I did a little search & found several Cos that may have wires for the 512TR & presumably the 512M as well http://www.kingsborne.com NGK Or Magnecore Q now is which are the best ? Anybody know ? Thanks
hi william the best advise is go with the factory original wires.. with denso or ngk spark plugs... i have tried after market wires. car turns off in idle in traffic lights... and ferrari dealer only suggests using the original wire... hows your car comming along???? best regards john
the cars are all good 2 problems w factory wires, they are unobtainable if you find them they are $1500 + Crazy situation, F never asked for a new batch from BEHR so we have to wait until they decide to or find some somewhere. I'm going to try some of these other wires & see what works best
They are also selling them on eBay with free shipping but you might need the extenders too? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FERARRI-TESTAROSSA-84-91-Spark-Plug-Wire-Ignition-Set_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33692QQihZ019QQitemZ8075058530QQrdZ1
My bad! I do not have a reference ie. pictures, of the 512TR wires and the 512M ones. It looks like the the part #'s for the 92-94 512TR is IGN-10330. I wonder if that includes the 512M and would there be a different wire set for the 512TR vs the 512M? Did you happen to get a quote for these and may be the 84-91 Teastarossa by chance and if so, share that with us? Thanks
512TR wires are black I hope the 512TR & 512M wires are not different, that would really bite I know the 512M uses different rear brake pads than the 512TR
ICP makes competition ignition wire sets but I'm not sure if they are the proper spec for the 512TR/M http://www.italiancarparts.com/ignitionwires/ignitionwires.html Re-Originals has some too http://www.reoriginals.com/browseproducts/Spark-plug-wire-set--OEM--512-TR---ESP10330.HTML
Pardon my ignorance on this subject as i have a F512M what is the difference between F512M 512TR & TESTAROSSA plug wires can you buy a roll of plug wire and reuse the ends or is the ends different
Dear Ferraristi, Dear William. I have a 91 Testarossa and changed all my wires to Magnecor. I've had very good luck with these wires for the last 2 years. I bought the full wire set and re sleeved and rebooted with my original red silicone jackets. One thing though, the magnecor's are a spiral wound wire. You have to make sure the pin from the distributor hits in the center. ( I know, the 512 TR M don't have dis. pins.) I thought I would just mention it. When I did a resistance check with my m meter, all was consistant to both sides as the resistance dropped as the wire length shortened. Shamile Freeze....Miami Vice !
