In my 93 Civic DX Sedan I have a D15B7 and I run the same ones that you put in your ride. I have no problem w/ them at all.
I think that the 92-95 EX/Si Plugs are cooler but can't remember right off hand. If nothing else most auto retailers shoud be able to reference for a cooler plug if you want.
Might not be the plugs though but could be wrong..

if you're not boosted or Hi-Copm NA, use stock plugs. too cold a plug will foul fast and give shitty fuel economy.

I run the same as d16z6 plugs.

the motors arent exactly the same,
but they're close enough. both sohc vtec's putting out similar power, with
similar block/head/piston/etc etc..

nothing drastic enuf to warrant using a different kind of plug.
hunt down info on whats good in a z6.
(basically the standard ngk or denso, and go a setup colder if ur running boost).

Tad gave you the info a while ago

you shouldnt be, correct plug is <U>ZFR6J-11's</U>, that was on the factory sticker on my D15B motor (in a RHD JDM EG4 )

The D16Z6 is BKR6E-N-11 which are different plugs, these are half a heatrange colder, but not as extended tip. Though having said that they may suit your s/c motor a little better, as you want colder tips with charge to reduce the risk of det, but maybe a full 7 may help further, probably ok if you dont live in colder areas

Shotman,

if yours is N/A with bolt ons go for the ZFR's, mine ran a lot better with the correct plugs, if your looking for iridiums, go IK20's or IK22's correctly gapped
