stroking Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 these plugs are suppose to make more power and have a much better burn rate,i was thinking of trying it on a alcohol motor to see what it does.......what ya'll think ?

FireHead Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Spark plugs are one of my soap box items........ Properly functioning, spark plugs will not make you any more power........ I don't care who made them. It's one of those items that has been developed to top of it's performance potential and doesn't have much room to move ahead. The development room that is left with them is in robustness and longevity. With that said, the E3 plugs use the multiple ground strap scheme, which I like, and has been used very sucessfully in aviation and racing since the 1940's. The idea behind this is that you have a better oppotunity to have maximum spark performance through having more options than one for the path of least resistance. You also have less of a chance of having a misfire. The E3 plugs are not the only plugs on the market that use this design. Bosch has 2 and 4 strap plugs, while Splitfire has a forked single strap (I hate Splitfire plugs and wires as they were engineered to sell rather than to perform properly). The best thing you will see from these plugs is easier starting, more consistant spark related performance, and hopefully a longer plug life (nice to have in a two stroke). I don't know for sure what you will see with these plugs in a Banshee as I have not tested them. However, I do think that they are not as expensive as some of their competition and at their price point, they are worth a try. Let us know what you think of these things after you have run them for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Waste of Money. x2. if you have a fouling issue, this plug will not do anything, if not make it worse. problem being, it has too many paths to choose, not keeping them clean unless it fires from one point all the time. however, it may help shield from spark blow-out with the obstructive electrode design. for pouling resistance, you want a small center electrode as found in platnum and iridium plugs. the irridium properties allow enough strength for sizes ranging from .7-.4mm in an open element. also, it has the highes conductivity properties through the core of the material leaving less resistance for the electrons to flow once the surface of the metal builds resistance from deposits. the platnum electrode is nearly as conductive, and has 2x the wear life, but is verry britle, and would not withstand any deto shock. on the E3 plugs, they are just a cheap plug with a new design, and cannot be gapped, but there also is many more factors in the design that may or may not work well/better for alky use. they shouldn't do any harm, using the proper heat range, and do not cost much, if you can find the right ones, so i say give them a shot or 2 and see what you come up with. oh, and o've only seen the bosh +4's perform like total garbage in larger motors, but they do look purdy....
