MSD or Nology?
 
Would MSD ignition wires be better or Nology hot wires. Or is there a way you can ground the enging better like hyperground except with just wires instead of buying the ----? Like, you know, stay on a budget?

i dont think there is much difference, but Nology might be better or MSD.

excellent question man

if anyone has any ignition wire secrets, let us know.

I think the nology are advanced since they have that capacitative feature, but i don't care much for the sticker price.

on most of the cars i work on I get the bosch premium brand wires for oem replacement, i've always been a big fan of bosch products for any car.. but for high performance compact cars let us know what's up.

Yeah, the new nology wires are about 200 bucks

i heard nology was the ----, but oem is fine.

Nology are known to start engine fires if I remeber right if they're the one's with the ground wires. If the ground wires ever come loose or off they arch and become a hazard

------- sweet! screw that then, i am not messing with that.

those are some gorgeous boobs... yea not related to the post but shiet couldnt keep my eyes off them!

Edit: Fine, I'll post something related... I like NGK wires...

I don't think your gonna see much of a difference no matter what you get. :-\ There may be small differences in wires, but I'm not convinced.

Re:MSD or Nology?
 
Is it true that Ferarri engines spontaniously combust? Maybe they have Nology wires. :P But if they're fastened securely then it should be cool right? It's not hard to screw something... errrr screw... um yeah. Boobs. ::)

huh? what? oh sorry I lost concentration. I was staring at something. Anywho. My friend has MSD and they are the ---- as far as fitment. But he can't tell a difference in gains if there are any at all. Go with the msd and spend the rest of the money on something useful. like a turbo.

If you have the chance, I've posted this elsewhere. Test the resistance in between each wire (if they'll let you take them out of the box) whichever set has lesser resistance is going to deliver a higher voltage to the spark plug - delivering faster response.

The generic reason for replacing plug wires in the first place is that the resistance becomes increased from wear and that the voltage drops to much and the plug doesn't fire with the accurate amount of power.

MSD and Nology both have good reputations, but I always stick to OEM wires - and I have never had a problem with them.

good point about whipping out the DVM and doing some ohm testing in store, I should have been doing that all along.

otherwise, I just stick to what I know.. last time I bought plug wires was for my brother's 97 eclipse gst, like around 50-60 bucks for the premium lifetime warranty, and when he wanted me to change spark plugs for him, I purosely broke the wires so I could put fresh ones in (the dummies at autozone and their warranties).

Re:MSD or Nology?
 
well I can tell you I know of two people, myself included, that won't be buying any accel wires, THOSE TRULY SUCK ----!
one year and the resistance jumped through the roof. now there in the trash. and they came in rice yellow too. :P

just get cheap ngks or oems

Well that's just a load of ----. Low-resistance does NOT equal higher performance. And when you measure the resistance with your DMM, you're only measuring DC resistance @ 1V. You've got AC voltage going through your wires at 20kV; the skin effect applies here. Also, with supposed "low-resistance" wires comes lack of noise suppression.

Here..this is a good read:

As I was taught in automotive school this is how we tested the spark plug wires to see if they were good or not. So I'm not going to take your word over my professors nor my books.

OEM.

My friend went to the Hondata seminar and they recommend not using anything but OEM.
