Yo all. I gotz a question. My girl has an 01' LS but is about to start driving the 97 EK Hatch she just picked up. Naturally I wanna do a tune-up on her hatch right quick and i wanna kno if I kan take the $70 NGK Blue spark plug wires off her B18B1 in her LS and use them for her Hatch's D16Y7??? The NGK Blues are less than 5,000 miles / 1 Year Old.

Would save us hella money on the tune-up lol

Try one and see. I'm pretty sure they're different, but its pretty easy to check them.

hondaOchibi7

So if they fit i kan use em?? lol Would it be viable to check the resistance on the wires in her single cam to the resist of her blues??

94EG8

Yes. D and B-series engines have essentially identical ignition systems. Everything electronic in the distributor is interchangeable with a D-series, wire resistance should be about the same. Btw, if the wires on the D-series are original honda/sumimoto wires they'll probably work better than the NGK wires anyway. (NGK wires are great wires, but even they aren't quite as good as 15 year old original honda wires)

I don't think they are interchangeable, but go ahead and check.
Just get some Accel wires off eBay. They're ricey looking, big fat wires, but they're pretty cheap.

I know they sell universal spark plug wires in many catalogs like summit racing. So I think if they fit they should work.

hondaOchibi7

the wires on her single right now are Belden wires.

Gotta wait for her to get home before I kan check if her blues will fit on her hatch..

speedooo

The clips on each end are identical but the seal on the valve cover is a different size. So yes they work, but personally I wouldn't run them.

hondaOchibi7

Meh.. Wutz gonna get in there honestly? lol its not gonna end up running totally open anyways maybeh its worth it??

ricky00

one wire might be short.. my buddy using my stock b16 plugs on his dx and cylinder 4 plug (the one closest to the dist.) is short from the dist..

hondaOchibi7

So is he running all 4 b16 wires??? Or is cylinder 4s wire just way too short? Im still gonna check myself but my girl took her Teggy to her fams house. Forgot its christmas eve lmao

ricky00

he running on 3 b16 n 1 d15 plug lol nothing wrong with it though cylinder 4 was like 2 inch short u could plug it but it wouldve been tight with no freeplay

aka red

if you try to run it that way and you get a misfire then it's a waste because you'll end up doing more damage than it's worth. If money is that tight then try it.

hondaOchibi7

Anyone know the resistance spec of plug wires for a D16Y7? Im just gonna check the resistance of the wires on her d16 now and see if theyre in spec.

hondaOchibi7

For the record, B series plug wires dont fit D series motors its a real sketchy fit and it feels like the plug wire doesnt completely fit on the plug or over the plug hole properly.

if the hood still has some of the motor spec stickers then it might say there
