are NGK.

i've experienced many different types throughout the years, and the best, hands down, especially for the price, are NGK.

there is no question in my mind about this.

and this goes for any car that NGK makes a fitment. if they have 'em, get 'em.

just thought i'd share that.

 

How about spark plugs?

 

thanks! i got some NGK wires.
they work GREAT!

 

Can't go wrong with NGK.

 

ngk wires and plugs are wht come oem so they better be good. but i have always used msd, with or witout a external coil.

 

i agree that NGK offers the best plugs too for most applications. The V-Power are the old stawart and work fantastic for a broad range of applications, whether it be NA or F/I. They are available everywhere and most are in stock at your typical automotive mass retailer, which is a big plus. When it comes to iridiums i actually prefer Denso though. I feel they are constructed better and offer better ground strap angles when running F/I type gaps.

depends what vehicle and i guess where it was produced. when i got my old '97 CX in 1998 it's OE wires were Prestolite.

Though you are correct NGK makes many wires for OEM and it shows.

 

I Personly think that MSD wires are really good... Ohms/ft are 50-80 ohms..... NGKs are good but they are at like 4k ohms a ft.... and bad wires are at 7-8k ohms a foot... LOWER hte resistance, the more power will go through them

 

MSD wires have sub par distributor-side terminals. they are bent in a fashion that compromises the material at the bend, and if you have a vehicle that you have to remove the wires a few times, i'd be wary. Repeated removal will stress that portion and it will fail.

But, I agree the actual wire stock, the construction and material of the wire MSD offers stock is very nice. I actually use their red wire stock for custom applications i make, like if i have to replace a lawnmower wire or any power equipment i use and also external coil conversions.

we run resistor plugs in these cars so the resistance claims are not as pertinant as they seem. You'd be hard pressed to find any real difference between NGK and anything else out there when it comes to a real world performance measurement.

 

What's new? :p

 

I've run NGK products in my cars for years..

Even basic ngk $1 copper plugs worked beautiful in my race motors and turbo cars.

Experience > what you read on the net

 

Do you have any empirical evidence to back up your claim? Or is this just your humble opinion?

first hand experience. they are cheaper than stock, fit as good, and are easier to source.

you certainly should feel free to stick with your 9 to 17 year old stock wires, and i'll use NGK ; )

consider that this forum is 92-00. the newest car in this forum would be 9 years old at this point, the oldest 17 years old. i firmly believe it's better to spend 40 bucks on a set of NGK than $70 on a set of prestolite or sumitomo OE wires. i don't care what TOV tells us, there is no way OE wires are superior than NGK. they might be equal, but they are not better.

(i just spent $27 and change on a new NGK wire set from NAPA for my Montero. 4 plug wires plus a coil cable. that is a steal, and they fit incredibly offering secure attachments to both the plugs AND the cap side. i don't know what kind of wires were on it before, but they were not nearly as good in atleast those regards)

like that article said, it's big business replacing the wires, hence so many options out there. people are going to change the wires. i just want to keep people from spending money they don't have to IF they are going the replace the wires. considering price, availability and performance, NGK is a home run for anyone in the market to replace their wire set.

regardless, the findings of that TOV article don't jive with my experiences with some sets of older stock wires, and there is a period where they do wear out, either as simple as the rubber boots failing, terminal corroding, etc, all causing issues. if i or anyone is at that point, i'd firmly recommend they invest in the NGK over new stockers.

 

I'll stick with my OEM DENSO plugs. Just bought a new set.

 

denso is good as well, but NGK v-powers are SO readily available in so many different types, ranges, etc, that people tend to switch. as mentioned above by superbean, they are cheap and work fantastically in boosted and high compression applications.

 

oem, ngk, or denso

 

"Power", as in current. However, you want high voltage at the plug tips, not current which will destroy your plug tips sooner.

 

NGK plugs and wires is all i use

 

Where do I purchase these parts for the best deal, please NGK plugs and wires?

 

go to rockauto first to grab parts numbers and get shipping charges then compare with ebay for the best deal.

 

I prefer Aurora Wires here in Abbottsford Canada. They make lifetime metal wires made specifically for our high noise applications. Being metal they don't degrade over time like carbon wires do (NGK). But I also live here so it's easy for me to get the custom made lifetime wires.

 

Your other threads indicate you own a 2015 Civic. It doesn't need or use replacement spark plug wires, since it use the engine harness wires and connectors that goes to individual coils on plug.

 

It says the plugs have no plug wires but that it has "boots" that should be replaced at the same time, correct????

 

It doesn't have the traditional plug wires with boots. There are four individual coils that generally never have to be replaced unless they are faulty (e.g., misfire, etc.). The coil list for around $90 each, though it can be purchased for less online.
