Spark plugs types come in a variety of different sizes and materials. Different spark plugs can offer increased fuel efficiency, better engine response, smoother idle, and easier starting. Certain spark plug types are hot, others are cold.Pulstar spark plugs offer something completely unique: an ultra-high intensity, electrical discharge at the gap with more precise timing than any other product on the market.

Pulstar created completely new spark plug types
Until Pulstar came along, spark plugs were classified by the types of metal they used: copper, platinum, double platinum, and iridium. But all these standard types of spark plugs still rely on the same old technology. We reinvented the spark plug by creating a plug that generates a spark releasing 20,000 times more power than regular spark plugs. Our spark plugs look the same as conventional plugs but offer improved combustion timing resulting in huge gains in efficiency.
Spark plug types
To understand what makes Pulstar plugs superior to other types of spark plugs, you need to understand the differences between each spark plug type.
Copper spark plugs
Copper spark plugs have a copper core and use a nickel alloy on the working end of the electrode the part that generates a spark. Both nickel and copper have relatively low melting points( 1,983 º and 2,642 º F, respectively), which means that the edge of these electrodes wears quickly–resulting in an increased gap in as little as 10,000 miles. This can result in a misfire, which lowers gas mileage and causes damage to the coil and ignition wires.
Platinum spark plugs
Platinum spark plugs generally have a platinum disc on the end of the electrode tip, which preserves the electrode edge with its higher melting point (3,218 º F). These spark plugs allow for longer use, usually 30-40 thousand miles and run a bit hotter than copper, which prevents fouling.
Iridium spark plugs
Iridium is harder than platinum and has an even higher melting point (4,442 º F), which allows these spark plugs to last about 25% longer than platinum spark plugs. They also have a smaller electrode tip diameter, which increases the spark efficiency and contributes to better engine function.
Pulstar spark plugs
Pulstar plugs goes beyond the benefits of these conventional plugs by adding an internal capacitor tp store energy and create a high-intensity electrical pulse when it is released. This pulse saturates the fuel with combustion-enhancing plasma, ensuring instant ignition and a rapid burn. The technology was developed with the help of the Department of Energy Sandia National Lab and it delivers a more powerful and consistent engine that starts quickly, idles smoothly, generates more torque, uses less fuel and produces fewer emissions.
Spark plug types for every engine
SHOP NOW Spark plugs are an essential part of internal combustion engines. The spark plug types you use have a powerful effect on the performance of your machines. Lawnmowers, motorcycles, jet skis and automobiles all depend on a tiny spark to deliver the power and performance we want from our motors. We have a spark plug for every type of engine. When you choose Pulstar spark plugs, you are choosing a different type of spark plug an upgrade from all the rest.
Pulstar spark plug types for improved performance
The right spark plug type will give you more power, quicker throttle response, and improved fuel economy. However, there are more benefits to choosing the right spark plug, including lower emissions and longer, more stable engine life. Our plugs may look and install just like conventional spark plugs, but the plasma-assisted combustion technology they use makes a massive difference to your engine. That's why it's important to make the right choice. Pulstar spark plugs improve your vehicle's performance in ways conventional spark plugs can't.
