Magnecor 8.5mm Plug Wires for the Evo IX The benefits of upgraded plug wires are debated almost as much as brake pad compound. There is an argument to be made that, as long as your stock parts are in good condition, there is little to no benefit in upgrading your wires. The factory engineers such parts to suit the requirements of the motor.
That said, ensuring that you get consistent spark is a critical component of tuning a motor. If you are serious about getting the most out of your modifications, the last thing you want is misfiring or a weak spark limiting the consistent performance of your motor. Upgraded plug wires are cheap insurance for just such a case.
Magnecor makes plug wires for hundreds of applications and is very well respected. They offer a kit for the Evo that uses an upgraded 8.5mm wire and OEM-like connectors for easy installation. Installation takes all of 15 minutes for an experienced mechanic.

Start by removing the spark plug cover. Use a 10mm socket to take the bolts off and not a screwdriver.

Grab the base of the rubber boot connecting the plug wire to the coil and disconnect them. Do the same for the spark plug connector. Don’t ever tug on spark plug wires, as you’re likely to disconnect the wire from the connectors internally.

The Magnecor wires fit in the exact same way as the factory wires. Holding onto the rubber boot on the rubber boot on each connector, make sure that you have a solid connection at each point.
Before you put the cover back on, fire up the motor and make sure she runs smoothly. If it idles as expected, than you’re done. Pop the spark plug cover back on and you’re ready to roll.
