Ron:
Can't say that I have tried them, but Vizard in his book "Tuning the
a-series engine" really endorses this type of technology. This is the same
idea used in the Nology Wires, which add a capacitor to the spark circuit to
store and then release the spark energy. He saw an honest 2% increase in
power. Not enough to feel in the seat of your pants, but measurable on the
dyno. After all the BS claims out there about magnetic fuel energizers, split
electrode spark plugs, and air intake vortex generators, here is an idea that
really seems to work.
The Pulstar plugs are the same idea, but move the circuit into the
plug. Nology has a patent on the spark plug wire idea, so this bypasses their
patent. My only gripe is that the Nology wires are a one time buy, whereas
with Pulstars every time you change your plugs there goes $100. Nology does
not offer a set of wires for the TR6 that I have been able to tell, although
it looks easy to build your own set.

Sounds almost too good to be true. Has anyone else tried these? what was

Subject: [TR] Pulstar Pulse plugs
In a post some time back, someone mentioned trying Pulstar Pulse
plugs. They have a pulse circuit that build energy like a camera
flash. I was skeptical at $25 each, but I'm gullible too:) I put them
in the TR6 last night after pulling a perfectly good set of NGK's out
that had perfect color. I was amazed to find when I turned the key
after the car had been sitting almost a month, that the engine seemed to
jump to life. It idled nicer and I was able to take off the choke
before I was out of the driveway. Normally it needs choke for a mile or
so when it's this cold(30 F). I cant say if there's more horsepower or
better fuel economy, but It definitely ran nicer than before. Before
the idle tended to be a bit lumpy due to the cam and roller rockers and
very light flywheel. It actually felt much smoother. They might not be
worth $25 a plug, but if you need a Christmas present for the
car.......could be worth a try. John Mitchell 76 TR6
