whats the difference in the LS and B16 plug wires.
should i get the regular Vpower NGKs or the 4 **** Ngk'z my tuner said that 4 **** ngk's burn fuel better.
and for the jdm B16a i get 2000 civic si plugs?? , cuase i know for the motor every thing is compatible with the 90 tegg B18a and the B16a2 and for the cable trans 90-93 clutch stuff.

NGK V-Powers are all you need. Anything more on a stock B16a is a waste of money.

A B16 wont run properly with LS plug wires. I think I went with 94 del sol VTEC wires.

in general, youre supposed to stick to the brand that matches the make of your car. so for example if you have a ford use autolite, bmws use bosch, etc....since we're interested in hondas, NGKs.

i've never heard that before. what about ford and motorcraft. i know autolite is ford factory, but..... what about crysler? i've used autolites in my jeep, and my civic. i've also used ngk in my 85 chevy small block truck. and my father in law uses champions in his 96 ford explorer. all with no issues. so what your saying...just....doesn't make sense to me.

ford and motorcraft works too and i forget what is ideal for gm (chrysler). champions are all around plugs. and as for using NGKs in your chevy, mismatching plugs wont cause issues, however using the correct brand will give optimal efficiency.
