Plasma Direct/Booster Ignition System, anyone heard of this? Options

[jcbass7]

ok so reading my magazine i ran across this

Okada Plasma Direct

Its an ignition amplifying system that appears to actually do something instead of just creating an electrical fire..

they have the direct plug and play for the 3s-ge engine, would that plug into a 3sgte engine?

Interesting. I don't really understand the difference between their three products. Perhaps Crewchief could chime in here also?

Thanks for the invite.
Ok this is the engineer in me talking and a little of the mechanic.
Sounds a good idea on the surface but there are some basic problems
1) plugs have resistors in them to protect from surges and give consistent spark millions of times.
way over amping a plug will burn out the resistor.
The plug makers only make the plugs to take a certain amount of volts and amps while that is a pretty wide range way over juicing them will burn them out.
So plugs won't last as long.
2) once the resistor goes regulating the heat of the spark is out the window it will fluctuate widely
throwing a powerful spark is a great thing but getting the heat range wrong can cause serious damage including heat scoring on the piston.
3) creating a multiple spark will only work with a multiple electrode plug so this will only be effective with that style of plugs which are not made to fit all cars.
this over sparking will cause more spark erosion on the plugs anode and can eat away at the electrode. Which again will effect the heat range and gap.

Lastly you can get this with out spending $250
Halo spark plugs will give you multiple sparks from you existing ignition system.
It provides a direct path for the fuel air mixture to ignite flame kernel firing 31% faster then standard plugs burning more of the fuel already in the combustion chamber reducing emissions.
A performance shop in the UK JDP performance one of the techs working there did an emissions test before removing his cat another after then again after adding Halo's the test after the Halo's was almost the same as with a cat.
on the Dyno he gained 11 bhp and 9ftlb of torque with Halo's just as a bonus he also went up 2mpg this test was on a 94 prelude with 137,000 miles.
A set of Halos will cost around $60 and last for 3 years with the right heat range for your car.

PLASMA DIRECT (PAT)

A revolution in ignition technology!!
The Plasma Direct is the ignition coil with a high power amplifier built in to it.
The Plasma Directs produce 4 times more spark energy than stock coils and also generate an ultra fast multi spark discharge of 10 sparks up to highest RPM.
The spark amperage is increased 100%, allowing the spark to reach many more molecules and therefore accelerate the ignition and combustion process. This is extremely important in forced induction applications but also improves the performance of normally aspirated engines.

The Plasma Direct will increase horsepower and torque throughout the entire rpm range. This upgrade will also reduce fuel consumption. Even the engines with a legendary smoothness will be further refined with the Plasma Direct upgrade. Our Plasma Directs are OBD II compliant and C.A.R.B. approved.

Installation is easy. Direct bolt-in to the engine, no splicing or cutting into stock wiring, simply replace the stock coils with our Plasma Direct Coils and ready to go!

Plasma Direct is made to a specific application. Please check Application chart to find the correct model for your car.
