upgraded spark plugs & wires Q's
Friday, July 08, 2005 3:21 AM
hey dudes, i wanna upgrade the spark plugs and wires on my stock 2.2L....

i was looking on ebay and came across these plugs and wires....

are they good?
will my car turn over faster now? sometimes if it hasnt been started in awhile it will take a second for the motor to turn over......

WIRES... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7984460848&category=33692&sspagename=WDVW

if you're going to upgrade stuff...upgrade with quality...plugs are good, but wires...either msd or accel

msd or accel for wires. accell has universal wires, less than 30$ for 8 wires, enough for 2 tune ups.

10.2mm wires.... heres a realistic analogy.

with 8 and 8.5 mm wires, i run and msd;s worth of spark daily. what reason would anyone need 10.2 mm.

remember its not the diameter of the wiring, its the quality of whats inside.

plugs... keep it simple. those are decent. wouldnt fall for the multipronged gimmick ones. take your time every season regap em if needed and check their condition. you can learn alot about spark plugs and your engine condition.

you should be able to answer your own question out of logic man

if people are running way more voltage through 8 and 8.5mm wires.....then what would you need with TEN (10mm) wires?

dont understand the voltage?????

its a simple analogy. pretty straight forward.


if a smaller size (8.5MM WIRES) are efficient enought to handle modified ignition systems, then YOU DONT NEED A LARGER SIZE WIRE...


hell you can get accell from any local parts place

while ago when i ran accells.

right now i am running the msd on msd 8.5 superconductor wires. last time i did a spark check on those at night, it was a decent light show
