What is the latest on sparkplugs and wires

[ertech]

Hi guys
What do you guys recommend for wires and plugs?

Thanks

I use Clewett plug wires with good results. Have used them on both 3.2 Carrera and 3.3 Turbo. I used Bosch plugs and now am using NGK I think. I run a cooler heat range than stock since I am running with EFI and have timing advanced with a higher boost range.

Got an unused pair of Magnecor from Clewett like the ones below. Ended up with a completely different setup. Went with crank fired kit and wires included there.

NIB
911 1965-83, 914-6 & 930 Turbo 1984-89 [9191-08] - $215.00 : Clewett Engineering, The complete solution for ignition & fuel injection

Yours for $120 + shipping if you want. Just didn`t get around to sell them yet. Got a MSD 6425 + coil too.

Let me know if interested

I'll look and see if we still have a set of take-off Magnecore wires. If so, they're yours for cheap.
We don't use them.

TurboKraft what do you use?
and why
Im curious

We prefer factory spark plug connectors, and OEM wire -- perfect fit, consistent resistance, reliable. When the wires need replacing due to age & heat, the boots are almost always reusable -- just replace the wires themselves.

More than once we've had to shave the tip of the Magnecore silicone spark plug boots to get them to fit properly into a 911/930 cylinder head. They were too large an OD and got caught up on the fins before fully seating on the spark plugs.
Add to that getting custom ones for a 3.6T only to have their boots be too long and not come out of the valve cover with the engine in the car, hitting the rear frame rails... and being told something to the equivalent of "gee that's too bad..."
Just not impressed.

Beru was was the supplier to Porsche in those years, and we use their products, never had a problem.

Just $0.02 from the peanut gallery.

Factory wires are awesome... Unless you ditch the dizzy. Then what wires do you use? And where can you get just the coil boots to change over the stock dizzy connectors?

[TurboKraft]

When we eliminate the distributor and use coil packs:
- OEM (Beru) coil connectors -- in this case, for a Bosch 3x2 coil pack
- OEM (Beru) wire -- we buy the same stuff as factory in a bulk spool
- original spark plug connectors



PM me, let me know what is the original application of the coil is for which you want a coil boot/connector, ex: GM LS coil, Mitsu wasted spark coil, Mercedes coil pack, etc.

Very interesting! Does TK sell the parts or would you be willing to point us to a supplier for the Beru stuff?

[TurboKraft]

Ya, we sell.
PM or email with your application.
