Whats everyone using Custom for sparkplug wires
 
Whats everyone using Custom for sparkplug wires? I bought some universal ones but I am having a hard time getting them into the hole, because the plugs still so deep.

why would you buy universal plug wires?

All the parts you need to make your own, or they will assemble anything you want. Very high quality, great customer service, and some of the cheapest stuff I've found.

Magnecor will make you custom wires for around $100 depending on the length of the wires.

Faeflora 01-08-2012 01:32 PM

Magnecor.

But fug it I would not buy em again. It's just a frikken wire and some connectors. I would just make my own.

last week magnacore quoted me $160 for 8.5mm wire 12" long with mazda spark plug ends and ls coil ends. that was too much so i asked for just the boots and terminals and it was only $18...then i got msd bulk wire 8.5mm 6' and the msd crimper at the local speed shop for $28 tax in. (where did the other $114 come from?)

Or you could do like I did and get 8mm custom wires for less than 75 made.

Cops are so 2008. It is all about LS2 coils now. Depending on where you mount them you can still run stock spark plug wires.

More spark and cheaper > clean.

tasty danish 01-08-2012 06:20 PM

I also prefer having quality plug well seals.

your math is much too difficult for me to understand.

My toyota COPs don't like to fire when temps get cold & battery voltage goes below ~11volts or so. Instead of buying a new battery I swap back to the OEM coils for the winter and run MSD wires.
