DirectHits®, the original concept behind the new Pulstar™ Pulse Plug, delivers the same punch and power of Pulse Plugs. Although, in some instances, Pulse Plugs may not currently be available for every engine manufactured, you can still benefit from this revolutionary technology. In cases where an aftermarket turbocharger, supercharger, nitrous or any other product that increases displacement or compression has been added to an engine requiring a colder plug to avoid possible engine damage, DirectHits® is the perfect application. DirectHits® must be used with NON-RESISTOR PLUGS ONLY. Similar to Pulstar™ Pulse Plugs, DirectHits® accumulates ignition power and releases the stored power to the spark gap. Virtually every spark plug on the market today (SplitFire®, Platinum, Iridium) is a Low Power Discharge plug (LPD) having a peak discharge current of between 0.020 to 0.060 amps. DirectHits is a High Power Discharge spark plug (HPD) generating 500 amps of peak discharge current... 20,000 times more power than LPDs. Power to really ignite fuel! The robust DirectHits® spark burns the hydrocarbons in the fuel more completely and consistently so fewer hydrocarbons escape to the exhaust. DirectHits® does a great job at igniting hydrocarbons at lean air:fuel ratios conventional spark plugs could not begin to ignite. What do you think? I was thinking of trying it. | ||

Blew up my motor the first time using DirectHits - lol EZ | ||

DirectHits is $35.00 a unit!! We need two of them. After tax and shipping, I would rather put the money toward p&p job of my heads. Winter is here and I am planning the next project of my bike. | ||

Do you have a problem with your existing spark plugs igniting the fuel? If your bike is close stock then I'd say "no". If you run a top fuel dragster where your mixture is very rich, about 6:1, and you have much of your fuel in a liquid vs. vapor state and run extremely high rpm's (12,000+ rpm) where your coil doesn't have enough saturation time then you "may" benefit from these. In other words, this is a waste. Save your money and time for other more beneficial items like some tools that you'd like to have or a few bottles of loctite? Perhaps buy a case of synthetic oil instead -- probably get more power of that then this snake oil... | ||

EZ how did that happen? was it stock besides the plugs...? I was thinking about getting some pulstars but they dont have a specific one for my bike.... | ||

On the subject of plugs, any better thatn the stock? or should I just replace with the stock? | ||
| Ochoa0042 |
...any better than the stock? Well I noticed a BIG difference when I had 110octane in my bike. And since the super-plugs ignite the chamber better that stockers, I would suppose so  I need some dyno stats, STAT! ! !  | ||

Since they don't have pulstars for our bikes, directhit is made by the same company and does the same thing. The capacitor releases more electric power for a bigger longer burn. If you read up on these plugs you'll see they’re for stock set-ups. (I have race kit) It’s time for me to replace my plugs and after 10k of NGK Irid, I'm looking for something a lil better. (The Buell cough) I know for cars they have ignition systems that do exactly what this capacitor does with great results. This product has been around for a while and has been tested by multiple; what I feel reliable sources. I’d like to hear from more people about this and how they feel about this snake oil. | ||

ochoa0042 go to pulstar.com at the bottom of the page Horse Power TV did a dyno test on the plugs. Not bad, did I mention improved MPG... | ||

here is some interesting info: http://sparkplugs.com/sparkplug411.asp?kw=SRT%2D4+ Dyno+Results&mfid=0 | ||

Seems them NGK Iridium are just as good and for alot less $$$$... CAn someone give me the correct plug part # and gap to use with them NGK`s BTW sorry for  Thanks (Message edited by hogs on November 12, 2008) | ||

DCPR9EIX, you'll probably have to order them online as no one around here could even order these. The DPR9EIX part number doesn't come with a top cap, so don't order that one. That C must stand for cap. I think I gaped mine to .035, but don't quote me on that. | ||

Let me explain just how much cr*p these things are: "DirectHits is a High Power Discharge spark plug (HPD) generating 500 amps of peak discharge current... 20,000 times more power than LPDs. " They've quoted you an amperage and are relating it to more ignition POWER. Hmm, let's put our BS boots shall we? Amps is NOT power. Amps and Voltage is POWER, yet interestingly they don't give you this information. Odd, isn't it. Here's where the other BS meter comes in. What's the ENERGY that these plugs produce.? Becuase it is ENERGY that is required to produce enough HEAT to generate the FLAME KERNAL to start combustion. Here's some more BS -- we all know that the energy avaible in a spark is HIGHER at idle than it is at peak rpm because we have less dwell time in the coil. So AT WHAT RPM is this ENERGY measured at. So, here's a short list of questions to ask: 1. what is the ENERGY that this system produces vs your existing? 2. at what rpm is this energy measured at. 3. what is the energy at peak rpm? 4. over what duration of TIME does this energy occur? If they don't offer this information, which is BASIC for an ignition system then you know they are full of it. | ||

other than correctly gapping your plugs, and cleaning the deposits off, i never think that plugs will make a huge (noticeable) difference sorry, gut i'm not gonna drink the cool-aid, and buy these plugs. prolly just wire-brush mine 'til they sparkle like new ones and then check ohms. just my 0.02 | ||

Sloppy, I'm all about what ur saying but what about the independent testing that has shown HP and MPG increase? Go to the site and watch the 2 min video from Horse Power TV. If you still think its poop I'll understand. | ||

Ok, so I ended up just getting another pair of NGK Iridium from Al at American Sport Bike, do they need to be gapped? Do they already come .35? and is that the correct spacing? |
