Guest PROJECTRB240SX Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 COULD BE A REPOST BUT I TRIED SEARCHING..... I WISH I COULD GET A SET OF THESE FIRESTORM PLUGS.

grumpyvette Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 the one function of any spark plug is to ignite the compressed air/fuel mix efficiently as the piston approaches tdc, the number of degrees before varies with the application, octane, cpr,fuel atomization, cylinder heat,quench and other factors in your combo.if your current ignition does that (ignites the compressed air/fuel mix efficiently as the piston approaches tdc,) (youll not be improving it with a unique plug! they claim a 44%-50 increase in MPG, right there you know this guys full of B.S with a neon B.S. flashing before your eyes this is the same class of crap as the magnets that IONISE YOUR GAS or the TORANADO that swirls more power into your engine! theres a SUCKKER BORN EVERY MINUTE, and thats what they count on! if your looking for better ignition get a MSD ignition or a NOLOGY IGNITION that gives far hotter spark, much improved energy and MULTIPLE sparks, both increase the burn efficincy far more than ANY spark plug swap can potentially do! http://www.nology.com/products.html http://www.msdignition.com/ BTW if you do buy it youll need these to get it to work correctly http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7967383856&category=33741 a $24 fan that sells for $95 (above) http://www.accupressurecaps.com/family.asp?fam_id=ZTFS&CAT= a $35 roof turbine impeller (sells for $70) http://www.magnetcity.net/fuel.htm 3 magnets,you cuold buy for under $12 http://store.yahoo.com/engineionizer-store/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PROJECTRB240SX Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I Actually Have A Msd Digital 6 And Pro-billet With The 50k Volt Coil.... It Was Just Worth A Shot And At $1.50 A Plug It Can't Be Any Worse Than Buying Those Bosch +4 Plugs That Are About As Worthless As A Bag Of Crap. I Really Repect Your Opinion And Was Hoping You'd Chime In. While I Got You On The Subject... The Msd Setup I Have Is Far From Compact And Was Looking At Getting Their New Full Electronic Distributor That Has A Built In Cd System, Do You Think I Should Stick With What I Got Or Use That? The Car Is Mainly Going To Be A Driver With Some Power For Fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyvette Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 "Do You Think I Should Stick With What I Got Or Use That?" swapping from a correctly set up MSD ignition running the suggested ignition wires,coil, and distributor (which I think is what you have now) is not likely to show any noticable improvement swapping to a controller built into the distributor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PROJECTRB240SX Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 The Ignition Was Off Of A Nova Bracket Race Car... I Got It From A Co-worker For Dirt On The Dollar, The Reason I Am Considering The Msd E-distributor Is Our Z's Have Very Little Space As It Is Let Alone Enough Flat Area To Mount A Large Ignition Box With Good Cool Air Flow. The Reason I Was Asking Is If It Would Be Wise To Transfer It Over To A Car Setup For The Street From A Bracket Only Race Car Or Go With Something More Compact.

grumpyvette Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 if its clearance problems your solving, then yeah, the newer built in ignitions are much smaller and compact, yet work reasonably well, just don,t expect a major hp increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PROJECTRB240SX Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I Actually Wouldn't Expect Anything But A Decrease.... Thanks For Your Opinion. So Now My Options Are Move The Battery To The Back And Mount The Ignition Box In Its Place Or Sell The Setup And Buy A More Compact Setup. Damn Choices, I Wish It Was Just Cut And Dry.

grumpyvette Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 personally Id move the battery and re-install the current ignition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
