e3 plugs worth it?

[lowcb7]

Simple I guess are e3 plugs worth getting? Anyone use them now

[N9netwoAccord]

Not worth the money, the factory style NGK plug will work best.

[lowcb7]

Good enough for me lol they make a lot of claims and didn't know if they backed up what they say

iv been running e3s in my car ever sence iv done an h22 swap and theyre worth every penny in my book. starts better, runs cleaner, and gives more power on demand than others

Can I ask where your proof is?

[CyborgGT]

Yeah, are you comparing your old ass 130hp F22 to a low-mileage 200hp H22? It sounds like these are the only plugs this H has seen under your ownership. The latter would start better, run cleaner, and have more get-up-and-go.

in my old h22 i was running bosch platniums until i herd about these greatest change over iv made yet nd the proof is in my foot nd hand lol yea dude there a good spark plug id recomend them to almost anyone

[deevergote]

There are NO worthwhile horsepower gains to be had from an ignition upgrade of any kind... ranging from gimicky plugs and wires to legitimate MSD ignition setups. Until you're making a serious amount of power, or revving well beyond the stock redline, you won't need anything "better" than stock.

If the first thing a product's advertisement has to tell you is how much power it'll make on your car, assume it's a lie.

I've never run less than ngK.... I'm running R's now an soon to switch to I think its the G-powers?... I'm running some crappy autozone cables now and I hate them... definelty going back to the ngk wires.... (f22b DOHC)

Our cars want ngk or denso plug. Thats it.

The e3s will just spark over to one side of the electrode and when it wheres down it will start arching to the other side.

Bosch was your problem there..... It is well documented that they run like crap in Honda engines. Any change in spark plug would have been a change for the better.

E3 are a gimmick spark plug and not worth a dime in a Honda engine. NGK G Power or Iridium if you want them to last longer.

[JDMK1DD]

I agree... never ran better than with ngk... even my usdm wires sit weird..
Barley make contact and don't fully seal all the way...
Same problem before I put ngk wires in the b2coupe

Have any of you that posted that they aren't worth it tried them?

I've used E3 plugs in my H22A1 and they work beautifully. I used to use nothing but NGK, but since I went to the E3's the car starts quicker and runs smoothly. Maybe a slight difference on the butt dyno and a marginal increase in fuel economy. The biggest difference I've noticed is that they don't seem to wear out. I've had them in my motor for probably about 25,000 miles and they still look new other than a slight discoloration.

So, yeah. I speak from experience. If you don't agree then try the E3 plugs for at least a few thousand miles, then tell me why they don't work.

[GhostAccord]

Never said that they don't work, just said that they weren't worth a dime and that they probably won't work as well as OEM plugs. I had a set of NGK's in my car for 5 years approx. 80,000 miles. I was still getting 28mpg. When I tore the engine down they still looked like new, except for a good brownish tan colour on the insulator. Tell me why I should switch to anything else?

Let us know how your car starts and what your fuel economy is like in another 40,000 miles.

[4GAccordH22]

How do you know that they "aren't worth a dime"? Have you tried them?
