Taylor 8mm spark plug wires

Our performance spark plug wires are designed to be a direct fit into a Volvo 240/700/900. These wires are assembled by hand using a high quality terminal crimping tool. Each connector is crimped tightly and then inspected to ensure that it won't pull off under normal use. We decided to use Taylor's 8mm Spiro-Pro silicone wire for its versatility, pliability and array of color choices. After extensive testing with these wires in our 242 we have nothing but good things to say about them. They will do a great job of replacing the old cruddy factory wires that are falling apart on your car, and they look great too! Higher output ignition components like MSD coils will benefit from these wires, getting as much spark energy as possible to the plug.

We can build them using wire in any of the following colors: Black, Red, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Orange, and Hot Lime. If you want to match your plug wires to the color of your engine bay, this is a great way to do so! These wires are made to order, the turnaround time will usually be less than two weeks. Paypal is the preferred method of payment, but money orders or checks can also be mailed to us, please e-mail to inquire.

*Note, all of these wire sets are designed for the 4 cylinder 8 valve engines. If you have a V6 or a 16v engine please e-mail us at sales @ cravingboost.com for an estimate.

$70.00 for the 240 plug wires (and 740 with block mounted distributor). (like this)

Add $4.00 for black spark plug boots. Just like the high temp red ones pictured, only black.

+ $10.00 for high temp fiberglass sleeves. Very useful to prevent the wires from being exposed to the high heat environments of race cars and large turbochargers. This braid can actually rest on a hot turbo or manifold without melting, while transmitting very little heat through to the wire.

$83.00 for the 700/900 series plug wires with head mounted distributor. (like this)

Add $4.00 for black spark plug boots. Just like the high temp red ones pictured, only black.

**I recommend that you use resistor spark plugs when using these wires, especially if you're running programmable engine management like Megasquirt. Some users complained that their Megasquirted car ran weird with these wires, and I noticed that on my car as well. Simply switching to resistor spark plugs cured everything.

Customer Product Reviews

Love your wires, best I have every bought.
Neill from Austrailia

I can vouch that these are some seriously high-quality pieces! I'm running a good .010 wider gap than I was able to on either bougis or Ford 8MM ones.

Adrian from Bellingham Washington, USA

These are definitely by far the best wires I've owned. I've had bougi's and $150 NGK's and compared to John's wires, they were like using speaker wire...I wish he would have made them a couple years ago

Benson from Kelowna BC, Canada

I received mine a couple of days ago and they look awesome......fit nice and snug too....I would recommend John and his awesome products!! Throw away those Bosch things and grab something that will last and perform well.

Not only do you get to choose a colour, but everything people say about them is true, they're just high quality. The thing I like best is how they are snug on the spark plugs though, that was my main reason for getting them originally. When I was complaining about my OEM plug wires not popping onto my plugs properly, somebody recommended these, and they're perfect.
Sean from Dundas Ontario, Canada

Bump for great wires. Got mine last fall. Awesome stuff

Thierry from N-D-Ile-Perrot Quebec, Canada

As a customer of john's with his wires, JOHN>>>>>All.
They're also perfect. Seriously. I <3 my wires. They have survived three catastrophic turbo failures!

Ian from Southern Maryland, USA

I had a set of the Kingsbourne wires and I must say, they are a rather poor design. The connectors break easily (I know, I broke two of them) and they are not easy to remove.
Thank you for providing a good quality product! I'm happy with my set (so far). They take 5 minutes to install and fit very well. I was very surprised to find dialelectric grease already inside the spark plug boots (attention to detail wins every time).

Donald from Shelton Washington, USA

I have a set of the 240 wires. They are high quality. Better value than than other performance wires.

Chris from Portland Oregon, USA

These plug wires are of great quality, and stay on REALLY well. Of all the separators I've tried, the ones you included with the set of wires in my 940 have been the ONLY ones to both fit the wires and not melt and deform or fall off.

The wires held up AMAZINGLY on that rally from Santa Barbara to Vegas (14 hours of solid driving, and quite spirited btw) and the wires still look brand spankin' new!
And that was back in November, they STILL look new.

(and haven't fallen apart like the IPD wires ;) )

David from Southern California, USA

John puts love into his wires, you can't get that from a machine.

Bryce from Santa Rosa California, USA

How can you say 'NO' to John's lime green wires?

When it came time for the brick to get new wires, John's wires were at the top of my list. After reading all the feedback on John's wires posted on Turbobricks and comparing his against others, I know I made the right decision.

Brian from New London Wisconsin, USA

Perfect fit, finish and function. Tried, tested and approved by me and lots of other guys here. Personally guaranteed by the original manufacturer, a fellow t-bricker.
Buy them.
