Thoughts and view points on running 10mm Ignition Leads on a Mk3 VR6

[Tubbs76]

Hi all, have any of you run 10mm ignition leads on a Mk3 Vr6 before? If so, what have your experiences been in doing so (good or bad). Looking at picking up a set and would love other users thoughts on whether worth the money.

Cheers,

If anyone interested, fitted the 10mm last night, wow, what a difference. Instant start up, didnt notice to much of a difference just putting around however when you put the boot in, massive difference... mini rocket ship. Highly reco

The major downside for me is they don't fit in the engine cover. However, how bad were the ones you took off, possibly a new set of standard ones would have made a noticeable improvement too?

Years ago when Splifure sparkplugs came out a UK magazine "gained" 15 hp on a 205 GTI. The thing to note was that the plugs they took out had a gap would could measure with a ruler not feeler gauges. So I am always skeptical of imrpovement claims.

yes, keep in mind that i took the photo as soon as installed, once in, i cable clipped them and they dont sit to bad at. Pretty neat considering. On the weekend, Ive got a set of champion double platinum plugs ot go in, and an oil change so i have no doubt should run better again.

The standard ones weren't to bad at all actually. Agree, didn't read to much into the claims but def can feel the better response upon throttle, very noticeable indeed

[Tubbs76]

Once cable tied. Could be better but considering, still neat.,,

What where the plug ends like, standard style metal shrouded items? Pic of them would be great

Look like this

similar anyway...

I would go for copper plugs, cheaper and have much better conductivity, they wont last as long though obviously.

if you get a knife and nip the clips off inside the engine cover should be able to get them back in the slots I reckon!

[Tubbs76]

Would be nice but no good. They are a massive difference in size compared to standard 7ml. I'll take a photo tomoz and post

Probably same as running $100 oil to $20 oil. No point on a stock or even mildly modified vr. Maybe on a big turbo low comp build that really needs a good strong spark.

I think at the end of the day, if it scratches the modding itch it can't hurt.
