i'm dropping my motor in soon, but don't know what plugs & wires to use. *all motor setup*

so if you don't mind, just post what plugs & wires you're using and how u feel about them.

that is all.

 

im all stock but i use NGK V-Power (OEM) and OEM honda wires.

but i would assume for a all motor build you would want to go with iridums. anyone?

 

Regular NGK plug and NGK wires work great

 

Bosch cables and Bosh platinum sparks. Really recommend those sparks

*shrug* just personal preference.

 

I would (and have on both my Accord and Civic) go with stock NGK or Denso plugs and stock wires.

 

At the present time I am running with OEM Dealership wires (NGK) and NGK Iridium IX ZFR5FIX-11plugs.
I have a set of Accel 8.8's and an Accel E-Core Super Coil that I will use with the NGK plugs when I re-build.

 

I should also note that I did use MSD wires on my Accord as well but there is no gain so... but they looked good being red with my black/red valve cover

 

various suggestions of this brand but it's goin to be NGK and some OEM spec wires.

thanks for the input

on another note, anyone tried "Spoon Sports" plug wires yet?

 

I've never looked but I'm betting they are way over priced.

 

OEM coil packs and OEM plugs.

there was a thread on H-T awhile back, cant remember whcih section it was in. but they tested brand new NGK wires VS 8 yr. old OEM honda wires on a stock engine (i think there was minor bolt-ons, thats about it) on a dyno and there wasnt any significance difference between the two

 

oem ngk plugs and 9mm or 10mm wires.

those are some thick *** wires, where the hell would you even find something like that??

IMO should've went went with Denso Iridiums. I'm a huge fan of NGK, but when it comes to iridiums i think Denso is where its at. from everything i read Densor and NGK iridiums are almost identical, except with the denso's having a thinner electrode by .2mm IIRC, which gives it a more concentrated/powerful spark which also has less rsistant(ohms) vs. the thicker NGK iridiums which only gives you longer plug life with the thicker electrode. but iridiums in optimun situation should last upwards of 80k miles, and people who spend the money for it are looking for max performance anyway, so the longer plug life of the NGK IMO is not justified.

 

can anyone tell where to get NGK wires

I usually get mine from a local auto part, if not ebay or rockauto.com

You can get them from any website that sells performance after market parts and if not, there is always ebay. I used to pay over $50 from performance website, I got on ebay for 38. Less than what oem spec cost and I really love the look and how smooth my car feels, been using them for over six years on all my family cars (all honda, accord, civics and crv) with no problems, plus they last so much longer

 

with plug resistance it goes.. copper&gt;iridium&gt;platnum
as far as longevity.. iridium&gt;platnum&gt;copper
There was a huge article in Sports Compact Car a few years back, check there site and do a search.
And you will never increase performance with plugs and wires, you'll just gain back what you lost since your last set.
The above statement is technically not true for forced induction, but it's still not the plug gaining the power

 

not looking for a power gain if the above was meant for the OP, just wanted to have everything new
