LOL just bought some.. got the super dooper bosch ones.. not bad for £24.99 inc p&P
Advantages of Super 4
Increased Acceleration
Air-fuel mixture deposits occur in driving primarily during heavy acceleration. The Super-4 spark plug from Bosch with increased ignition reliability prevents misfiring and therefore guarantees improved acceleration.
In a trial, acceleration from 19 to 75 mph in third or fourth gear resulted in 0.4 s gain in each case. The acceleration distance decreased by five meters, providing driver and passengers with improved safety during overtaking.
Less Chance of Misfiring
Our 'surface-air gap' technology (see below) ensures a more even wear of the electrodes. This, in turn, leads to a more reliable spark. Since the probability of a spark choosing one of the eight possible paths is equal, wear on the ground electrodes is distributed evenly over all four electrodes.
Better Cold Starting Performance and Protection
Thanks to the improved low-temperature behaviour and self-cleaning feature, up to three times as many cold starts are possible than with conventional spark plugs. Environmental protection and protection for the catalytic converter The improved cold start behaviour and increased ignition reliability even in the warm-up phase increases fuel combustion and thus reduces HC-emissions. This also has the effect of extending the service life of the catalytic converter.
Greater Spark Power - Improved Efficiency
The spark in the Super 4 loses less power than the spark in a conventional spark plug due to the four thin ground electrodes (less resistance). Spark plug efficiency therefore increases because the air/fuel mixture has up to 40% more power available for every ignition.
The Technology Behind Super 4
Super-4 differs in the following ways from conventional spark plugs:
Four symmetrically arranged ground electrodes.
A silver-plated centre electrode made of chrome-nickel alloy with an encased copper core.
An electrode gap pre-set for the duration of the spark plug's life.
But how does this technology work?
Surface Air Gap Technology - The Plug Cleans Itself!
In the case of Super-4, the spark ignites the air/fuel mixture in much the same way as in plugs with two ground electrodes, that is, either as an air gap or as a surface air-gap. With the four ground electrodes of Super-4, this results in eight possible spark gaps. Whichever of these spark gaps is chosen, is usually quite random.
The sparks are distributed evenly around the insulator nose. If the insulator nose is contaminated at any point (e.g. with soot), the spark will skim over the contamination and jump from there to the nearest ground electrode, burning the soot away at the same time. This provides a self cleaning facility - essential for extended life and performance.
Even Electrode Wear - A More Reliable Spark
Since the probability of a spark choosing one of the eight possible paths is equal, wear on the ground electrodes is distributed evenly over all four electrodes.
Broader Heat Range - One Plugs Fits More
The silver-plated centre electrode is an excellent heat conductor. This reduces the danger of misfiring due to overheating and extends the safe operational range of the plug into higher temperatures. Thanks to our surface air-gap technology, self-cleaning occurs even at low temperatures.
One Super 4 spark plug covers at least two of the heat ranges of conventional spark plugs. The result of this is that a large number of different vehicles (even those with conventional spark plugs) can be retrofitted with a relatively small number of Super 4 spark plugs.
Greater Spark Power - Improved Efficiency
The spark in the Super 4 loses less power than the spark in a conventional spark plug due to the four thin ground electrodes (less resistance). Spark plug efficiency therefore increases because the air/fuel mixture has up to 40% more power available for every ignition.
Improved Ignition
The likelihood of the mixture being reliably ignited decreases as the ratio of air to fuel increases (lean mixture, l > 1). In laboratory tests, reliable ignition of the fuel/air mixture was proved with the Super-4 spark plug up to l = 1.55, while with standard spark plugs in this range, more than half of all mixture ignitions were unsuccessful.

rofl
isnt that only SLIGHTLY more chavvy than having your cap maped to flame????
How sad that you continue to post despite claiming that the club is s**t and you hate everyone
lol if that was aimed at me, please point out where ive sed the whole club is s**t and i hate everyone..
hates a very stong word.. id say there were a lot of knobs on here, but also a fair good few decent folk , then the outstanding ones, you clearly fall into the latter group :approve:
as for the "club"... welll

*cries*
mine is't 'mapped to flame' luv, it does that regardless, it mapped for MORE flames
there's a bit of a difference between flames from a flamer kit too pmsl.
Cookie - not sure who that's aimed at either, but I love CS, it's great to come on and read general chat and the "my life sucks shoot me in the face" threads, makes me feel good about myself knowing that no matter how bad my day has been, at least I'm not that person

NGK mate!
Best place for super 4's is the bin.
NGK all the time for me.
