Hi PF

I found some Magnecor 8 mm... £60

Bad? Good?
Should I choose another brand and/or thicker og thinner?

No need m8 original ford do the job well enough or as gus says motorsport leads which are £20-25 cheaper

Thanks for replies!

It's easy to get fooled buying "better" leads I can see.

I'll go for Ford's then, when I need em.

Cheers!

go for the cheapest out of magnecore, ford and ford motorsport is the consensus but don't buy dirt cheap shit leads.

i've got the red magnecores on my focus but they were cheaper than genuine fords.

I use the 10mm magencor leads on mine and work a treat.Standard ford ones are great too.But i do like adding some nice touches to mine.

kermitt

Me too, give motorsport developments a shout.

Oranoco

Ditto, genuine Ford leads on mine

Tezla82

Wow... Now I'm not to sure anymore

The Blue Magnecor was because my car is blue and that was a small detail too

Actually what I was wondering about, is the 8mm and the brand Magnecor?

Cheers

Motorsport leads are also blue m8 but £20-25 cheaper than the blue magnacor's, magnacor do 8mm blue leads and i think the kv85 are 8.5mm which are red hope this helps m8

Tezla82

Oh...

And Motorsport is the Ford ones?
So I go to my Ford dealer and ask for blue leads?

speak to these guys

they will sort you out with what you want im sure

Thanks for the link but I would like to buy it here in Denmark, because of shipping, tax and customs
But I'll check out and save the site, thats for sure

Then what about spark plugs.. I've read that the Motorcraft 071 should do it but why are they so much cheaper compared to Denso http://shop.motorsport-developments....stem-167-c.asp

essexRSTSouthend

Denso irridum is high boost/powered engines.Most people will use champion plugs or NGK.

Motorcraft is good for up to 170bhp

Motorcraft is good for more than that m8 alot of cossies run the 071's

Tezla82

I've read they can handle more... And I'm hoping one day for 200+ so I should go for Denso? NGK? Champion?

and i'm currently running the same in my 23psi zvh engine, very capable plug IMO.

Tezla82

And a lot cheaper as far as I can see?

essexRSTSouthend

Must be different plug to what i was using then.as i killed my motorcraft and ngk plugs at nearly 200bhp.

Tezla82

Quite a disagreement on plugs I can see

essexRSTSouthend

Why i wasn't told about these plugs before hand.Mad they these plugs are made by motorcraft.It a trade secret ? lol

Anyway here's what i found.. "Known as the 071C these are tried, tested and proven up to 650bhp by the top cars"

Tezla82

With a little luck they should be enough for my Escort

So far the conclusion for me will be Magnecor 8mm leads and Motorcraft 071c plugs
Unless I find more about the Motorsport leads (and the color )
