View Full Version : quick poll..
i am pulling my 93 out of the garage..... now i am going to do is replace the plugs and wires... and i did clean my throttle body with injector cleaner and new oil and air filter.. but stuck on Spark plug wires... should i go with Megnercor wires, NGK, or Talyors?
BTW i use NGK v-power plugs.... but its hard to get NGK wires around here but do have Megnercor and talyors here...

i've read and experienced how platinum +4 plugs arent any better on our cars. they worked good for my car for about 1200 miles then the power seemed to just cut out. i read on probetalk later how they do this to the kl03 and switched to v-power plugs and the power was back. my six bosche's are still sitting in my garage... curt *hint hint* :D

yeah yeah. I got em hella cheap [four bones each] and was looking for new sparkers anyhoes. So I got em. The wires, on the other hand, were suggested to me by trusted friend. I guess they work fine... [putt putt, broom, ohh shit]....

just like in stereo equipment: the bigger the wire, the faster it can move a said pulse of electricity.:drool:
megnercor is advertised in super street and other import magazines... 8mm to 10mm Talyors are Napa thru excessive motorsport out in MO.... NGK.. i do like them.. but no one around here can order them for me and i hate using credit card for wires... i will get NGK v-power but the wires i am still stuck on... NGK would be great if someone wants to order them for me and i will pay them back thru money order but other than that... i would go with megnercor or talyors..

You can oder them thru corksport.com I think I saw the V6 for $115 for the set. The cheapest I have seen.
one of the auto stores said here they can get it for 85.00 for a 2.5L V-6 probe GT...!!! yes the NGK.... so i will order from them...:eek: i guess i will find out on monday morning if they can get it.. i dunno if they can order it since they dont know if they have any in the warehouse in stock.. if not then it would be back ordered...:Pissed:

My Magnacor's fell apart... The boots let loose at the top of the valve cover. Wasn't from oil leaks or anything - didn't have any. They just seemed to randomly fall apart. (No, not from taking them on and off either).
On the good side, they replaced them very quickly through the mail, for free. So - great service. I *might* give them another chance since that was all several years ago, maybe the quality is better. But I threw them away after the third one fell apart and went to a set of stock again. Huge difference in how it all felt, I was pissed when I realized how many problems those wires caused.
Like I said though, that was many years ago. THey might be fine now.
Also realize that any 8-10mm or thicker wire will not fit in the stock plug wire brackets, it's to big. You'll have to buy some new ones from Summit or Jegs. Or zip ties, but I would hate to see that!

ACCEL 8mm thunderstrike 8000 series performance racing series
NGK V-Power plugs... :thup:

you know, msd makes a set of wires for the v6 now... :cool:
uhhh.. i already ordered the ACCEL wires.. and MSD isnt all bad either.. but for it to be available for the probe now.. i can guess its going to be pricey at first...

i don't think that they are any more than any other set of msd wires.. :shrug:
