And when should the stock spark plug wires be changed?

 

Stock or Magnecor...


Jason

 

Stock, with neon inserts

 

Stock wires. Change whenever needed. I change 'em once a year or so.. maybe less.

There's no recommended interval on when to change 'em.. but on a stock motor, I'd do it at 45k or maybe 60k.

 

Don't get the Magnecors for an ITR, they don't fit correctly. I had them on my car for 3 months and ended up getting rid of them. Others have complained of the same thing.

OEM Honda work great, unless you have cash burning a hole in your pocket, you don't need anything better.

 

Stock, but painted. #1 is neon green, #2 is hot pink, #3 is sky blue/baby blue and #4 is PY.

Edit: Oh yeah, The PY paint provides the best spark, followed by the hot pink, then the neon green and last the sky/baby blue.

STOCK.

 

NGK Power Cables

 

How much do stock wires cost from acura? I got supposed "exact OEM" replacements from Auto Zone. They cost $55(!) and were bright red Bosch's. My buddy got a set of the same Bosch wires there for his chevy 350 and they cost $35. For twice as many wires. What in the hell!?

 

btw do a search, this topic was hashed over a week or two ago

 

32722-P30-000
Ignition Wire Set

Suggested: $57.57

Your Cost: $46.00

 

I use the Magnecor 8.5mm, but I would say stay with stock.

If you really feel the need to spend some money, go Spoon.

 

or you could save yourself some money and just get some NGK wires instead.

 

Magnacor 8.5mm, been useing them for two years now with no problems and they fit perfect on mine. Probably gonna get the NGK wires next because i can get them cheaper.

I asked this question too and Flux posted this article

NGK Basic Cables
or
NGK Power Cables

Although I'm Running Spoons Grounded version of the NGK Power Cables

 

NGK Power Cables

 

Stock, Had fitment problems with the magnecor.

Basic NGK blues. They are like 40.00 or so.

 

NGK baby!

 

I had Magnecores for a couple of weeks and just HATED the fit ... It almost seems like they were not made for the Integra !! I now have a set of 8.5mm MSD cables which are just sweeeeet !!! Fitment is great !! I like the fact that the boots totally seal against the valve cover and you can hear and feel the plug "click" on the spark plug boot so you know its properly attached. Oh, and the red color blends well with my ITR's valve cover . So, all in all, I'd say OEM is good stuff but if you want something nicer and worth the hassle and cash, go with MSD. If you are interested, the part number is "32349 Super Conductor Wire Set" Description on the box: "Acura/Integra 1.8L VTEC 94-97"

I got these wires a week ago and they absolutly refuse to stay on my plugs. It's crazy as poo poo, I can hear it in my car with the engine running when they pop off. Can someone help me out? I'm sick of clearing codes.

 

good question,Rob. I had the same thing on my mind.

I think number 2 is burnt out,I'm getting no spark from it.

hmmm.....think I'll go with MSD's or just stay stock
