[@bobthompson4319]

During startup did you notice any difference in how easy or how long it took to get the engine to start the engine?

[@bobthompson4319]

I wish you had a dynamometer to measure the power of engines. But its likely that the power of the Mighty Farmabago would destroy it lol.

[@bobthompson4319]

And i think the farmabago will make for a very useful large utility truck. Especially because of how tall it is. You can use it as a mobile platform for things like tree trimming and working on walls of houses ect. I think that part is a really cool thing to have. But it would be a good idea to build yourself a fence on top of it for safety. Im sure you could make something that you can easily out up and take down and that would be safe. You could also use a ladder on top of it to get extra height. But if you do do that then you should put the stability jacks down of the farmabago has them if not you should also make something that would work and be easy to use. A friend of mine had a scissor jack that had a hex to put the lug wrench on to turn it to raise up the jack and we used an impact wrench or drill to rasie it up. Its great for all kinds of things because of how fast you can raise the jack. So its easy to raise it up and put jack stands under cars because you just use the drill to zip up the vehicle put the stand under it then zip it down and go to the next one. Its better than pump pump pump. Lol. Just some ideas.

[@bobthompson4319]

Maybe you could test some jacks. Like floor jacks bottle jacks aftermarket scissor jacks to see how strong they are how easily you can raise up heavy things and how much effort it takes to pump the jack to get it to raise heavy things. So that way you and everyone can get the one they like for theyre loved ones when they need them in a bad situation on the side of the road. The time spent there can literally mean life or death.

[@swagpillage1917]

I agree

[@grayv-horse3443]

Yes, by showing me the efficiency of these other plugs is too minute to warrant the purchase. I purchased iridium plugs. They offer good benefits, don’t cost too much, and I change my engines more than the plugs (exaggeration but not at same time). I’ve got almost 100k miles on a batch and their gap is still the same as when inserted. My only question is what is the durability of these other plugs? New engines require massive work to even remove plugs nowadays and reducing frequency of plug changes trumps everything else.

[@exploranator]

@@ProjectFarm I have a comment regarding how long the generator lasts on any given spark plug. A more efficient plug can produce more efficient combustion, which can lead to more power produced, and a more energetic exhaust, which can mean better scavenging, which means more intake mixture, which means more fuel use, thus quicker usage of fuel. Thus, the best plug may not last as long running the generator. The Pulstar seemed top start the fuel burn more quickly, which is what led me to wonder about this. Maybe a dyno test with a known-quantity engine that is already well-broken in, that uses electronic fuel injection? It would be tedious, but a Hemi, for example (easily accessible but 16 plugs) could be put on the dyno to find what the plugs actually put out. You could also test plug orientation and see what, if any impact that had on the results. However, ironically, the plug that initiates combustion more rapidly may force a detonation situation more than the ones that initiate it more slowly, in which case the engine would pull timing and/or dump fuel to quell it. There are so many variables. One test you did NOT do was to see which plug produced the most kW of power. With a variable load, you could see which plug could produce the most power while maintaining the same RPM.

Just an update on the E3's... I ended up installing them from the information in this video. Initially, I noticed a reliable and constant 1-2 mpg increase, which I was happy about. But after driving with them for a while, they began to slowly taper off. I was suddenly getting my origional gas mileage, and then around 20,000 miles in, my gas mileage tanked. My engine also threw a P0420 code for a bad catalytic converter, and I suspected the spark plugs and incomplete burning of the fuel/air in the combustion chamber. I pulled them out, and sure enough, 2/4 had a much weaker spark than the rest. I replaced the plugs with NGK iridiums, and after driving 150-200 miles on the freeway my engine light went away and has not come back on since. So from my experience, they work well and do what they say they will. Just not for long!

[@Cyrops]

One thing that he's not testing, and there's a lot of negative feedback on the Pulstar plugs after installing them and driving. Misfires, fouling out are the biggest claims.

You should try Brisk Premium, it came with silver electrode, since silver can conduct more electricity more than iridum, platinum and copper, it generated bigger spark and more heat. I am currently using Brisk X-Line, it came with silver electrode as well and it is well proven on dyno machine, since i got more Nm torque and hp compare to the copper/iridium sparkplugs. However, i had to change them regularly every 5-9k miles bcause silver does not offer longer lifespan more than iridum and platinum.

[@superdupergrover9857]

For E3 plugs, I have heard a little bit from my customers I work at an auto parts store). The first bit is that they will melt if used for drag racing. But that's not relevant to most applications. A man who runs a lot of small equipment for his business swears by the things and claims extra power. From my own knowledge: NGK seems to have the fewest returns. I have seen a variance in gap of ten (10) one-thousandths of an inch (variance of 0.010") across four Autolite spark plugs from the same box. Some brands put a plastic or paper collar around the head and threads to protect the tip from hitting the end of the box during shipping. Autolite, Champion, and Motorcraft do not use these collars. NGK, Denso and Bosch use collars at least in my store.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great information. Thank you

[@MrPhatties]

Worth adding that a cooler plug is desirable for high boost applications, running too hot of a plug (ngk 8 rating for example) in a high boost (14+psi) setup will melt the plug. Hotter plugs will do better with medium compression naturally aspirated engines so there is a trade-off. Plug gapping also becomes critical at high boost so you don't blow out your spark at stock gaps.

[@lorenzhartl8466]

That would me so intresting

[@erroneum]

I would be cautious trying to use things like gas or ethanol in a diesel; it's not unheard of for the engine's fuel system to assume a certain minimum lubricity for the fuel that is beyond what those offer. Even if the particular engine was fine with it gas and ethanol wouldn't be as good as diesel simply because they, when properly atomized, are comparatively slower to burn and harder to ignite. On a related note I've always been curious if some blend of diesel (octane of about 60) and ethanol (octane of about 115) would burn adequately in a gas engine.

[@deuce1606]

@@erroneum Diesel fuel will not burn in a gas engine, however it will cause engine damage. I purchased a 63 dodge that the seller said had a bad engine. The truck had been parked for 10-11 years. At first I replaced the ballast resistor the truck would crank. After changing the oil/filter new water pump and replacing fuel lines it seemed promising. When I drained thes gas tank it had about 7 gallons of diesel. So I poured in fresh gas and to my surprise it fired up fairly quick. Let the thing run for about 2 hours till it ran out of gas checked the oil and it was gray and watery. My theory is the headgaskt went due to someone trying to run the truck on diesel.

[@erroneum]

DEUCE 1 If it was able to properly atomize the fuel then that would make some sense; diesel has a much lower octane rating than gas, so there would be substantial knocking. My guess based on the vintage, though, is that it was carbureated, so it wouldn't be able to handle how much less volatile the diesel was as well. It is possible that the leak was only tangentially related and that the previous owner accidentally tried running it on diesel and when it stopped working assumed the engine had failed and parked it.

I'd like to offer two suggestions to increase fuel consumption measurement precision: 1) Do not attach fuel container to the vibrating mower/generator. 2) Use a fuel container with a long slender neck or attach a length of translucent hose/tubing sealed to the container top (e.g., a plastic straw). Mark a line an inch or more below the top of the tubing. Top off with fuel slightly above the mark and begin countdown when fuel reaches mark. If enough fuel can be added above the mark to ensure fuel line is free of air by the time the mark is reached, you can eliminate the fuel line air purge run. -clb

It could be the plug, but there are many different things that can cause a misfire. Bad or weak coil, miss adjusted valves, bad fuel, etc. But if using a different brand plug does away with the misfire , then make the change. I had a friend who switched from Champion to NKG, and had the same problem. I adjusted his carburetor and that seems to have solved his problem. He later switched to the E3, had no problem.

I tried the e3 plug in my lawnmower that has a flathead B&S engine, and what I found out is that the plug fouled out sooner than just a plain-jane Champion plug that is sold for this engine. At first, the e3 made the engine run smoother, but it is a tired old beast, and a regular plug deals with a little oil burning better. I also tried the e3 in my '84 Chevy Citation with the 2.5 L 4 cylinder engine. They did not last nearly as long as the AC plugs I have used in it. Again, it ran smoother when the plugs were new, but they did not last as long.

[@daviddelle774]

Yeah, When used on an old tired engine like my old garden tractor, I was thinking that with the extra material built into that side electrode it would be cooler and allow for build-up to occur, fouling out the plug.

About E3 & Pulstar plugs. I run E3 in my high performance Fords. They do seem to give a milage advantage but foul out quicker than platinum plugs necessitating more changes. After years in parts sales, I have seen the pulstars burn up with higher than stock voltage systems, hence, I cannot run them in a 40K volt performance system. The higher voltage does seem to slightly shorten E3 life but E3s with higher voltage do seem to give slightly noticably better power over platinum plugs.

[@RossA-x2c]

Hi I used to work for a vehicle manufacturer calibrating the engine ECU. The biggest issue I found in my time calibrating was the problem of fouling plugs through multiple sub zero (-30 degree C) starts. I found that surface discharge were impossible to clear once fouled. Despite using a gas torch the plugs could never be recovered to allow successful starts a low temperatures, although they would be OK for starts at warmer temps. Multi electrode plugs also seem to suffer more problems with fouling. Additionally some engines are made with indexed plug threads and spark plugs. This is to ensure the plug electrode orientation in the combustion chamber is always the same (specifically for single electrode plugs). This is to avoid plug wetting and failed starts at low temperatures when the quantity of fuel required to start the engine can be 10 times that or more of that at warmer temperatures due to only the most volatile components of the fuel vapourising

Your scepticism is correct, I used to sell a similar sparkplug to the E3 called Bosch +4. The biggest issue with these designs was the increased carbon build up between the electrode and the tip. As I'm sure you're aware, electricity follows the path of least resistance, so the design of the tip, grounded electrode, doesn't necessarily matter. The E3 and Bosch +4 were most likely designed to sell rather than perform.

The biggest thing I'd hear about the "Bosch Platinum Plus 4" plugs was they burn too hot. Mechanics all seemed to say this, they said it would eventually cause oil consumption. The reason I believe that statement is after using them in a car, it started burning oil at higher RPMs, and I witness two other friends have the exact same result.

[@jimperphonic]

I'd like to see this experiment run again using surface gap plugs vs double iridium. I've run the Platinum+4 in a 5.7 Hemi Ram 1500 and a 1.8t Beetle. I've used the Pulstar plugs in a 2.0t Saab 9-3 with great results. NGK plugs are the best for Asian Imports, especially higher RPM V-Tech's. E3 is yard tool only for me.

During my career, I tested many aftermarket spark plug types on an engine dynamometer with very sophisticated equipment. Virtually none of the claims were valid. In fact, the plugs with nonconventional designs often exhibited "hot spots" during a wide open throttle (WOT) power, causing engine damaging pre-ignition. This is a VERY severe high load/rpm test on a large Otto-Cycle Engine. For my own car, I put in Bosch Iridium spark plugs and they are excellent! I have over 60,000 miles on these plugs and my engine is running "like a top". Generally when spark plugs are starting to wear out, cranking times will increase. If they are really worn out a high speed misfire may become apparent and set a MIL light. Engine-out hydrocarbons will also increase from incomplete combustion. I am going to change my plugs in 40,000 miles at the recommended interval. NGK makes a excellent spark plug too but I wouldn't touch those other ones due to my experience with pre-ignition. As for Autolite's claims, I would have to review the data with their engineers - I am skeptical. The small performance differences noted are well within test-to-test repeatability limits. I would just use the correct heat range Bosch or NGK Iridium plugs recommended and carefully install them - then see you in 100,000 miles. Overall another great job on the video and thanks!

Good to know

[@rhett7716]

U could say an iridium plug is an unconventional design, the manufacturers claim they make a performance and fuel economy improvement. Have u tested that claim on yr machine?? I know they last longer but .....

[@somemedic]

Does plug indexing make a difference in hotspots or preignition?

[@Shelboooooo]

@@rhett7716 He means different shape not material. And he is right especially in turbo applications the e3 plugs are terrible.

[@bupbup777]

Pulstar worked wonders! on my old car i used to have. It had lower compression and would have oil in it. It would burn it and run at a idle after installing it. Loved them!

Thanks for sharing.

[@jeffgriffith7003]

I bought a set of Pulstar plugs about 12 years ago for my Ford 2.3T powered 86’ Thunderbird Turbocoupe and 1 arrived cracked, They sent a replacement plug out overnight which was really cool of them. Over the course of four months they didn’t provide any noticeable improvements in economy or power but they started to crack and misfire towards the end of 4 months, after 2 cracked, I pulled the others out and went back to stock replacements, still no performance change or economy change, just wasted money on them. Back in the day I spent 200 bucks on 4 Pulstar plugs. I believe the capacitor inside the insulator took so much space that they needed a thinner (weaker) insulator and normal 4 cyl engine vibration was enough to crack them.

i wouldnt want to dirty his reputation he is a perfectly honest guy with all of his testing i dont want some manufacturer paying him to do any "special testing"

[@jesse75]

I really appreciate the testing. I build high compression racing engines. Something he can't test. But it gives a good starting point.

[@andihartono92]

for a race i believe iridium perform better than copper. it have higher melting point compare to copper.

[@russelldowling9171]

I love the mad scientist aspect of your videos. It always amazes me how you have come up with the tests you do. So far you’ve gotten me to try motorkote, ditched the k&n filter in my truck and put e3 plugs in my motorcycle. Keep up the madness. 👍🥂

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

Michial Phelps if you’re asking me that question it’s because they don’t seem to make it for my bike, and the e3’s were just about as good

[@anthonycoppotelli2003]

How is the motokote?

[@YDCFF_]

I use NGK in everything. I've never tried the other 2. I know what I get with what I use, a few seconds doesn't matter to me when I don't know how long they will last. However, when I was a young buck I was in to muscle cars. The Accel Ignition, super coil, cap, plugs and silicone wires were the best money could buy. It made an amazing difference.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@fUZZYbrainZ14]

Are those all things you modified or replaced?

[@FastHemi]

Those were the days. Ive been using NGK in everything from dirt bikes to hot rods since i was a kid
