i have a 93 ex and i was wondering if a set of plug wires would work from a 90 crx si? the wires i have are brand new and if i can use them i would like to, they are both 1.6L non vtech so i thought it might work. let me know if i am wrong

 

yes they will fit no matter what, FYI the ex is a VTEC not a VTECH, quick question, how do you have 601 posts and not know how to spell vtec?

 

thanks for the info, sometimes when you are doing a bunch of things at once your fingers hit more than one key, i noticed my mistake after i posted it, but i didnt think anyone would really care because it did not matter. honestly thanks for the info.

 

no problem, I just get worked up when i see vtech, its like the extra h has a power over me

 

honda tech is very sensitive about the spelling of the word vtec. its like misspelling jeesus.

 

some forums automatically block it out if misspelled

 

the wires are different.Honda lists different part numbers,as well as all the aftermarket companies.
the main difference is the length of the "stalk" that goes into the cylinder to snap over the plug head.they will work as long as the CRX wires have a stalk long enough to reach the plug on your car.if it does reach,the dust cover may not fit correctly to the valve cover to keep out dirt and debris.no big deal,but this can allow a buildup of crap that could fall into the cylinder when you remove the spark plug.
best thing to do is just try them.they are different,but may be close enough to justify using them.basically,if they reach down far enough to snap on the plug,they'll work.
bottom line is that a new set of OEM wires is only about $40 from any of the discount sellers.these will of course fit right,and nothing works better.

worst thing you can do is buy those cheap-*** plug wires.i used to buy those cheaper wires when doing swaps because people were too cheap to spend money on good wires.literally over half of them would have problems.resistance too high,ends that pull off,complete lack of continuity,extremely poor fit,etc....they're junk.now i just leave the old stock wires on the new motor going into the car unless the person wants to buy OEM wires.the only wires i'd buy from a parts store are NGK brand.other than that,go to the dealer-the OEM wires are usually cheaper than the NGKs anyway.

yeah stay away from the valucraft parts, the double-silicone wires are about the same as OEM in price and quality, i havent had any problems with them in cars that uve installed them in yet

 

that ive installed them in, im tired
