nails24 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 What is a good aftermarket wire ? Specifically anyone have a model number they have currently running on their Soob? I know I have seen Accel, and MSD run by some people, but a search of the board has not rendered exact info. Some of the manufaturers websites don't always do so well to find a fit for my engine when I try to use the vehicle selection utility. It looks like to me any standard plug wire will fit but I know sometimes the wires can get too long for my H4 engine. Thanks all, Chad L 1987 GL-10 Turbo AWD 5-speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerFahrer Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 You could give Magnecor a shot http://www.magnecor.com... Just ask what wires they have for a 4 cylinder Subaru with a distributor... Just be warned: they don't like to attach to their connectors very much. Be SURE they're all the way on before you start driving the car...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I got a set of 8mm Accel super stock wires. I had to buy the "cut your own size" set for a V8. Cost me about $27, which is a hell of a deal considering 7.5mm Autolites are usually $30 anyway's. It was very simple to cut the wires to length, and made it look real nice under the hood. Also the wires were yellow, and that helped. I got them when i got my Accel superstock coil, and also regapped my plugs to .050". There is a noticeable difference when the car is climbing through the gears. In 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear, i can accelerate alot faster through the gears, in 4th its still kinda sluggish but this is on my EA81 with a 4spd. The magnacore's are a good wire, but i cant find them anywhere except on the net. I was able to buy my Accel's from AutoZone, and i have 4 extra cause I bought a V8 set and only used 4 wires. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Who'd have thunk it? The best deal I could find on wires was at G. I. Joes, using a 20% off coupon for Autolite wires. They (Autolite) may not be the very best (Magnecors) but they serve the purpose. Jw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 I was thinking of getting some magnecore's myself. They'll ship them to you direct from their factory for $5. The sets for my car are $41.68 (7mm) and $43.95 (8mm). Im not sure about a turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nails24 Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 And after you enter the site, there's a Subaru right there ! Is that a WRX ? Anyway ... thanks for the help everyone. Chad 87 Turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 They were really quick with a response to my email. They said they would even C.O.D. them to me for an extra $7. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Here's a pic of the Accel wires and coil in my brat: I dont think i'll ever go back to regular 7mm or 7.5mm wires. And since the V8 set came with 8 wires, i have 4 extra to go into my wagon as well -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch184 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 is there any difference between the wires on a 87 turbo mpfi and a 89 n/a spfi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 The part numbers are different, but I can't confirm or deny whether they could be interchanged or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
