I just installed the 8mm blue Magnecors...a few notes:
*Don't go any larger, as you can barely push the 8mm wires into the carry tray that runs along the engine.
*Remove your battery, box, and ignition coil (obviously)...too tight to work with the thicker wires without having access from the side.
I found some corrosion on the steel body after I removed the battery box. Acid vented/leaked from the battery and corroded the paint under the tray.
It's worth checking it out.
I haven't driven it yet, but it starts faster and revs smoother... |  |  | | 06-21-2007, 03:39 PM | #17 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: NJ Posts: 1,625 |
I just installed my new 8.5 magnecores as well... feels a bit smoother, but to maximize, I also ordered a new coil pack. | | | | | 01-15-2010, 05:06 PM | #18 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: atlanta Posts: 145 |
THANKS FOR THE THREAD ON MAGNECOR AND APEX PERFORMANCE. I JUST ORDERED THE 8MM VERSION W/SHIPPING IS ABOUT $95.
I have 190k miles and got a misfire on the 2nd cylinder. I think the boot is cracked and moisture is getting inside it based on a visual inspection. I was cringing to pay $125-150 for regular OEM replacements, so the price and quality of Magnecor was perfect.

I had problems with oem wires and i replaced with Magnecor 8.5mm Red Spark Wires and NGK Platinum Spark Plugs and the ti pushes very well since then!!  __________________
