ignition leads

Post by Bosozoku_GX71 »

Does anyone know what sort of aftermarket ignition leads i can use on my 1j? the stock ones are tiny and im sure some bigger ones would be better, and make the engine look less stock. :p but i cant find anything for a jz. has anyone used a wasted spark setup, they are on every westy rb so i dont see why you couldnt use one on a jz?

ngk do a upgrade lead, dont know the thickness of the cable as i havnt brought any, or you can go to a eagle lead, they arnt to bad, you would be straggling to feel a difference if thats what your aiming for

wasted spark, again cant comment with the 1jz, but they seam to be well execpted with soem of the blacktop 20v 4ages in our club, but they are running alot of msd gear

what are you trying to achieve?

hahaha not much ae man. but with your foot all the way down it doesnt feel much different to 3 quarters and its getting more air from the intake so might aswell increase the spark aswell. plus my factory one are like 2mm and it just looks sad as on a big straight 6 when my mate has like 10.5 mm leads on a civic. :p

stock leads are fine, if they arent fucked dont replace them, you wont get any improovement at all, wasted spark is a cheap shit fix for rb's and i cant count the amount of failures related to using that setup.

make sure youve got good plugs gapped to .8mm and make sure your timing is at 10degrees btdc

also make sure your cam timing is correct too, might have slipped a tooth or been changed wrong last time it was done

also check your knock sensors are plugged in and working, a mates rb25de (dont say it) ran like shit till we plugged them in

heaps of shit to try ;)
