In comparison to NGK is boch any good ?

motoxxxman

no. in comparison to NGK, nothing is any good. seriously.
and bosch is about the worst, I have yet to find a single set of bosch wires that work decent in any vehicle, let alone a honda

Bosch might work for a little while but at some point they might start popping off like has happened to other people.

bosch wires frequently arc right out of the box. the biggest issue I've found with bosch wires though is the terminals tear off very easily, making it near impossible to remove and reinstall them without having to replace them. and with Hondas, the wires have to be removed and reinstalled somewhat often compared to other vehicles for several of the standard maintenance things.

NGK wires never arc, and never tear

Also what kind of spark plugs should i use the ngk platnum or the ngk copper ones?

NGK iridium ftw w blue NGK no bs 10.2 mm wires. Go with Japanese parts like the factory did. If u r turbo go a little colder

No aftermarket plug wire will outperform an OEM one.

Working at the dealer I've seen cars from the mid to late 90's come in with the original factory wires and after being curious and doing a resistance test on some, they're still good after 15 years.

All it takes is a simple resistance test.

The only thing really better than the stock ignition system is coil on plug and that's only because you don't have to replace worn out rotors and caps, reliability is better with COP. A bad ignition coil on newer cars is VERY rare.

Same with plugs, unless you've drastically altered the engine the plugs recommended in the FSM will always do the job, no matter how hard you drive the car.

I actually see more misfires on older cars caused simply because someone thought they knew better than the engineers who designed the car and put some blue colored wires on there.

Thanks thats all I needed to know

but NGK wires are often blue :p

Where can I buy some NGK wires? and a cap

motoxxxman

almost any parts store in the country

Sparksman

True that! Ive actually asked if i could order some black ones at my local parts store and they told me they dont carry NGK black cables.... Not sure if the guy was just too lazy of a ***** to actually look it up for me. I ended up just getting blue ones, although would have preferred black for that oem look. Maybe later down the road il try to track down a set.

Never seen an NGK cap only NGK wires and plugs

iv got bosh wires with ngk plugs and i notice no difference. Its just a wire right?

Bosch are for European cars. It will work but NGKs r best for Japanese cars as they are manufactured in japan as well

motoxxxman

bosch wires arc very easily, and the terminals almost always tear right off when you remove them. they're garbage imo. nothing with ever beat ngk wires (well MSD I think is comparable in certain circumstances)
