Product Description E3 has taken the best features from traditional spark plugs, such as cut-back ground electrodes and surface gaps, and combined them to create a new ground electrode design.á Surface gap plugs present the flame kernel to the piston (or rotor) more directly, reducing the travel time from the spark to the combustion gases (Although this difference is only measurable in hundred-thousands of a second, at 5000 RPM, they can add up). This avoids the "doughnut" shaped flame front created by standard spark plug electrodes.á This is achieved in the E3 design through the open section at the top of the ground electrode.á E3 spark plugs combine the benefits of additional sharp electrode edges with a cut-back electrode design used on some racing spark plugs.á The increase of available edge-to-edge surface area encourages a more rapid spark discharge while also reducing quenching and shadowing.á The three legs that support the special geometry of E3's automotive plug ground electrode aid in heat dissipation for longer electrode life.á The center electrode on E3 spark plugs is created from a nickel alloy with a copper center core for both improved conductivity as well as heat dissipation.
Amazon.com Product Description
| E3 Automotive spark plugs are a clear breakthrough in spark plug technology. Developed by researchers from leading engineering universities, E3's patented electrode design allows for a better spark, and resulting more complete flame kernal and flame front extending off the electrode, producing better overall localized pressure inside your vehicle's cylinders. This in turn leads to the fuel/air mixture injected into the cylinder being more cleanly consumed, lessening the level of greenhouse gases emitted, increasing energy efficiency and generating more horsepower. A breakthrough in spark plug technology. View larger. | DiamondFire electrode design increases cylinder combustion. View larger. | More power and better fuel efficiency, with fewer emissions. View larger. | Why You Need E3 Spark Plugs As the designated catalyst for the ignition of fuel in gasoline powered cars, trucks, motorcycles and small engines, spark plugs are a small, but constant factor in the workings of the vast majority of motorists on the road. What these motorists may not know is that their choice of spark plug could play a significant role in reducing the level of greenhouse gases that their vehicles give off, as well as increasing overall fuel economy and potential power output. This is where E3 Spark Plug's DiamondFire technology comes in. DiamondFire Technology For the last 100 years, the only real advance in consumer spark plug technology has been to develop ways to make them cheaper. E3 Spark Plug's DiamondFire technology changes all of that through an improved electrode design that provides for more efficient burning of your vehicle's air/fuel vapor, leading to more pressure in the cylinder. These improvements are measurable, confirmed and based on the following design elements found in existing performance spark plugs. First, the DiamondFire electrode directs the flame kernel to the piston more directly, reducing the travel time from the spark zone to the end gases via the open section at the top of the electrode. Given the short time available to get combustion started, the faster you can get the flame to the piston, the better. Second, the physical features of the electrode project further forward into the combustion chamber. This brings the spark zone closer to areas of probable "good" air/fuel mixture and also creates beneficial "micro-aerodynamics" within the spark zone. The initial combustion wave leaves the spark area at supersonic speeds above Mach 1, and the elevated edge provides a kind of chimney effect so the next round of air/fuel mixture gets into the spark zone more easily. Finally, the E3 electrode design features forced edge-to-edge spark discharge, which is the best way to get a spark to leave a surface. This improves upon the phenomena that drove race car drivers to "cut back" ordinary electrode spark plugs in order to improve the spark discharge. The spark itself occurs only when an avalanche of electrons migrates from the two electrodes (anode to cathode). Sharp edges are better at initiating electron migrations, and these accelerated electrons collide with matter inside the spark zone to release additional electrons. This design ensures that the whole population of electrons works to create a plasma channel through which the spark current flows more easily, resulting in an increase in both power output and fuel economy, while reducing emissions in gasoline engines and the build up of carbon deposits on engine surfaces. Key Features: - DiamondFire electrode technology that creates a superior spark and resulting flame front extending further into the cylinder, producing more localized pressure.
- Power increased > 6% to 12% (depending on engine class).
- Fuel efficiency improved > 4% to 13% (depending on engine class).
- Emissions reduced in 2 and 4-stroke engines (after 50 hours).
- 58% CO emissions reduction.
- 42% hydrocarbon reduction.
- Near elimination of performance inhibiting carbon deposits.
- Dramatically longer plug life.
- 5-year/100,000 mile limited warranty.

Seems To Work April 23, 2008 M. Anderson (USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just installed a set of these plugs on my 2004 Chevy Silverado 4WD 5.3L gas engine after watching Horsepower on the Powerblock channel. The dyno test on Horsepower showed a 5.5hp increase and slightly better gas savings over platinum tipped plugs that were also tested. So, I got mine for $5.99 from Summit Racing, as they had the size I needed. These come pre-gapped for your application. Not that 5.5hp is a whopping increase, but I have noticed the throttle response is a little better and when I put my foot into it, the truck has a little more giddyup. The results on gas mileage are still out. But, that's not why I bought them in the first place. If you can pick up 5.5hp just by changing plugs and at a fair price. Why not?
works better than bosch in motorcycle!! February 14, 2010 Ed A. Dehne (boise) I have an older BMW 1100 gs they tend to have this wierd and irritating hesitation in the fuel injection system. The new bikes went to a dual spark plug configuration to eliminate the problem. I went to the e3 plugs . They work great! I could no long find the hesitation in the throttle. I couldnt believe it so I switched back to the all famous bosch platnium plugs. well it only took me a few minutes to switch back to the e-3 and they have been in there for three years now and still work great. I didnt notice a milege or horsepower increase but that wasnt the reason I tried them. I don't know if I will make to 100,000 miles with them but they have a good 20,000 miles in them and still gong strong.
Short Life February 19, 2010 Timothy G. Parrish (Orlando, Florida USA) Although these plugs seemed to increase fuel efficiency, their lifespan was about half of other spark plugs I use. These were installed on a 2004.5 VW Jeta GLI. The regular service interval for the Jetta's 1.8L engine is about 40K miles. The E3's didn't make it past 20K miles. After about 12K miles, my car began having idling issues. I had random misfires on all cylinders, and toward the end of their life (about 18K miles), I had a bad misfire on cylinder one. When I pulled the plugs to replace them, some of the electrodes had a noticeable warped shape. These plugs just don't seem to have long-term potential.
Where's the economy? August 24, 2007 Lisa G (Willits, CA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've had these "green plugs" installed in my 2002 Subaru Outback for about 6 months and have yet to see any fuel savings. I suspect, however, that the fault is due to my computer being too "smart". I've been told that the computer senses less fuel coming out of the system due to the fuel savings of more efficient burning, and consequently dumps more gasoline into the fuel injector! So much for "economy"!
limited to 3 spark plugs? May 10, 2009 Paul S (Williston, Vermont United States) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was going to order this item. When I went to checkout the quantity was changed from 6 to 3. It said this is a limited quantity item. Why would I only want 3 when my audi is a six cylinder? This is a stupid policy. If it said this on the product page I would not have put it in my cart. Instead, I had to waste time going through checkout only to find I coul not order the number of items I needed.I think I'll start doing my shopping elsewhere.
