i am going to get new plugs and wires for my 95 ls. should i go with ngk or just stay oem.

 

ngk are oem

 

From experience, and tests, Honda OEM wires are much better than other Makes of cars. They are better than some aftermarket ones. If your stock wires are fine, dont replace em, its a WASTE of money. Spend that money on Iridium plugs. And yes, go with NGK plugs, better than anything else for your car, no arguement.

lol....they do get worn out, and need to be replaced eventually. and that's a waste of money compared to iridium plugs? haha. they do nothing but last longer. so you can buy the good and cheap ngk coppers (which have better conductivity) and replace them every few oil changes, or spend a bunch more and replace them once a year.

 

so should i just stay with ngk plugs and oem wires. but what about the ngk blue wires? i think thats what they're called i cant really remember. but i just got a new teg with a newer ls motor (last one busted a timing belt) so who knows when they have last been replaced.

 

just stay with ngk wires which are oem and ngk plugs man

but for some reason when u go buy oem they are like $80 so just get ngk for like 35

 

ngk blues are okay, too. blues/oem + ngk coppers =

 

where is the pest place to buy the ngk coppers? thanks

 

best

it doesnt really matter. they're cheap anywhere you go. autozone, pep boys, napa, etc.

 

checker, napa, etc. any place that carries NGK.

 

Yea, Kragen carries the VPower, which is the OEM plugs. I used BOSCH Wires and seems to be running fine.

i thought ngk standards were stock, not v power.

 

thanks for the info

 

v-power came stock on mine I think. I take the code straight from the helms, went to parts store, and the v-power is what they gave me, same code.

you are correct.

 

i got ngk plugs for $1.75 each at pepboys

 

You should have used an ohmeter to test the resistance in each wire. As long as it is under 10,000 ohm per foot, the wire is still fine and would be a waste to replace. It is still good and you wont notice anydifference if the old one's are under 10k ohm per foot. Test before you waste $$$$$$$.

I have a 1994 gsr, and it still has the original wires and plugs. Plugs still look great and wires tested to about 4000 ohm per foot. Im not going to replace the stuff if it is still fine. Its a waste of money.

 

NGK supposedly is really good stuff!

 

All I can tell you is that my 96 civic gets 35mpg, and yea i think those plugs help a bit, if you want to justify the cost, bout half a MPG.
