On the ignition wires would I have any more gains by upgraded my ignition wires from a 7mm to a 8.2 thomas thundervolt wires? I already know the ignition already puts out plenty of juice but could i have a better response or gain? Its going on my 88T. Now how about the 87NA? Anything noticeable there? Hit me up and let me know guys. Thanks!

 

I dont think you will see any gains over 8mm.
But thats just my 2cents

 

id turbo befor id run 8s...like he said ----^ thats my 2 cents......... id runn 7.5mms

 

I think he stated they would be for his 88T.


You'll have to do more digging into the different wire sets before making a SOUND judgement on which would be best.

Rules of thumb I use.....

1) find a wire with the least amount of resistance per foot of length.

2) if you plan on keeping your stereo, use a spiral core wire (or any good noise suppression wire)

3) read numbers 1 and 2


When I had my 86T, I used Magnacore or MDS universal kits. Both were 8mm wires.




...my $0.02,

 

Just get stock bosch, nissan or ngk wires. you will make more of a difference with plug gap and timing then with wires.

 

That's exactly what i was told by one of my commercial accounts to find the wire with the least amount of resistance per foot of length. Almost exactly what ya stated there, my86z. I failed to mention to him the part of how i accomplish the task of measuring the resistance in the wire, to him. Two, how would i know or what to look for the difference of a spiral core wire and a non spiral core wire? To throw my 2 cents in, im a dumbass when it comes to electirical. I simply know the basics of a 3 phase and 4 phase wiring but a car is totally different. Id rather be sure and get it right rather than to wake up every morning and stare at my 88T knowing I have a huge paperweight on top of my driveway. That would be the worst day of life! Thats a freakin NIGHTMARE!

 

your not doing anything, that requires different plug wires though, even if you put a huge coil in it. unless your turning a large amount of RPM's for a long time, or are pushing alot of juice to the plugs, nice and expensive low resistance wires, will do nothing for you. And at a level like that, you will most likely have a coil on plug setup.
