I have been reading the posts and what people have in their car and i dont think i have seen a one with someone upgrading the ignition. I am talking about a simple upgrade. Th spark plug wires. I had some 11mm Red Nology wires and they kicked ass. Is there some reason TL owners stay away from spark plug wires? Evan

HA -
Ignition mods are not usually worth the time and money . . . except for highly modified cars.

Things such as supercharges, turbos, major internal engine modifications and such. The TLs iginition system is sufficient for CAI and header mods.

That said, I've read claims that the Denso spark plugs and similar types do report some gains.

Also, you guys adding high powered electronics should be careful when doing so. You need to consider what the extra voltage will do to other parts of the system. So be sure and upgrade potential weak links. Such as, will the current plugs handle it or burn out sooner.

 

Forgive me for not knowing as much as you. I have just stared looking into FIxing up my car and if you "Rice1304, Crzy Acura" are the speaking for everyone else then I decided to buy/fix up the wrong car, maybe i should go back to toyota. Evan
