Magnecor Leads

Postby Wildhound » Mon Apr 14, 2008 8:10 pm

I'll be ordering a few bits an pieces next week including a full set of iridium plugs. I'm just curious as to whether the Magnecor Leads would offer any (noticable) advantages over the originals?

Also what's the difference between the 8mm and the 8.5mm leads?

i used to have a mx3 and got myself magnicore 8mm leads.

the leads more than likely had never been changed.

no performance gain that you could feel but the car ran so much more smoothly.

Anyway theres no point getting high performance plugs if you dont have the matching leads to transfer the current fast enough

Yeah, it depends on the condition of your leads. I stuck in 8mm Mags with my Iridiums and it felt a little sweeter. There were platinums in before so not a huge difference for me. But i'd say I gained about 1 bhp!

What you would get a better gain is in mpg.

The 8.5 wouldn't heat up from the constant current flowing through it. But for everyday use your grand. Actually any new leads will do ya.
