Welcome to the forum "mate":

Are all spark plug wires made the same? I mean does it really matter betweet brands?

Thanks,
Steve

I have the 3vze (? the 3.0L v6)

 

I also have Magnecor's on my 3.4L V6

 

There is a difference in spark plug wire brands. The biggest thing to look for is the resistance in the wires. Most stock automotive wires will have a resistance of between 15-20K ohms. Any higher, and you can't get proper spark to the spark plugs. I have NGK spark plug wires, for the 3.4LV6, and the same length ofwire that ohmed out at 15K ohms on my stock wires came out to 10K ohms on the NGK wires. I don't know how much resistance the Magnecor wires have, but you pay a little more for those. The NGK's were like $43 w/ shipping, and someone on this site gave me the connection to get them on-line. I am sure someone knows where to order them though. Magnecor's retail for around $80-110, depending on the wire thickness you go with. Also, the NGK's are the same diameter wire (5mm.), so you can still use the same wiring looms for them.

 

thanks... guys....


isnt it the thicker the wire the better....?

PFDAXE and MERTZTR
- how thick is ur wire..? is there any improvement.?


also heres a pic of my rig.. mine is the white one.. .the other is my brothers.....

 

I use the 8mm Blue Magnacor wires. Check my site for pics of my engine.

Yep, I also use the blue 8 mm's. I can't honestly say that I've felt any huge improvement, except psychologically!

 

I have the 7mm Magnecor's. The guys who started Magnecor are Australian, in case you didn't know. Maybe they'll give a deal to a fellow countryman, Prado.

Call them and ask for Richard. Tell 'em Galen sent you. Richard and I have talked a few times, to say the least.
