How it works...
Pulstar® spark plugs use an innovative plasma-assisted combustion technology to generate more horsepower, more torque, and quicker throttle response. Features a capacitor, developed with help from a US Department of Energy laboratory, to store energy that creates a high-intensity electrical pulse which saturates the fuel with combustion-enhancing plasma, ensuring instant ignition and a rapid burn.
-
THROTTLE RESPONSE
Instant ignition and a more complete burn means your vehicle responds quickly. You’ll really feel the difference when pulling away from a stop.
-
TORQUE
Pulstar’s rapid burn creates higher peak pressure on the piston; applying more torque on the crank shaft, resulting in more power to your wheels.
-
HORSEPOWER
Burning more fuel during the power stroke means you get the most power from your fuel. Laboratory and dyno testing has repeatedly shown gains in horsepower.
-
FUEL ECONOMY
Pulstar burns fuel efficiently, ensuring fuel isn’t wasted. Whether you see an improvement in power, fuel economy, or both depends on how you drive.
What is pulsed power?

To form a spark, a vehicle’s ignition coil will slowly (relative to the process) inductively increase the voltage delivered to the spark plug until enough voltage is being delivered to allow electricity to bridge the air-fuel mixture between the center electrode and ground strap of the spark plug. This is known as achieving breakdown voltage. Pulstar Spark Plugs use a patented internal capacitor to store this energy prior to achieving breakdown voltage. When a spark is formed the energy stored in the capacitor is released in a quick and powerful pulse. This pulse is equal to 5,000,000 watts and takes approximately three nanoseconds to complete. The intense converts a portion of the gaseous air-fuel mixture into a highly excited plasma that conditions the fuel mixture to ignite immediately and burn efficiently.
