anybody have...
the Pulstar pulse plugs....gonna buy em for my car tomorrow....just thought i'd hear some input.
|
no just use stock replacements.
|
The idea behind the plugs is a good idea, however they don't do a damn thing. Infact, they can cause problems.
|
They look pretty interesting, I don't know how much it'll help us though, considering that prius got only 5mpg more and they probably had it running as a generator and not in direct drive mode to get that kind of gas mileage to start with.
For us, I don't know man the bigger spark might ignite the gas better and faster everytime, but if thats what it says on their website, be sure you send them the bill for the new motor if they do mess it up haha... |
no no no no no.
DO NOT BUY THESE... They may work for other applications, but the ecotechs do NOT like these .. at all... The tips break off and some times parts of the insulator.. not good. |
Hey shortstack...do all cobalts not like these? or is it only the distributor based cobalts? or the COP cobalts?

I have the pulstar pulse plugs and have ran on em over 40k miles...they work great...the thing to remember is...DO NOT use a socket with a rubber insert...use one w/o a rubber insert...those inserts can crack or splinter the plugs....my balt has ran great on em for a long time now..I can get over 50mpg on some stretches...
let me know if you have any ?s |

I believe it was Modified Magazine that did dyno testing on these and gained something like 15WHP on a bone stock 350Z.Now they did not do any MPG testing so I dont know how long they last but one thing I do know is there expensive as F**k.$25 a plug

I didnt know we had distributors.. Please inform me of the years....Lol. No stock cobalt came with a distributor, only the cavis did.
no offense but isnt there a thread where you get flamed to hell over this dumb bullshit? You should post that to this guy so he is more educated and doesnt follow mass media... and no flaming on me about anything like this at all, recently or otherwise |

WRONG...several cobalt owners complained a long time ago regarding the Bosch +4s not being of good quality and killing their car over and over, well it turns out the difference between those of us and the 05/06's complaining was we had Coil on Plug and they had ignition coils (newer version of the oldschool distributor coils) that kept being blown out...

For godsake do NOT use those plugs. They are a waste of money for this car... a nice irridium or platinum plug will perform just as good as those!
