DRIVE TO BELIEVE - SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI CAR

My name is Dan, like most guys out there I appreciate beautiful things. Beautiful things comes in different categories and my personnal favourites are CARS. A well-defined, powerful, stern looking, and many more would be the SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI. A simple website is created just for your enjoyment from the simple to the heavy modification on this wonderful ride.

High Performances Spark Plugs

How a Spark Plug Works:

The basics of a spark plug is that it must perform two primary functions.

  1. To Ignite the Air/Fuel mixture
  2. To REMOVE the heat out of the combustion chamber

Spark plugs transmit electrical energy that turns fuel into working energy. A sufficient amount of voltage must be supplied by the ignition system to cause the spark to jump the across the spark plug gap, thus creating what is called Electrical Performance.

Additionally, the temperature of the spark plug's firing end must be kept low enough to prevent pre-ignition, but high enough to prevent fouling. This is called Thermal Performance and is determined by the heat range of the spark plug.

It is important to understand that spark plugs CANNOT create heat, only remove it! The spark plug works as a heat exchanger, pulling unwanted thermal energy away from the combustion chamber and transferring the heat to the engine's cooling system. The heat range is defined as a plug's ability to dissipate heat. The rate of heat is determined by:

  • The insulator nose length
  • Gas volume around the insulator nose
  • Materials and/or construction of the center electrode and porcelain insulator

N
ow to the actual function: As the Ignition is triggered it sends the spark through the rotor, to the cap, down the wire and then it jumps the gap of the spark plug, a spark kernel is created that ignites the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. Proper timing of this spark is not the only concern as described above. You must have the proper heat range as well as the correct gap.

SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI MUFFLERS

THE ONLY UNQIUE MUFFLERS FOR SUBARU WRX STI.







STi Sport Muffler T304 stainless steel sport muffler w/ 120mm tip diameter. Cherry red STi logo on tip. Free flowing straight-through muffler design and larger diameter (65mm) piping reduces backpressure and enhances the deep exhaust tones. Lightweight design is 1/3 the weight of the original component. Polished for good looks.


STi Factory Muffler Section
The STi factory muffler used on the New Age STi models provides a slightly deeper, more agressive sound then stock due to the big bore & a near straight through design. STi logo is embossed on the tip (single polished tip w/ rolled edge).
