Hey there all. I have a 2003 PT Turbo. I had a cracked spark plug which caused my car to really mess up and I am looking to upgrade my ignition cables and plugs so as to avoid this problem again. What I need to know is what are the best Spark Plugs I can buy for a turbo engine and what are the best kind of ignition cables I can buy for a turbo engine? I was thinking of getting ZEX performance triple contact spark plugs and magnecor 10mm racing ignition cables. Does this sound good?

Not sure about the spark plugs (you better double check if the reach is ok, I believe the pt spark plugs are longer), but I have Magnacore's R-100 10mm wires and am happy with them.

ptcrusin42, what did you end up getting? I am thinking about getting a new ignition coil with the nology wires and zex plugs. But the nology wires are really expensive.

I'm using the R-100 10 mm Magnecor wires, and a screamin Demon coil. I am running the Champion #3032 (single Platinum) 1 heat range colder than stock (Plug# RE10PMC5). I have pulled the plugs afer about 7000 miles and they still look and work great. They are gapped@ .042 and I run 2 stage boost, stage 1 10lbs max, Stage 2 15lbs max. Have not had a single ignition issue since I went to that setup and the car runs like a bat out of hell........

Cruizn42,
I'm not sure if the ZEX plugs would work for your application. I have them in my 2001 with the ZEX NOS system but they are a colder plug and thry're intention is to help stop detonation when the NOS is added. Hope this helps. Jerry |
