e3 plugs

96GT281 · Jul 23, 2008

does anybody run these in their car. i watched a thing on horsepower where they did an engine dyno with bosch and e3 and the e3's made 5.5 more hp. just wondering if anybody runs these

Nope never heard of them,and if they are made by Bosch they will never go in my car either,had bad luck with their plugs.

from what i have read on the internet they are great plugs for n/a apps but suck for any kind of fi including nitrous because they dont come in colder heat ranges. one guy i know of removed them from his 2v gt after 5k with a few shots of juice and the tips were gone.

Buy a set,

run your car on the dyno, change plugs, run again and let me know if you gain 5 hp.

I have an old mechanic buddy who threw them at his exploder and he claims he jumped an honest 3 mpg and the thing will at least break the back tires loose again.

He is going to try them in a few other vehicles and see if he gets the same results. He only owns Fords, so it will be interesting to see how they do.

I would only buy if they have the long threaded versions. Not looking to shoot a plug through my heads.

Copper plugs naturally have a short life, my car was completely debilitated coming home from the beach one night with under 7K on the plugs. Never again.

I bet 80% of us here using copper.

The problem is more so having a lack of threads in the head itself from what I understand.

I've used short thread plugs in mine and so far so good (finger crossing, lol).

Something is wrong big time, either internally in your engine or you got a very foul set of plugs to begin with.

I went 30k on a set of Autolite 764 coppers and they were worn just like the should be. Still useable aswell...

As far as Bosch... meh. I don't quite see them like I see FRAM, but they are on that list.

5.5hp could be gained easily just from swapping from foul to fresh plugs.

I don't think it would be that high. The newer 4.6s come from the factory with platinum plugs.

rabidscoobie · Jul 24, 2008

With ya on Bosch and Fram,neither of those will ever see my car.In the old GT I bought Bosch Plats and got less than 8k miles and then one day the car wouldnt even start,threw in some Motorcraft and it fired right up.For a stock stang Im happy with the Motorcraft plugs.
