[@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.

[@dannac_8888]

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. They are a very expensive plug and you don't seem to be able to get any mileage out of the investment. That's not good. For people who want to change plugs often? I can't justify a fast start and fuel economy for 19k miles. We didn't test lingevity here bc that's a long-term study.

[@jonjudice1155]

[@cosp_ride3095]

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]

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.

I've been working on and around engines from 100k hp marine diesels to 30 hp motorcycles for most of my life and the single thing that will always blow my mind is the speed at which combustion actually takes place. Consistently and reliably every time. When considering a Formula One engine turning at 22, 000 rpm, even at full advance it amazes me that the fire can keep up. Great vid!!!

[@einfelder8262]

We raced 2 stroke Kart engines at 22,000 rpm. twice as many sparks as on a 4 stroke. Only problems were fouling at low speed so we had to balance revving too slow with danger of cold seize from revving too high before the engine warmed up. Never had spark problems when on full noise. We used NGK standard heat range 7 to 9 depending on air temps.

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.

Todd, I frequently make purchase decisions based on your testing (so far: paint, tape, adhesives, screwdriver bits, box cutter blades, knife sharpener, and windshield wipers), so thank you! 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

You should buy a small diesel engine and test different stuff as fuel, like cooking oil, hydraulic fluid, gas, ethanol, brake fluid etc

[@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 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.

After removing and inspecting the new pulstar plugs, the engine that was misfiring had a completely destroyed spark plug (white base was black and crumbling apart). Swapped out all 4 pulstars just to be safe with a fresh new set of pulstars….a few weeks later, misfire in a DIFFERENT cylinder…limped back to auto parts store to get a 3rd new set of pulstars…. Yep, you guessed it…misfires again and back into limp mode and back to auto parts store. This time my boss wouldn’t let me exhange them for another set of pulstars, so I ditched the pulstars and bought a set of either iridium or platinum whatever spark plugs, and never had a misfire again after that. Long story short, the pulstars seemed to explode or disintegrate or blow in my VW…to the point of the body of the spark plugs being almost in pieces after removing and inspecting.

Thanks for sharing.

Test the ability of de-greasers on things covered in grease.

[@sunnydays4966]

I would like see water base ones, like dawn. B12 chemtool will kick ass but so flammable.

[@stephen3293]

Yes! This is something I'd personally love to see as I use degreasers all the time on my bike chain to clean it before putting on new lube

[@Shitbird3249]

Autolite wins. Versus the E3 in my experience with purple power and a little bit of gas. Better than champion as well.

[@ancientapparition1638]

How on earth would something like this work? How can you measure that? I guess fuck it, nevermind I'd like to see it.

[@csebastian71]

We place a streak of grease on an angled piece of glass to see how many drops it takes to clear the grease from the glass. Our product is called Oil Eater Degreaser.

I think that the cows were saying, "What is that crazy human doing now".

[@ProjectFarm]

lol Thanks for watching!

[@Hectorszenshopedc]

lol really, the cow... spark plugs bud... I use E3.. way off subject

[@kevinbennett2565]

Cows may not be able to race themselves but they sure love to watch one.

[@jimsiggy]

PF, thanks for the video. When new, the E3 and Pulstar might provide a smig more power and mpg than the NGK iridium, but I know first hand, that the E3s have poor longevity and I have heard that the pulstar suffers in durability too. The NGK iridium should be very durable, and for the price is my first choice. My E3 experience is that they eroded pretty quickly , like 20-30K miles. I replaced mine with NGK Iridium, and my truck runs great again.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great feedback! Thank you

[@Sammmeow]

My car says it requires iridium plugs and to replace them after 100k miles. Would be interesting to see how long these other types actually last.

[@DocR16]

I agree E 3 is junk. On Facebook they tried justifying the "technology" by saying that 1 (just one) nhra drag team uses them in their engines. They got salty and pissed when I mentioned that those engines are torn down and everything replaced between rounds so their statement was pointless in trying to prove anything

[@boots7859]

I think its within the margin or error on how much power than can possible add. If you notice from Pulstars website they show dyno testing. I would bet that those are cherry-picked tests, take from a large number of runs of different auto's. And a couple or 3 HP is never even going to be noticed or felt.

[@jim_8558]

I never used E3 spark plugs in my car, but I have for my chainsaw. All I can say is there are not durable, it only lasted 3 weeks. Then my chainsaw wouldn't start, good thing I kept the old one to finish the day and went back to buy a traditional spark plug.

[@jrmanaea1]

Hi, I bought two sets of pulstar plugs & each time within a time period of 1-3 months, the plugs failed & I would have missed fires codes. Change back to my old plugs, no miss fires. But when the plugs are working, I can definitely feel the difference. I had inline 6 4.2 trailblazer. Loved it when it worked.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@donjuanmurray4957]

I used the pulstar ONE time. As a gearhead I used them and 10k miles later they failed the best spark plug I have used and wish you could have included, are ngk ruthenium with a double electrode. PLEASE do a part 2!!!

[@ProjectFarm]

Great feedback on the Pulstar and great video idea. Thank you!

[@OrganicGreens]

You should use regular single electrode unless your car comes with double electrode... only use what the manufacturer ships your car with. Using anything else will cause issues unless you are returning your car at a dyno with non oem plugs.

[@Ultimatrix117]

I'm eager to look at up actually I never heard of that

[@joshtaylor4016]

I also experienced poor lifespan with pulstar plugs in a v6 Tacoma. The factory plugs lasted twice as long maybe more.

[@Ultimatrix117]

It really does sound like Pulstar is for like racing applications kind of like in NASCAR where everything has to be just changed out repeatedly so the short longevity I think makes sense. But they're expensive like I may have said before
