hey yall, I took my car into this one shop and as soon as i opened up my hood the mechanic tells me that those spark plug wires are going to give me a lot of problems down the road!!!! Now is this guy being bias or is does he know what he is talking about, I dont see why they would they seem perfectly fine to me!!

 

you'll be fine.

 

well oem has been proven the best, and i have known people with nology wires complain, so take it for what its worth.

 

Nology wires are a capacitive discharge wire. the reason that they have a shorter life then most is because the high engine heat destroys the dielectric which is the basis for the capacitive discharge. they will work fine, but expect to replace them sooner then most others.

stock or NGK

So how short is it's life??? 6 months or so??

 

Hey, I'd like to know how long they last... I just installed them last week!

 

bump

 

waste of money I ran them on my h23 and they could do some good for turbo cars but 1% is not worth 150 bucks to me at least

 

We've had problems on stand alone units where the wires interfere with the ECU. Mainly on SDS. Just my 2 cents....

 

i have had them on my h22 eg for 9 months now and their is nothing wrong with them. i felt a pretty good difference when i first put them on. my car started better. i race my car pretty frequently and have had no problem. my engine tends to get pretty hot in the summer cuz im still running the stock eg radiator and fan and they havent been affected. every body that i talked to before getting them recommended them. but yes 150 for them is a little rediculise

 

the only problem i have seen with the NGKs is that they pop off some on the dist. every now and then did it on my friends b18c and another friends h22...anyone know what im talkin about??
