Good Spark Plug Wires?

[1stGENracer]

Whats a good set of spark plug wires that don't cost to much?

NGK.

 

[Violater101]

NGK - roadrace has them for like $50 bucks.

 

[Vince]

Accel 8mm, at Checker or Pep Boys. Good fit and they dont arc against
the valve cover or each other. I paid $50, very satisfied.

 

[1stGENracer]

I was looking at the Accels, and the NGK's. Not sure which ones to get.

Taylor performance wires- $40 (summit) and good stuff too.

the NGK's are 7mm arent they? Get Accel 8mm wires, I have heard no complaints about them

I have heard complaints about MSD 8.5mm's and Magnecor 8.5mm.

Accell 8mm wires are Like $55 from www.hahnracecraft.com and come in choice of 3 colors.

Dont get the magnecors i have gone threw 3 sets of them ill be buying something this time.

What about obx wires? there 10.3 mm and you can get them on ebay for about 40-50 bucks. But there are people in this forum that says all obx stuff sucks. But I dunno.

Magnecores have big issues with arcing through the boots, and for as much as they are I wouldn't buy them at all.

MSD all the way. I had the Magnecores and they went bad with in 10,000 miles. The MSD's fit beautifully and are easily cleaned. The car runs 100x's better now and also idles normally. I believe i payed around $55 for them at your local Auto Zone. Lata

ON a related note, for expensive wires are the Nology HOtwires recommended at all. They seem to be good from their descriptions.

 

[turbofanatic]

i have the nology hot wires and i like them alot. i would recomend them

 

[KenTSIII]

Nology wires don't work well.. in any application. It's all hype.. but if you buy a set.. I got this neat little tornado thing that you can put in your intake also...

My Accel wires arched through the boots within about 5K miles. I replaced them with a set of Magnecores and haven't had any problems since.

HAHA!!

I have Bosch wires from AutoZone or maybe it was Discount auto parts, they were cheap and I needed them right then. They are 7mm I belive and I have had 0 problems with them.. just figured I would mention since everyone else has expensive ones..Corey

 

[bright mike]

check your bosch wires for arcs. mine crapped out after 3000 miles

 

[toshi128]

don't wanna get flamed for asking a stupid question but...

how do you know when spark plug wires are going bad??

i have magnacore wires for over a year and a half (about 35000 miles) and do not notice anything strange.

 

[echo]

yea, i have always used magnecor and the only prob i have had is when i just had to get more because i took my timing belt cover off and it cut a wire almost in half.

 

[Green93TalonTSi]

I just posted this in another thread, Groupbuycenter.com has NGK wires for $34 ! I just put in my order for them. THats an awesome deal for NGK's

I get some nasty misfire at high RPM because of spark blow out. What wires would be good against that? price not being much of an issue.

It might not be the wires-- what are your plugs gapped at? Usually if you decrease the gap a little, that will help.

 

[Antilles]

I worked with the plugs but could not completely eliminate the problem.
