JDM b16 Spark plugs
Im going to do a tune up on my jdm b16 gen 2 motor soon. I was wondering what the best spark plugs would be best for me? The motor has about 100k on it. Has Intake, rmf header, greddy sp2 exhaust, ITR cams, and tuned on 93 octane. Im also going to go with OEM wires or should i go with NGK?

Re: JDM b16 Spark plugs
dont get copper plugs, get NGK v power plugs, they're the base NGK plug and are actually the best u can use on a honda.. all that platinum irridum BS doesnt make a big difference on a honda, only in your wallet... most big turbo guys run them just in a different heat ranges... you should just get plugs and wires for a 99-00 Si, V-powers are like 2 bucks a piece ...

Re: JDM b16 Spark plugs
OEM wires are hands down the best wires for the money. And there is zilch wrong with OEM plugs. I've seen several dyno tests over the years.
IF there is a discernible difference it's not enough to spend more than 2 minutes deciding which spark plug to get.
Properly gapping them will do more for your engine than the type/brand of plug. OEM plugs are cheap, and work great.

The ones you linked are a heat range 8 non-resistor racing plug. It would fit the engine but would foul quickly. These are used on 500+ whp turbo motors.

Re: JDM b16 Spark plugs
I believe the 11 in the part number corresponds to the gap 1.1mm, I would check the gap before install even if they are pre gapped, I have had sets where the gap was perfect out of the box and some that needed adjusting and BKR6E-11 is what you want as stated above

Re: JDM b16 Spark plugs
these, you want a stock replacement plug not a racing plug

Re: JDM b16 Spark plugs
JDM or not those laser spark plugs that they sell at usually any auto parts stores are the ****. Its a laser beam instead of actual spark. They work really well.

Re: JDM b16 Spark plugs
Lets help you answer your own question. Is your plug in question the same heat range as the stock plug? Is your plug in question copper or some other material.
If you said yes to the heat range and yes to copper and it is the same physical dimensions as the stock plug... Then yes it will be fine on your vehicle assuming a rather stock setup. If you said no or some other answer to either of those two questions, it has been stated in this thread multiple times that it's not as good for your motor.
