Spark Plug Wire Size

[guitarplayer825]

What would everybody recommend as a good size for upgraded spark plug wires? I'm going to do a tuneup and I wanted to get something a little better than stock but I'm not sure how big to go. 8mm? 8.5mm?

Edit: Engine is f22a4 with just a short ram intake, I don't need a crazy ignition system

Double Edit: Does it get to a point where the wires are too big or not? I'm looking on eBay and the 10mm are cheaper than the 8mm, would that be overkill and hurt my engine or would it just be like putting an unneccesarily large amplifier power wire?

Honestly, if you want the very best performance from your wires, get NGK blues. I think they're 8.5mm Those cheap wires are often poorly shielded, and can actually cause power loss.

i'd just stick with a set of NGK sparkplug wires. they are like 35 bucks

and they come in blue.

Shouldn't they come with a coil wire too? Or do I have to buy that seperately

[deevergote]

If you buy for a 90-91, you won't get a coil wire, as they have internal coils. 92-93, you should have an external coil, and therefore you should get a wire for it.

Oh that makes sense I wasn't thinking about it haha

The NGK wires I'm looking at are only 7mm and cost $50, where could I find cheaper, better performance ones?

I got my NGK 8mm Blue spark plugs from Bap/Geon for like $40. Should be the last wires I have to buy for a long while.

If you're looking at NGK blues... you're not going to find better. Don't believe the hype that bigger sparkplug wires are going to be better. Cheaper CERTAINLY isn't going to be better!
