What wires did you end up using for the smartcoils. It's the one thing I don't have from sakebomb and was looking at options. Any help is appreciated.

 

I build my own out of the MSD universal kits. Pick up the V8 kit and you have enough to build 2 sets of wires.

 

If you don't want to build your own, you can have Magnecor build them to your specs if you measure carefully. They only take orders over the phone and you have to look through their online catalog to piece together the styles of terminals you want. But the price was nice, I think around 60 for my short ones.

 

Yup, that's what I did.

Very good quality wires, they really clip on with a positive 'click' and seem to be pretty damn resilient. I've had them on and off many times for different reasons and same result since new

 

"have Magnecor build them to your specs"

i ran the MSD Universal for a number of years and they seemed to work fine. i prefer Magnecor and suggest you visit their site and read their tech section.

just like needing lots of fuel, rotaries need a lots of ignition to light the high combustion chamber pressure. you have the right coils that put out a ton of juice.

lots of juice and lots of resistance at the plug gap pressures the wires. make sure the boots are really tight and your wires are up to the challenge.

marginal wires in a modded FD are a recipe for misfires. take a good look at the power line at zero smoothing. if it looks like lots of tiny jiggles you are getting misfires.

I haven't tried the "build to your specs" Magnecor wires, but the standard FD ones fit like garbage and pop off the coils. 600+ whp and no issues with MSD and a properly functioning ignition system.

 

i ran the msd wires that come with the sakebomb kit, but i was worried about emi interfering with trigger signals. didnt really have any problems with the msd, but i switched to magnacor 10mm for peace of mind after reading magnacor's tech writeup lol. either wire setup with the IGN-1As will burn through 10.0 AFR, richest my wideband reads

 

Great. Now what plugs do you use. North of 450whp

 

They can be found cheaper (like $32-33 each), but price no object these plugs are your best choice IMO:

Spark Plug - Racing for NGK R6725-10.5 - Racing Beat

Note the 10 heat range are now discontinued.

 

Isnt the R7420 a newer/better version?

 

^Main difference is the 7420 has an Iridium center electrode core, vs copper for the 6725. Otherwise they're identical. Good news is that the 7420 is also still available in a '10' heat range. So yes, go with 7420 if you can find them but the 6725 will still shock your nuts off

 

We sell the wires individually, along with the mount, plug and play wiring harness, and or full kit. We use MSD wire and have found nothing better (the Magnecor wire just isn't as good, however it's a close second).
