3sgte gen 3 help

[mr2_dori]

im wanting to buy new distrib cap and spark plugs. new spark plug wires. any help on what i should get. is the gen3 motor special order stuff. or are these the same parts of the gen 2 engine

[MR2Jedi]

OEM ignition parts are just as good as aftermarket for stock and mildly modded 3sgte's and for 1/2 the price.

[mr2_dori]

so i can go and order 3sgte gen 2 parts for the gen 3 3s. and it should be ok

[yellow86MR2]

the cap and rotor are the same. The wires on the ends that go to the dizzy have a 90 degree bend. On the gen2 they go straight out.

If you order for a 93-95 US car, than you will get the proper "gen 3" wires. I'm running gen2 wires on my gen3 and it works....but i'm not using the platic trim cover that covers the wires in the middle of the valve cover.

thanks you for your help. and what about the spark plugs. not wires.

[yellow86MR2]

for plugs you can go with something like NGK coppers. BKR7E. They are 1 step colder, cheap to get and work great. Ideal if you are running more than stock boost.

personally i'd go with just a standard NGK plug! the coppers are more expensive and just burn up quicker!

?!? you thinking of something else? These plugs cost a whopping $2 (or less) each.
