Found these Top Gun HD Max 300 leads on ebay. They say they are specifically designed for LPG. Anybody using these?

Or these Top Gun Premiums which also have the LPG stamped on the box.

Not worried about paying the extra to get the Heavy Duty ones as long as they perform better than the premium. But premium generally refers to the top of the line equipment in most cases icon_confused.gif Anyone got a clue on the Top Gun leads?

OK. I looked it up for myself, and I think i'll go the Max 300 set.
Here is the info I found on LPG engines.

I have been happy with the performance of the top guns but not the quality. I.E. the caps came off a couple when checking plugs

A few on here have mentioned that they have used a certain brand of leads for years and that their cars started backfiring, well i don't know about the rest of you but with the older LPG systems (OMVL90) it's a good habbit to change your leads/spark plugs every 6 months or so, this ensures that you have no issues and have a top notch ignition system. Now 6 months may be a bit overkill for some, you may find that the leads are the ones that should be changed more regularly, the spark plugs maybe once per year, i have found though only after 6 months that my spark plugs have carbonised a fair bit.

Of course with the newer LPG systems like SVI this is not necessary at all and backfires are almost non-existant.

I have ICE leads with non resistor NGK plugs & can't complain about them at all on my EB. I tried a few brands of leads & plugs, before getting the ICE leads & NGK non resistor plugs, now the eb runs really good.

ICE rebuild my dizzy & supplied all ignition hardware for my Turbo torana project as well.

to put it simply all ICE leads are 'GAS' leads and really its your plug selection that will be the difference when using there product.

I would be interested in seeing the performance of the top gun's.
As previously stated older gas systems are less efficient there for requiring more maintaince and upkeep ie; changing plugs and leads more regularly.

Well more to the point, the ICE leads are low resistance. I think the plug i'm using atm is a BP5ES, been in the car for about 20k kms now, look close to new. The ICE leads are just as old. That's about 5mths of driving for me. I have a SVI system in my EB, EasyJet, and had minor issues with backfiring/cross firing with resistor plugs & a couple of brands of leads that didn't last me long. No further issues with new plugs & leads.

I wouldn't mind getting a new coil & a booster from ICE too, boosts the coil voltage up a couple of volts & should give a fatter spark. I think the Bosch coil i have on atm will handle upto 16v input anyway. A booster was recommended for my Torana, but i'm yet to get the engine running. Been too busy. Maybe by early next year i'll have it running & see if i need a booster. It's a 173ci red 6cyl, T04B turbo, 440 GRA, ICE custom Electric dizzy, ICE coil, ICE leads & non resistor plugs.

Cheers
