Default 98 db8 w/ obd1 B18C-R basic tune up and ignition questions.

I have a 98 4dr GSR with a OBD1 JDM B18C in it. I am looking to do a tune up on it. Plugs, wires, dizzy cap and rotor, change all fluids. I was also thinking about upgrading the ignition system while I was at it. My question is what cap and rotor do I need? I have been searching and I can't find any conclusive answers. Also would it be worth going with an MSD cap rotor and coil setup? Thanks for the help.

Keep the stock ignition setup. There is no need for a MSD setup.

What is your setup? If you are stock, you won't get Much by upgrading the ignition. But if you have bigger plans, that's something else.

I am currently running basic intake, exhaust, header, and no cat. I am also running rc400 injectors, high compression oversized CTR pistons and a chipped p72 ecu. I have been thinking about turboing it but i dont want to rip apart such a nice n/a motor and make it low compression so I am torn on the issue of boost.

The electrodes are wearing out. I have a little over 200,000 miles on the car and I cant remember the last time it was changed. The gas mileage is dropping so I think it is time for a good tune up.

I would just get everything from Acura. Can't go wrong with OEM.
