Mazda speed leads too short!

Post by Papamoeziz » Thu May 05, 2016 10:00 pm

Hey all, putting the car back together with a few mods to it (coil pack moved slightly towards the east, and now my no.3 lead doesn't fit. I have literally moved it 10mm back, And now it's 10mm short, so where it was it must have been f****en tight! (Not that I really noticed) They're also 1.6 leads on the 1.8 I beleive, so could this be the cause? And if so, does anyone know where to get some good turbo leads for an 1800 in similar spec to the Mazda speed ones?

Car is NA6C 1.8 Miata link turbo.
Thanks.

I don't know what spec your MazdaSpeed leads are but I used the NGK leads (from Broomfish) on my turbo race car. They had been on for 6 years when I sold the engine and were still OK.
I recently put a new set of Bosch leads on my 1.8 and had a similar problem, but in my case # 1 lead was too short. I overcame it by switching the position of the coils on the bracket.
BTW, Mazdaspeed leads sets are the same for both 1.6 and 1.8, so I don't think this is your problem.

WHat Keith said, The leads are the same for the NA & NB 1.6 and 1.8 (except for the VVT NB)

Thanks guys, looks like I'll have to go looking and measuring lengths till I find a right set.
