depending on the motor get hte Laser type or the Iridium type NGK plugs they are expensive but worth it. and i have heard the best kind of wires to use on a performance engine is Magnecore

NGK plugs and wires..OEM being NA it becomes overkill getting anything else

magnacore or nice set s too and so are the dozen other plat. and irid. plugs..but ur not going to get any additional power..if u want better performance get a set of grounding wire s

yeah he is right OEM is the best. most of the honda and acura OEM plugs are the iridium or the laser NGK plugs though. please don't be foolish and put bosche or any other type or platinum's in your motor

OH and i just realized you said (in my pot) you run a SOHC turbo so you might benefit from a larger wire and COLDER plug. COLD PLUG!!

my oem d16z6 wires are sumitomo, not ngk. the oem plugs are ngk. since u have turbo look into colder plugs as some other peeps have said to help avoid detonation. also, i think 10 mm is kinda thick, so maybe look for something around 8.5 or 9. just my 2cents...

Quick question, everybody says run a colder ngk plug on a turbo car, I know the reason I just dont know plugs to know whats hotter/colder or whatever the other qualities a plug could have.
