I'm thinking of upgrading the plug wires on my Accord. The two I've been eying are these http://store.summitracing.com/...=Make

or these
http://store.summitracing.com/...=Make

Has anyone used either on this car? I have the MSD's on my truck and like them so far.

 

cant see anything try posting the pics, it has says to add make model year and all that other good stuff. However i heard MSD are good im running Tsudo 9.5 mm and hasnt let me down.

 

or




One set is Taylor ThunderVolt 8.2 Spark Plug Wires the other is MSD 8.5mm wires.

 

The blue would match my engine bay a lot nicer than the red so thats a plus. It would match my amp wire and my CAI.

 

by far,, the best plug wires you can get,,,,,,,,,beleve it or not,,, it is the factory honda plug wires ,,,,all the other stuff might look good but it will perform worse

 

Has anyone used to Taylor ones I'm seriously considering those. I want to know why the plug wires for this Honda cost more than the ones for my Ram when the Honda only needs 4 wires my Ram needed 8 plus the coil wire and they all were a lot longer than the ones on the Honda.

 

I don't know why they cost more but...

Personally, I would just stick with factory plug wires. If you buy them from HAP or some other online dealer, you can get them cheaper than those two you posted. If you go to a local dealership, you should be able to get them cheaper than the MSD wires and for about the same price as those Taylor wires.

I had those MSD wires on my F22B1 for about 6 months before I totalled the car, they make no difference. I actually still have them on the motor and will most likely be taking them off and replacing them with factory wires when I rebuild the motor.

 

i got those they are not the exact wires because mine had the rubber boot. But have you searched ebay for the ones you want?

amen, first thing you need to do is test the resistant of the wire with a multi meter, if it's within factory spec, there's no reason to replace them.

ngk stock is proven to have the most stable vs. aftermarket spark "hose"

 

yeah. and ngks can be gotten for less than oem replacements. they're great. only other leads i'd run other than my magnecor R-100s.

 

NGK

 

I can get the ones from Summit cheaper as I have a $20 off thing. I may go OEM although I don't really like OEM and would like bigger wires.


I don't know if they need to be replaced but they haven't been in a while so I don't think it would be a bad idea to go ahead and replace them.


Anyone know if the Honda's have a coil wire like some other vehicles do? I'm to lazy to go out and look.

Just so i throw this in...........In a recent DYNO test among many plug wires,,,,,,,,,The factory plug wires outperformed them all...............
do not be lured in by all the fancy colors, or advertisment stick with factory Honda wires

 

If you're just going with regular wires... as many have said, stick with the factory ones. However, you may want to look into hot wires. Nology makes some good ones. They condense electrical energy and send a stronger current to your plugs resulting in a stronger spark

I would save that $20 off for something else and buy factory plug wires.

You mean the wire that would run between the distributor cap and an external coil?

Some Hondas do, but your F22B1 has an internal coil so there is no extra coil wire running outside of the cap. Just four plug wires running from the cap to the spark plugs, nothing more.

 

is it worth upgrading the plugs/wires on my 04? would it be worth it to get the hot wires? (I'm asking this because you guys were talking about the 96, wasn't sure if there was a difference between the generations)

 

if im not mistaken, you can get blue NGks from seller in the sponser forum

 

Ok one more question what kind of plugs are you guys using and what are you gapping them at? Are you gapping them to factory specs?

 

NGK, Yes factory gap. How the engine "runs" is important. How the engine "looks" means nothing.

Just stay with OEM Honda. I wouldn't think you would need to replace them just yet, but to be sure, just check them with a multimeter and see if they are within specs. If so, leave them alone, if not, replace them.

 

NGK or Denso with factory gap specs.

The numbers listed below are from the Helm manual.

F22B1 & F22B2

<U>For all normal driving</U>
ZFR5F-11 (NGK)
KJ16CR-L11 (Denso)

<U>For hot climates or continuous high speed driving</U>
ZFR6F-11 (NGK)
KJ20CR-L11 (Denso)

Electrode Gap = 1.1mm or .043"

 

What about if your using Nitrous? Would you still use OEM? Im curious to know.

actually the gap spec is .040 to .044.........set plugs to the smallest gap,, in this case .040,, because as they wear gap will get bigger ..if you set them at .043 to start with then gap will be wider,(out of specs ) sooner

Are you saying that .040-.044" is for 5th gens or a different year? Cause in my Helm manual for a 95 Accord, 1.1mm or .043" is the spec listed for F22B1 and F22B2 motors.
