Well, you order them by calling me, but before I can give you a price I need to know what you are working on (which year and which engine)...

Cool. Some guys with turbo cars prefer to run the plain NGK copper plugs chuck mentioned above. They feel that there is no reason to run OEM platinum because they replace them so often. If you are going to replace them frequently that does make sense. I don't carry the copper plugs, so I'll list the OEM stuff here and let you make the call. The '92 NA gets copper plugs from the factory.

For the '94 SW20:
90919-01180-83 - $6.64 - ND platinum spark plug (ea)
90919-21536 - $65.36 - Plug wire set

For the '92 SW21:
90919-01164 - $1.73 - ND copper spark plug (ea)
90919-21486 - $52.73 - Plug wire set

All of this is in stock. As far as quality goes, the factory Toyota wires are made by Yazaki and are second to none in performance, fit, and longevity. That said, everybody knows NGK parts are also top shelf, and I would be happy to use them on any of my cars. I think it is fair to assume that they will be nearly as good, if not as good, as Toyota's wires.

I get the feeling I just talked myself out of a sale!

Dont ever touch your stock wires or plugs. Toyota's **** is where it's at for performance. Other than oem toyota, you should only ever go with TRD, but good luck finding the stuff new.

Here's an example, on a 98 TT supra, we threw the new gt850 turbo on it and went to the dyno with some aftermarket plug wires and iridium plugs. The car made 693 whp corrected. When we switched over to the OEM's on the exact same tune and about a 10 minute difference, the car made 710 whp corrected....coincidence? I thought so too, but then I tried it out on my old MR2 and same ****! dyno'd 282whp switched over to the stockers and 294whp!!!

Toyota's turbo **** rocks

Toyota Racing Development

PTR04-02850-01 - $105.51 - 4AGE AE86. Plug wires fit, coil wire too short for AW11 NA
PTR04-17901-01 - $118.75 - '91-'92 3SGTE SW20 Turbo
PTR04-17920-02 - $118.75 - '93-'95 3SGTE SW20 Turbo

Note that the '91-'92 wires are marked 'discontinued' on the TRD website. There are still some sets in stock in the US as of this post, so if you want them, I would suggest getting them now before they run out!
