most MSD products are not model-specific. you'd get the MSD sport compact ignition upgrade (180 dollars, cerca) and wire it into your existing setup.

Correct, MSD is basically a universal mod. In reality, it doesnt do much, especially since stock honda ignition systems are adequate for turbo applications pushing well over 300whp. HOWEVER, if you want one, you probably will need the MSD DIS series. DIS = Distributorless Ignition System. Cost is more like $300 or so, however last I checked, it does come with a bounty of features.

EDIT: MSD Wires SUCK! Magnecor is a popular choice, however, I have had problems with the fitment. I recommend stock or NGK.

why does anyone care whos wires are good.

if there is no distrtibutor, where do you suppose youd need to put wires? to the battery maybe?
and why are you looking to buy an aftermarket ignition system in the first place? b/t the ecu controlled firing, and the platinum plugs, the comb chambers get more then enough heat to operate properly.

i know how to read, and how to infer. since it was included as part of this topic, i INFERED that it was related. silly me.
also, ive never had problems with msd wires. outside of moroso race wires, msd are prolly the best aftermarket wires available.
