just wondering whats the best spark plugs/wires for the car performance wise..

sorry i jus came from a domestic

 

go to a local auto parts store and get some NGK spark plugs, as for me i got the platinum ones... also i got some MSD wires. i dont kno how people feel about msd wires, but i got them as a gift so .... but i cant complain

 

okay i was thinking NGK platinum's..

what about wires everyone?

 

For stock ignition system I would stick with NGK's. With exception of MSD, the rest of 'em just don't fit right or are just pure shitty quality.

 

THere was a very convincing thread on here that i saw maybe.... a month or two ago. OEM wires were the best. Or at least the longest lasting.

 

oem or ngk.

 

also Denso is good. I prefer NGK.

Stock. OEM plugs and wires.

OEM = NGK or Denso copper. They're about $2 ea. Don't waste your money on anything else.

Platinum are for newer cars that have 100K between plug changes, and are actually not as good of a conductor as copper.

Irridium are $12 - 15, and you'll never feel the difference they give you unless you're built to the hilt; and still might net less than a hp on the dyno.

 

NGK IRIDIUM plugs MSD wires works great for me O btw I have msd distibutor also so tht helps

That's what I've experienced too.

Yeah, people don't seem to realise how efficient the OEM systems are. It's not like some other cars where you can gain alot of 'free' horsepower.

127 and 160 hp (00 EX and Si respectively) out of 1.6L? The systems are pretty damned optimized already; and I have seen many cases where aftermarket parts have actually decreased hp on Honda motors.

There are much better and cheaper ways to gain horsepower than the ignition system. Until you're running well over the stock redline, you can't beat OEM Honda ignition.
