i was considering geting new plugs soon along with my oil change due in about 1.5k miles and i found these pulstar plugs in a magazine they claim to increase mpg hp and torque anyone heard of these plugs? tried the plugs? any info on them would be great last i checked they are $25 a pop which is pricey but if the claims are true then meh give it a shot

If you believe the claims, you should buy them

actually, there was a dyno tune done in one of the magazines on a stock 350z, it actually made 8 rwhp, I just sold a set to a mazda speed 6, the car had an issue with falling on it's face after 5k, replaced it with the pulstars, and it went away.

Now what I'm saying that there are results, but with the MSRP of 25 bucks a pop (Shameless plug: I sell them for 20 a pop), it really comes down if it's worth it, this spark plug isn't the wonder cure for everything, and it doesn't give you a million horsepower, but they do work; even though my testing a butt dyno was used. I think that if this is your daily then I'd just buy some regular NGK.

*The pulstar plugs only have a few heat ranges, they are not intended with super crazy mad boost, or race cars

i might try em if i decide to go V8 sometime in the future...they look very promising though $200 for a few HP it might deter some buyers...

If you think about what you could spend on a N/A motor to break the 200whp mark (goood luck i6 or v8), you could have swapped in a 1JZGTE and do over 300whp with better fuel miledge.

Example:
Good intake: 200
Spark plugs: 120
Plug wires: 100
Headers: 500
Exhaust: 1000

That's nearly 2000 dollars in mods, to MAYBE get 200whp on a winter day at sea level on a dynojet.

Or you could just buy a 1JZGTE for $1200, leave your car bone stock everything else except a $50 MBC, and enjoy 13 second quarter mile times all day while experencing 5mpg better fuel miledge.

that seems about right but the motor cost 1200 and how much for installation? i was thinking a 2jzgte swap. (what a mbc?) but i was wondering since the motor is already a 2j could u bolt on a turbo manifold and pop a turbo on then spend alot on tuning and it would still be less then a swap?

Turboing a 2JZGE to make the power of a stock 1JZGTE with a MBC costs about twice as much. 300whp in a SC I wouldn't consider fast at all. "Fast" starts happening around the 450whp mark. Good luck making 450 reliable HP on a NA-T without breaking the bank.

You can install a 1JZGTE into your car for around $2000 total. It's easier to swap in a 1JZGTE then to turbo a 2JZGE also lol.
