spark plug wires.
what is a good set of spark plug wires to buy.after going to pepboys and seeing there "taiwan made wires" im going to order probally a set of NGk's.
those pep boy wire where pathedic looking and cosy 60 bucks.:td: |
i'm still using the originals, i'll change em if they go bad. In the past i've used magnecors and accels(300-thunder i think). actually thought the accels were nicer, don't know if they make a miata set.
|
I think general consensus is that stock wires are usually shot at around 30k miles. I think I hear people talk about Magnecor's more than any other brand. That's what I run. http://www.good-win-racing.com/mazda/miata/14-1004.html

I use the NGK blue wires, have worked fine for me.

If you've got an advance around you can get a set of 8.5MM magstars in red blue or yellow for 45 bucks. made a pretty big difference for me, even from the NGK blues that i had. (use my employee discount if you want to, justsay you're an employee and your number is 304534....won't ask for a name or anything, you just have to sign your name on the receipt)

What sort of difference has it made for you? Is this a boosted or NA application?

my car came with some newish Magnecor wires when I bought it. They've been fine so far and don't seem to have issues when picking up the spark fire at the dyno like a lot of others do.
|
I had a much smoother running engine, better throttle response, and it felt like a little more power. I put them on about a week before my greddy kit went in.

theses are the shitty wires at the pepboys near me:td: ,i opened them up out side and walk back in and returned them.:gay: thanks brian for that offer i think im just going to order them from there website.no advance autos on shit island.im sure they have them in jersey. |
Don't compare new fancy wires to old shot ones. Of course the new wires performed better; the old ones were shot!
All wires will perform the same until they're shot out. The magnacores should last longer than the ngks, but don't think they'll work better.

I run Magnecors on both of mine, they've not failed me yet.
|
If you go to the dealer and get wires, they are now NGK blues
|
The magnecores cost double the ngks but outlast them by at least triple. I think it's a no-brainer. Just don't expect new magnacores to work any better than new ngks.
|
8.5 Magnecores seem to do the job. Had Taylors before and I didn't care for them, terminal contacts developed corrosion too soon, lifetime warranty was practically worthless.
|
The Magnecores are definetly the best long-term alternative. May cost a bit more up front, but they last a long, long time.
