase of available edge-to-edge surface area encourages a more rapid spark discharge while also reducing quenching and shadowing.á The three legs that support the special geometry of E3's automotive plug ground electrode aid in heat dissipation for longer electrode life.á The center electrode on E3 spark plugs is created from a nickel alloy with a copper center core for both improved conductivity as well as heat dissipation.

1 out of 5 stars Dont buy for Subaru   November 5, 2009
Andrew Bernier (NH)
I'm a ASE Automotive technician,And I thought "Wow thats some pulg!"
I installed them in my 2001 subaru 2.5 engine. They would cause Misfire and skipping after 3000 rpm. Dont wast your money.



5 out of 5 stars Performance is better.   October 8, 2009
Mark S. Schaffer (Las Vegas, NV USA)
Having my mechanic install these plugs has made a really noticeable difference in performance for our 2001 Toyota Echo. I have tracked mileage for at least ten tanks before this change and expect some improvement in gas mileage as well. The bonus is the 100,000 mile warranty so rather than replacing plugs every 30,000 miles these will reduce the number of plugs we should have to buy.


3 out of 5 stars not too impressed   October 3, 2009
fishin fool (northern california)
I have a toyota tundra 6 cyl. pu truck. This is the first time I have tuned it up and installed the e3 spark plug. I have noticed a slight, more crisp, throttle response, but, no big deal. I have not yet monitored the gas mileage. I think I would have had the same response with the original brand new denso plugs it came with. But, If I get a couple of miles more per gallon, I'll say it was worth it. We'll see what happens until then.


2 out of 5 stars Bad Spark Plug   September 22, 2009

I bought a set of eight plugs for my 2007 Dodge Ram 4.7L. Everything was fine for the first 6 hours then I had a misfire on one of the plugs. I did some troubleshooting, removed and reseated all the ignition coils and still couldn't get the misfire to go away. I took it to the nearest Car X for service thinking I screwed something up. After two hours on the diagnostic machine, it turned out to be a bad plug which cost me $70 to fix. This is the FIRST plug I ever had go bad after 6 hours. I am waiting for the other ones to go bad and cost me even more. Not very impressed so far.


1 out of 5 stars SCAM   September 8, 2009

don't fall for any gimmicky spark plugs. they are a scam. there is only one spark that jumps the electrode per cycle. just like the scam that was floating around with the split-fire spark plugs. just like the scam that was floating around with the magnet on the fuel line. just like the...
