hey,

What are some good spark plugs and wires for our type r's? i know stock would be wise but anything else someone can recommend? I also have a MSD-6al with external Blaster coil if that makes a difference...

thanks

 

I've looked into OEM B-series VTEC plug wires for the ITR/GSR applications and they're shown as "Discontinued" on Honda Canada screens.

NGK OEM Replacement Blue wires are a good choice and there's also the new NGK Power Cable (Blue) wires.

Just got my spark plugs and spark plug wires replaced for the first time in the car's life (Still has 1997 printed on the wires). Replaced it with NGK Power Cables & OEM Platinum spark plugs (PZFR6G-11).


Or you can get some Spoon Sports wires lol.

 

yea I was thinking NGK but wanted to try something else out anyone ever use or heard of zex I hear there plugs are good but now i wana find good wires but not spoon's wires lol...

 

Phil, check to see if you can get the 7's instead of the 6 for spark plugs. they have them at Acura still and they come in a silver box instead of the red honda box.

and yes, NGK blue wires work as good as OEM.

 

I didn't think you could even get the 6's anymore, if you look at plugs on sparkplugs.com they only have the 7's for the ITR.

 

If you dont want to spend the money on spoon, get NGK. There is a reason why everyone uses them, dont try to be different with motor components, save that for styling the outside.

 

Honda Canada still carries the 6's in the catalogs...we had a ton of them in our parts room and they can still be brought in through the dealership here

5's and 6's are very common for most Honda/Acura's. the 7's are pricey, but i can't remember what car they were for originally (the boxes are older silver Honda boxes with a bit of blue).

 

lol so everyone uses NGK? are MSD wires any good?

 

Say whaaat??!?!?

Going to have to go check tomorrow but it might be all too late. They're all in my car already :-)

I'm alittle amazed at how those seats sold for that price :S

 

Go SPOON if you want some JDM bling and a lot of money to burn.

 

My Spark Plugs for my jdm itr is NGK BKR7E

 

i had msd wires and they failed after maybe 15-20k miles, started arching right threw the boot

 

yah dood, OEM NGK plug and it's the coldest ones in stock at Acura (unless you wanna fork out for Spoon BKR 8's at A&J).

what seats?

 

its almost about that time to change my sparks, so OEM NGK Spark plugs are PZFR6G-11? or should i consider getting NGK BKR7E? i know this has probably been asked
a bazillion times lol, but i would really appriciate the feedback CHEERS!

 

The PFR6G-11 are the stock plugs, if you want to consider one colder you can get the PFR7G-11 like Mashimaro said earlier.

 

the plug really depends on how you drive. for track use the 7s make a lot of sense. if you daily drive i think you would like the 6s more. i tried a 7 for awhile and the burn was rich. the 6s have a better color for street use. wire wise, the NGK is about as close to as OE replacement as you can get. they fit right, work right and last a long time. i ran MSD wires on my corvette for years and never had a failure problem with the set. on hondas the rep isn't as good, same with all the other big wires. i've seen track only cars that gravitate toward the larger lower resistance wires but that's a different application than wanting a wire that will last 5+ years and 50k+ miles.

 

thx fellas truly appriciate the input, so i think i'm gonna Run NGK blue spark harness's with PFR6G-11, same set up as BOS_DC2. Cheers

 

keep in mind, there are actually 2 different types of NGK Blue wires now. there's a newer one that just came out not long ago here that is a lighter blue color...supposedly similar to the JDM NGK wires that weren't available here before..not sure if there's any huge difference in performance however.

 

Your Recaros lol, they haven't sold yet?

time to replace my fuel filter ~

 

Oh, lol! those will be sold if i decide to buy those Mugen S1's or not. I have a buyer lined up for my Recaros already incase i do pick up those seats.

i replaced my fuel filter not long ago. very simple to do.
