So I have oem 5sfe plug wires on my 3sgte and wanted toyota oem plug wires but my dumb ass got some from a local parts store.There borg warner wires and they was special ordered. I figured borg warner makes good turbos, so they must make good plug wires. I installed them and a new set of ngk bkr7 plugs. Had irodium paid over 30 for them and they sucked. Any ways the car hesitates now at high boost. I checked all the wires and they are tight and are connected good. So I cant figure out whats wrong. I did not touch anything else on the car but the plugs and wires. Cant fix the issue. I think the borg warner plug wires are pieces of ****s.Anyone use them before? Tommorow I will install the old wires to see if the problem is gone.

Does the 5sfe plugs work with 3sgte? I notice some USDM parts don't work too well for JDM engines especially ignition related. Don't cheap out and buy the lesser parts. Its like fitting a baby hat on an adult head.

Its a jdm 3sgte. I got plugs for a 1993 alltrac, there ngk bkr7e. The wires are for the same car also. Do they make wires for a jdm 3sgte, is there a difference?

bad plug wires will be crap at HIGH RPM not high boost.



Well I guess its high rpms but I said boost cause the boost is high at high rpms.

define "high boost".



About 13-14lbs. I guess its high rpms not high boost? rpms are high when the boost is high and viceversa
