Hey...

might be an old concept but Ive never heard from it before. Just wondering if some of u tried it before......

seems interesting but dont know if it could damage something....

 

it won't damage anything...

just as long as its proply gapped you'll be fine

 

thanks for the reply....

do you think then spark plug life is affected ?????

well someguy said he felt an improvement on his car..... (not a scion) but I have my doubts.....

bad thing a can not test it now............will have to wait like 2 months till a see my car again hahaha.... =me

 

I have never side gapped but here is my 2 cents.

Over the years anything that has proven useful has been incorporated into the products we buy from oil to spark plugs to turbos ECT.

Side gapping looks a lot like what Bosch does with its +4 plugs seen here http://static.flickr.com/40/85928573_5c9d2adb42_m.jpg

The “go-fast” guys don’t like the Bosch +4 as its just more chance of getting an electrode arm in the cylinder or so I’ve heard.
I have never seen a case of this happening tho.

That being said I bought the Denso Iridium plugs.
I don’t expect any real HP gains from them as it’s only a 100 HP motor but I do expect consistent performance for years to come.

 

I've never seen side gapping, but in theory looks like it would work, however it's benefit would be damn near invisible on our motors. I'll stick to indexing my plugs instead, much less labor intensive for the most part.

 

how about you side gap #1 & #3, leave #2 & #4 regular!

 

It seems to reduce the surface area a spark might form on, so it could reduce life.

I don't see the point.

That website seemed like a lot of wishful thinking.

 

Just buy Bosch +2 or +4 plugs.
