Nickel Plated Terminal End- Corrosion protection at the main contact point with your engine's ignition system. Projected Insulator Tip- We have the deepest projections in the Industry, promoting better spark-zone refreshing between power strokes, without any negative side effects. Spark Gaps Tailored to Your Engine- Unlike other 'premium' spark plugs that use a 'one size fits all' gap policy, E3 Spark Plugs have carefully optimized spark gaps chosen to maximize performance for each application.
| E3 Spark Plug's patented (US Patent # 6.495.948) ground electrode design provides for more efficient burning of your vehicle's air/fuel vapor, leading to more pressure in the cylinder. These improvements are measurable, and confirmed as compared to the designs found in existing spark plugs. The DiamondFIRE electrode projects the spark further into the combustion chamber, bringing it closer to the most robust air/fuel mixture. The initial combustion wave leaves the spark area at supersonic speeds, and the elevated edge provides a chimney effect so the next round of air/fuel mixture gets into the spark zone more easily. | The E3 ground electrode design forces edge-to-edge spark discharge, which is the best way to get a spark to leave a surface. 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. |
