coil on plug wires? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

i have seen a couple of 1mz-fe v6 motors with bigger diameter wires leading to the coil on plugs. just wondering where to get those from?

Bigger isn't always better.

Stick with the stock ones . Can't beat Toyota quality in their parts.

if you arnt going to go with a hotter spark you dont need it. i got mine set hotter and faster and i'm still running stock.

true, with some things, but usually isnt bigger wire better b/c it flows more/better? (like regular spark plug wires, sound system wires, etc...)

You have to find out how much Ohm's per foot it is.

The lesser it is the better it will deliver the spark.

bigger dose flow more but also can give more resistance. you are going to independent coils that regulate power anyways so you would not be helping your self out.

keep it simple. Ohms and resistance and amp rateings are only going to mess with his head.

the answer is no it does not help. it might even make it worse. stay with stock you will be fine

actually i know about ohms resistance and amps, i just dont know much about coil on plugs. but thanks for the info.
