2nd Gen RX7 Spark Plug Wires

[waynehussey]

Looking to purchase a set of spark plug wires for my 2nd Gen RX7, any recommendations with regards to brand and size (i.e., 7mm)?

thanks

perhaps my response won't be too helpful, (sorry) but the gold standard for the 1st gen has been the Racing Beat wires. expensive, (relatively) but high performance and good longevity, they are well made and robust.

Wayne we have had excellent luck with the Magnacore wires. Not had a set fail yet if you wipe them down occasionally and do not let oil mist rot them.

I've gotta put a vote in for Taylor wires in 8mm, and not just because my name's on them.

(I don't actually get anything if you buy them, but perhaps I should seek the opportunity to claim we're related for a wholesale discount...)

Thanks Guys!

I use MSD 8.5mm custom sets pretty much exclusively. I like the custom wires as it seems all off the shelf wires for the 2nd gen are WAY too long. Taylor and Magnecore also have a great reputation.

That is what I got from Mazdaspeed. If I remember correctly they were $46 for my 1st gen.

Looks like I will be ditching those stock 6 month old NGK wires I have. Along the same line, how about plugs? NGK 7 and 9's or? I had tried some other NGK's but saw no change on the dyno.

Interesting article on ignition wires - http://www.magnecor.com/magnecor1/truth.htm

Also found this on rx7.com "For stock or mildly modified cars, use two #7 leading plugs and two #9 trailing plugs. Heavier modified cars may need to consider using four #9 plugs, for cooler plug temperatures."

Wanted to bring this thread to the front again. I just pulled yet another motor with a recent rebuild with sucked apex seals. Motor was running Bur 7 and BUR 9 stock plugs. Do what you want but running hot plugs is just a ticking time bomb. You have no margin for error on the tune.
