Pretty defensive eh I'm sure you guys probably are quite adept at what you're doing, but I'd be interested to see the dyno pages when you get them. I, like you, would like some proof on paper before I come to any conclusions.

From all that I've seen of the dynos, it's just been comparison of used Denso Iridiums vs. new Torquemasters, why no new Densos for a good comparison baseline to the Torquemasters?

I'll get back to you on the misfires--I don't keep a tally, just from what I've read over time from other TM users here on CL.

Also, from what you NorCal gusy have seen how durable are the TMs? Has anyone run them over 80k miles, or would your recommend changing them sooner (say every 24k miles vs. the 90-120k for the Densos)? I'm not saying 1 is better or the other, but I'd like to see more proof before I believe 1 way or another.

 

Thanks for the update, be interested to see what you guys find out in the coming summer months--keep us posted

 

Not sure if this is ever going to happen. I ran my OEMs until 55k and swapped them out for the TMs. I have about 75k now so I don't even have 80k in the car's lifetime yet much less on the TMs. I have a feeling the other guys are in the same boat.

I probably will swap them out before the plugs have 80k on them.

nonono, dn't get me wrong, i take no positions on the tm plugs, although i haev them on my car. i am just as curious as anyone here to see whether these stuff is good too. but like you said we all want to be scientific and get something that's meaningful. trust me all of us here are working on it

 

Cool--glad we're on the same page. I, too, am very interested in what these TorqueMaster spark plugs amount to--whether it's just all smoke and noise or if there is some real, reproducible benefit from using them over the OEM Denso Iridiums.

Pass on the complete info when you Norcal guys get some definitive answers in the coming months from your guys' work. . .

 

Hi,
Sorry for interrupting(jacking) the thread, and all the heated debate about proof of Dynoes. I just ordered a set of TM from Carson Toyota, and hopefully install them later this weekend.

I have a question related to crisp response, better idle, and more sparks in the chambers. Have anyone used the HKS Twin Ignition Pak on a GS3/4 before? I was reading a Tuner magazine that had an article with the HKS Twin Pack on a Supra, and SC300. I was wandering why havent I seen it in a GS?

 

Make it a 6-8 pack for the GS, each plug has it's own coil.

 

Does having the HKS Ignition pak help at all or interfere with our ecu?

 

not on the 2jz-ge in the gs300. it's the same as the IS, 3 coil packs.




IMO there's no problem w/ ignition unless you go f/i so there's no gain. the ignition functions more than adequetly for the stock car w/ simple bolt-ons. There's lower hanging fruit then this device.
