Pulstar BE-1 Pulse Plug, Pack of 2
- Pulse plugs are made to increase fuel economy, horsepower and torque by burning fuel more efficiently
- Helps reduce green house gases by as much as 10%, based on fuel-savings estimate
- Pulse plugs increase horsepower and torque by providing 10 times more peak power than spark plugs; generating more pressure in the cylinder and greater torque to crankshaft
- Guaranteed not to void the manufacturers warranty or damage any engine when properly installed
- Made in the USA
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.

Summary: Didn't work 2008-08-18
Comment: I put these plugs in and my Honda Ridgeline barely ran. I followed all the instructions, unplugged the battery to reset the computer, properly gaped them etc. I ended up putting my old plugs back in and shipping them back. There were no issues returning them and being refunded.

Summary: One of many false claims to increase power or milage 2008-08-16
Comment: Over the years I have seen many claims to increase power or milage by inserting something into the ignition system. Usually I am resistant to them. But, reading about the Pulstar plugs I reasoned there just might be something to their claim. After all, the video at their web site illustrates a far hotter, and better spark.
My vehicle is a Jeep Wrangler, with an in-line 6 cylinder engine. At 500 miles I replaced the factory NGKs with Bosch +4. I keep a detailed milage log, out of habit. At 91,000 miles I decided to change the Bosch as I noticed my usually miserable highway mpg (19.2) had decreased to really miserable mpg (17.8).
Amazon is an excellent resource for many items I buy. Plus, I use Prime, so shipping is usually one cost for the entire year. Perusing through Amazon I stumbled upon the Pulse Plug.
Years ago, when there existed coils and distributors, a similar product claimed similar results. Insert this neat little device on the line from the coil to the distributor and said device would ramp up the voltage thus delivering a much hotter spark at the spark plug which will greatly improve your engines performance and your miles to the gallon of fuel. I bought one, and found the claim false.
Yet, the Pulse claims interested me. I bought 3 packs of 2 Pulse plugs. Math will disclose the total cost of my thoughts.
Now when your engine requires fresh spark plugs, any brand (properly matched to your engine) will deliver better performance and better mpg. Why else would you change your plugs?
So I was expecting some improvements in the engine, and increased mpg, from a fresh set of spark plugs. But, I was expecting more from the Pulse Plug. The Pulse plugs arrived and I had my mechanic install them.
One plug was defective and required replacement. Rather than go through Pulse, I returned it to Amazon. Amazon has a great customer service attitude, and easy return policy. (No, I do not work for nor do I have any financial consideration from Amazon). The new Pulse plug arrived promptly.
With a full set of 6 Pulse plugs in, and firing, I took a trip to see if my engine's performance changed.
Yes, my mpg was 19.8, the best I have recorded since before the engine had 20,000 miles on it. There seemed to be an improvement. The engine ran smoothly. There was a static hiss on the radio and CDs that was not there before.
Then, the ECU went out. I do not blame the Pulse plugs for this, but, the mechanic was not as sure.
Prior to replacing the ECU, the mechanic replaced the Pulse plugs on the chance that they were the problem. A fresh set of Bosch +4s went in. No change, so in went a new ECU ($600). The problem resolved.
The mechanic showed me the Pulse plugs. The ends were pitted, the porcelain protecting the electrodes were eroding, and the plug looked worse than the Bosch I had removed with 90,000 miles on them. The mechanic reasoned that the Pulse plugs were either not the correct ones for my engine, or sparked so hot that they would not last very long.
New ECU and fresh Bosch plugs in, I went on the same road trip. Milage was 20.1, engine ran smooth. Better milage with cheaper plugs. No noticeable change in performance between the Pulse plugs and fresh Bosch.
In the end the Pulse plugs delivered nothing extra. So, to answer the real question "is it worth it", from my perspective, no. Their high cost; lack of any mpg increase over cheaper plugs; no discernible power increase provided no reason to spend as much for the Pulse plugs as three sets of the Bosch.
In the end I found that for the same cost, a set of Bosch plugs and a longer visit at my local brew pub, suited my needs better.

Summary: 4% (or more) boost in gas mileage, and easy to install myself! 2008-08-13
Comment: I've driven 650 miles since putting in 4 plugs in my '95 Toyota Corolla on Aug. 4. My mpg have increased from about 30 to at least 31.5. The increase might be as much as 7%, or even more, but the variables make it difficult to know the exact result: My tires were underinflated about 2 to 4 psi before installing the Pulstars, the fillup of the gas tank varies, etc., etc. On some fillups I have calculated a 7% to 10% increase in mpg.
My car has gone about 17,000 miles since it was tuned up. Replacing the Denso brand plugs took about 1/2 hour, after I had the anti-seize lubricant, the gapping tool, & the spark plug socket.
If your vehicle has an aluminum engine block, be sure to buy anti-seize grease to apply to the plugs' threads, so that the plugs can be easily removed later. Enerpulse neglected to mention this in their installation instructions. They did include dielectric grease, however.
A mechanic friend assured me that I didn't need a torque wrench to tighten the plugs properly. All you need to do is follow the simple instructions enclosed with the plugs. I've never changed out spark plugs before, & I had no problem.
I expect to continue to enjoy a "great bang for my buck," because the cost of these plugs is very low compared to the increase in fuel economy, & I drive 2,000 miles per month, so in 3 mon. the plugs will have paid for themselves.
By the way, 2 other products sold on Amazon which you should consider are:
-HHO (gas) generator kits, which can be installed by you or your mechanic. My brother's van went 38% further on a gal. of gas!
-The book, "Alcohol Can be a Gas", by David Blume. This book has risen as high as #15 on Amazon's bestseller list, I'm told. Your car can run on inexpensive home-distilled alcohol!

Summary: Waist of time and money 2008-08-12
Comment: This product failed to work in my 2004 Honda Accord. The plugs gave a static sound over the radio and caused the radio to cut out at about 3000 rpm. I contacted the company to ask them what could be causing this and they suggested that the first set of plugs I got were faulty and that I should order a replacement set. Upon installation of the 2nd set, same results occurred. The fact is that these plugs have no resistance in them and are not designed for use in all Honda Accords. Do not order these plugs, they are a waist of money.
