What gauge wires come stock on the ti's? Would going to a larger size give better response and any power gains? I have a 96' active w/M44 engine. __________________

It would also increase sprak temps which then increase combustion temps so you may need to use a colder plug. If you are talking about all wire in general there are vary gauges of wire running through the whole car. -Chad | | | | | 06-02-2005, 04:53 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: madison, WI Posts: 402 |

Spark plug wires will give little to no increase in power. Also, the guage of the wire is the total diameter, not the diamater of the core (the part that conducts). You could have 12 guage core on one set of wires and 10 guage core on another set of wires and still end up with 8 guage wires, if they had diffferent ammounts of insulation.
In short, don't bother changing your wires if they are working fine. If you are going to change them go with the magnacores, they have been around for awhile, have a good rep. and I believe they carry a lifetime warranty. | | | | | 06-02-2005, 07:46 PM | #5 | | Member Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: San Antonio, Texas Posts: 62 |
Thanks for the info...I am due for new plugs and wires and will order the Magnacores. __________________
