| Vitek Performance
delivers performance to the marine industry with the
Marine and Marine Braided ignition wires. The
line of high performance ignition products is designed specifically
with the marine enthusiast in mind. Marine ignition
wires are the highest quality inboard and I/O custom spark
plug wire sets available. Marine quality spark plug
wires are also available as custom fit outboard leads designed exclusively for
outboard marine engines.
The Wire: The Marine spark plug wire is constructed
of the highest quality components available for use in marine
applications. The wires begin with a special Stainless Steel
Mag Wire core designed to deliver the hottest possible spark
and to eliminate disruptive Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
and Electromechanical Interference (EMI). The core is constructed
with braided KevlarT, which is micro spiral wound with stainless
steel and coated with ferrite-impregnated latex. The spark
plug wire is then processed to apply a 100% pure silicone jacket
with a layer of braided fiberglass for pull-off strengthening,
and finished with another jacket of self-extinguishing 100%
pure silicone jacket for the added heat protection up to 450ºF
in a 8mm wire.
For added heat protection and strengthening, Vitek offers
their exclusive Marine Braided ignition wire. As most
people know, horsepower equals heat therefore greater horsepower
produces higher engine compartment temperatures. The
Marine Braided ignition wire braid has been tested to resist
engine temperatures up to 1200º F. This is what makes
our Marine ignition cables the very best. Normal standard
silicone wires will withstand temperatures of about 450º F.
Most applications will never surpass this temperature but for
extreme engine environments, the braided wire is the solution.
The Marine Braided ignition wires are handcrafted which
produce a far superior product. Available colors are Red , Yellow,
Blue, Green, Purple, White, Black, or Silver . Because
of the very long life of the Marine Braided ignition
wires, sometimes performance enthusiasts are interested in
a new look under their engine compartment cover. Vitek Performance
offers complete re-braiding on any set of Marine Braided
ignition wires in any available color for only $55 ºº per
set plus shipping. Simply send in your wires and Vitek Performance
Products will make them look like new.
The Terminals : The
Marine spark plug wire quality is continued at the ignition
cable terminal. The terminals are made of 100% stainless steel
as opposed to zinc plated steel or bare steel with no plating
which most manufacturers use to cut costs. The use of Stainless
Steel prevents premature failure of the wire set by eliminating
terminal corrosion. The spark plug terminals incorporate an
extra long crimp area, which increases terminal pull off strength
to over 50 pounds. This is twice the strength of most ignition
wires on the market. Terminal pull off is the number one cause
of claimed defective wire sets. A high-grade steel snap ring
is designed into the terminal, which not only ensures a positive
connection but also eliminates an area of possible electronic
interference generation. In addition, where a bent terminal
is required, Marine uses a terminal bent to the shape
of the boot rather than a straight terminal forced through
a 90º degree boot as seen in many of our competitor's
products. While our terminals are as much as three times the
price of those used by our competitors, the contribution to
a superior finished product far exceeds the investment.
The Boots : Marine
spark plug wire cable boots are made of pure high-grade silicone
so as to withstand the high heat and moisture conditions encountered
in marine applications. The coil end boot features an extra
long neck to combat moisture and preserve the crucial connection.
Both in appearance and function, these boots are as good as
it gets.
