mic Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I'll be changing the ignition leads on a MY00 uk turbo, I'm looking at magnecor ones, what's the difference between 8mm and 8.5mm etc apart from the obvious 0.5mm before anyone cares to point that out Cheers Michael

mic Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 I'm sure someone will be along and start chucking mathematics about and prove ya wrong there as well since technically it doesnt have any sides But lets not start on that pleeeeease lol

mic Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 Anyone?? Trying to figure out what ones to buy, looking to buy them tonight so any help is much appreciated Cheers Michael
colin_ross Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 The extra 0.5 in diameter once squared and multipled by 3.14 actually works out to a reasonable increase in the amount of conductive material the coil pack has to pass the current through. Is there a price difference? If so by the cheap ones unless you're going to be running MEGA boost and need to run a lot of current to stop the spark being blown out.
mic Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 Ah cheers bud, 8mm ones about 20quid cheaper to i'll just get them Thanks again Michael
simon_gibson Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Its to do with electronic principal that one strand of wire can only carry 0.5 Amp so the thicker the wire the more individaul strands of wire inside therefore the more Amps it can carry. Impressed myself that time
