Plasma Booster??

I want to know if when you get this product you have to get 4 of them? I hardly know anything about engines, so yeah I could sound a little dumb at this point, but there are 4 spots but they only show 1 spot with this booster installed. I am trying to learn more about engines, and this site helps. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I know mostly electrical, as I do all my wiring myself on anything that requires. The link to what I am talking about is below. Oh yeah, like I said I don't know much about engines, but if this really improves the spark with an installation this easily, then why not do it myself.

Plasma Booster

Thanks for any help guys!

You dont have to get all 4, but it would be pointless. The picture you saw was jus an instllation, it was comparing the stock and the plasma, so they obviously only showed one installed.


Welcome to the site.

Is it worth getting? Trying to decide if I should buy this or not.

I have the Plasma Booster System.

It didn't add much power, maybe 1-2 HP, but it definately smoothed out idle, made the car start easier, and the air fuel ratio (according to my wideband sniffer) is a lot more exact. It would be a good idea if you're going supercharger or turbo, the multiple sparking and more effecient burn will make the turbo perform better and safer for the block.

What is a wideband sniffer? I'm curious about this product as well. I assumed that it didn't do anything since the charts they have on their website aren't exactly convincing. What did you notice? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

If you don't know anything about engines, then chances are you haven't done anything to yours, so there are several things you might want to get before you think about ignition booster coils.

I've got the coils too.... I think they are a good mod for our cars.. I dont think they would mess up the engine, if anything they are better for the engine because it makes it run smoother. I noticed a little increase in power when I installed them. Installation is easy, can be done in 10 minutes... I know they are kind of pricey but they are the only ignition system out there for our cars so far. I recommend this system paired up with the Denso IK20 iridium spark plugs...
