Spark plug wires

[nando]

Actually he is correct if he's talking about the Motronic system found on the B34. There is a diagnostic sensor that reads off the balancer pulley on the front of the engine that is not essential to the proper running of the engine. All timing data is provided by the two sensors in the transmission bellhousing instead of a toothed wheel on the front of the crank like the B35's running Motoronic 1.3. For the record I removed this sensor on my swapped car with no ill effects.

My mistake then, I misunderstood which "impulse" sensor he was talking about.

basically what Dagamus(NM) said. They fall apart, and numerous people have had severe arching problems out of the box. Mine broke before I even got them in the car, I fixed them, and they broke twice after that.

Thanks. Good to know, thankfully, I have had good luck with them so far.

The impulse sensor is for diag on the old motronic ecu and will not affect running in anyway if not fitted.

wrong. It's for timing the injectors, and it does affect how the car runs. if your car runs like shit anyway you probably wouldn't notice.

unfortunately that's one of the worst wire sets on the market.

nando, What is it about them you don't like?

[Dagamus(NM)]

I use the magnacore one's too, But that is only as they were cheaper than the o/e one's and were in stock there and then.

off topic but I love your avatar. I grew up on that. My sister gave me a copy of neil's heavy concept album last year for my birthday. I didn't even know it existed. Amusing.

Get the bremi stock wires from pelican and be done. The bavauto wires suck, wnet to pull one off last month and the connector at plug #1 disintegrated in my hand. I thought no problem as I had a set of the ie wires that were given to me when I went to their shop in January as a sorry about the prious hassles offering. They have a generic clip at the plug end to make it grab the threads and two of the six didn't work, would not stay put. I could not get them to work so I ended up buying a set from pelican. Worked exactly as they are supposed too.

is it better than before?

Well, is it better? Yes, regarding the fact that I was running 20 years old original wires previous to this upgrade. I did notice an immediate increase in responsiveness. Not to say that I'm really benefiting from the "expensive wires". But they can't hurt. I don't know if that is helpful to you or not.

When I tuned my 200K M20 I went to Nology Plugs (not wires) and saw a nice increase a performance and gas mileage..
I plan on using them when I get my M30 installed as well...
I replaced my wires with OE.....

I bought some of B&B Spark Plug wires through ebay and cannot be happier. The seller was turboregal84.

Stand up guy. He sent the wrong wires originally, but was more than helpful in correcting this. He sent the correct wires before I sent back the faulty ones. In hindsight, he probably would get jipped quite a bit, but it really helped me out with the "downtime" of my car.

All-in-all, great product for the price ($69 for a set of wires). I recommend them to anyone looking for decent set of spark plug wires, yet don't want to pay $200+.

P.S.
these are 8mm wires

Anyone have experience with BMP wires?

[zaust]

to be honest, my buddy picked up a magnecore setup in 8.5mm and it was right around $100.00 He loves them, and the only thing needed to be done is to slide the impulse sensor wire from your old set to the magnecore set
