From the Manufacturer
The Pulstar pulse plug represents the first technological advancement in spark plug design in the past 100 years. Enerpulse, the manufacturer of the Pulstar pulse plug, develops environmentally-friendly ignition products through the application of Pulsed Power Technology (PPT). Pulstar pulse plugs were designed to increase peak power of the spark plug so it can ignite gasoline in the engine's cylinder more completely with less cycle-to-cycle variation. The result is more engine torque, more horsepower, and better fuel economy.
 Test results show significant improvements over spark plugs.
View Larger | Better Fuel Economy
Pulstar pulse plugs improve engine efficiency at the very moment of ignition by increasing the spark volume and energy density. Increasing the energy density of the spark makes ignition more precise with less cycle-to-cycle variation resulting in better fuel economy and driving performance than available from spark plugs.
Increase Horsepower and Torque
Pulstar pulse plugs look and fit like spark plugs, but incorporate an internal capacitor to deliver a spark 10 times more powerful than a spark plug. This faster ignition burns more of the fuel in the combustion chamber, generating more pressure in the cylinder. The increased cylinder pressure pushes the piston down with more force, which in turn, generates more torque to the crankshaft, more liveliness to the throttle, and more power to the wheels.
 The Pulse circuit releases a powerful pulse of power.
View Larger | Test Data
Recent tests demonstrate that Pulstar pulse plugs improved the fuel economy on 2005 and 2007 Prius Hybrid vehicles by 6% to 8%, or approximately 3-mpg. This 3-mpg increase produced by Pulstar means that over its life of approximately 4 years, carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions will be reduced by 1,344 pounds or over half a ton, making it evident even small changes like changing your spark plugs can translate into big differences for the planet.
Product Guarantee
Pulstar pulse plugs are safe to use in all vehicles. They come with a 30-day no questions asked return policy and are guaranteed not to void your car's manufacturer warranty or damage your engine when properly installed.

 5 Days, so far so good May 21, 2008

I installed the BE-1 plugs on my 2007 Renault Clio 1.6L, 16 valves, 110 HP and 6,700 Km (4,165 miles). With only 5 days in the car and a little more than 100 miles with them, I can only give an opinion not supported by hard data. I know that this car is not available in the US, but it is similar to other subcompacr 5 door hatchbacks with small engines. Renault and Nissan are managed by the same CEO.
The only modification that I have in the engine is a K&N 57i air filter and now these plugs. My first impression is a more stable idle. This car used to have lots of variations while idling (normal on all Clios) which the K&N improved and now with the plugs feels smoother. It's worth mention that I'm in Mexico City at 2,240 meters above sea level (7,400 feet).
Second impression is a more linear acceleration. Renault Mexico advertises that this car can do 9.9 second 0-60 MPH (I bet that's at sea level). It had a sluggish start and around 2,500 starts to pick up until the revs limiter kicks in. With the plugs it feels quicker from the beginning.
Too soon to tell on fuel economy, will try to update this information in a few weeks when I run a few tanks.
Something that I noticed is that the temperature gauge is 1 click above what it used to be, but still well within the normal temperature range.
My driving is mostly on city traffic doing a lot of Stop & Go. It takes me 40 minutes to do the 10.5 miles between home and work.
 Worth it so far... June 18, 2008

Easy to install. These are very fragile (as stated on the instructions) so don't drop them. Also, they do NOT come pregapped so ensure you gap them according to your vehicle specifications.
After installing these, I immediately noticed that my truck (purchased new in 2005) ran extremely smoothly. After taking it out on the road, the acceleration was incredible. Also, although I haven't filled the tank back up since installing these, I have noticed that my gas needle is falling a lot slower and I already have more than a previous tank's mileage and I still have 1/4 tank left. These have increased my mileage significantly, as well as acceleration and vehicle noise and just the smoothness at which it idles. I have no doubt these will pay for themselves within a year, especially since I'm taking a 4,000 mile trip in two weeks. I hope to remember to update this post with my average mileage, but I know they have already helped. Remember, these may not work on all vehicles the way they have on mine (I have an eight cylinder truck that previously only got 13 mpg) so your mileage may vary:) Good Luck!! They have been worth the cost so far. One last thing - while installing these, remove your negative battery cable to reset the car's computer. Even though I did this, my engine light came on after about 10 miles. After resetting the computer again, I've had no additional problems and don't expect to. It runs great! Oh, now one final thing - don't know if it's still available, but Amazon was offering a $10 discount on the purchase of four of these plugs. I have searched for several months for a deal (yes, even on the popular auction site) and they all were exactly the same price per plug - $24.95. So, if Amazon still has the discount, this is your best deal. Not to mention the FREE SHIPPING!! The free shipping took about seven days to arrive, but it was well worth it as others were charging a lot for shipping these. Best deal I could find!

I installed the Pulstar plugs in my 2008 Subaru Outback. I had been getting 27 - 27.2 MPG. The plugs have about 700 miles on them and the MPG has increased to 28.5 under the same conditions. The instructions say that you should give it a couple of tanks of gas before the computer recognizes the plugs and appears that this is true. The car seems to have more "Pick Up". At the present MPG it will take about 15000 miles before pay back is achieved.

I put these plugs on an 03 Acura CL-S 6pd wit 78,000 miles on it. Didn't improve anything. I guess they think it helps gas mileage by making your wallet lighter. Har har har... Stick with OEM.
